    Default What happened to Naniwa 12000 super stone?

    Any idea why Naniwa don't have the 12K super stone in their site nor in their catalog?
    I wanted to buy the stone directly from Japan but the highest grit available super stone (from several Japanese dealers) is the 10K.
    10K is good for me but I'm just curious.

    I agree, my 12000 is just awesome. Maybe they're just out of stock right now?????

    Now they will become collectors items!

    Those that have one now have an appreciating asset

    Got a reply from Naniwa:

    "As you asked, ours #12K of Super stone does not list in our web site officially.
    This grit 12K developed for overseas market, and maybe 5 years later produced to market.
    Then, we introduce it only our direct dealer.
    Kindly purchase and use with confidence, because ours 12K is genuine NANIWA made."

    Now I want it :-) it's just that I don't like the idea of paying more than $40 shipping to Israel...

    Michaelcohen I use classicedge.ca they have the naniwa 12k and if you spend $100 or more they ship free world wide.
