    Default Speckled Naniwa Superstones

    I find when I wet my Naniwa superstones some dark speckles appear. I've been using a DMT D8C to flatten and the Naniwa dressing stone. These speckles go away when the stone dries. The photo is of the 1000, but i notice on the 5000. I think the hone is still working fine. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else noticed this?

    You could email Naniwa and ask them directly. I have not seen this on any of my Naniwa hones.

    Looks pretty normal to me, but I only have the 8k and 12k SS. My other Naniwas are Pro/Chosera. I seem to remember whitish speckles on the 8k and 12k.

    I don't think I would.worey about it. If it is not affecting performance and if it is not getting pot holes then I would consider it character.

    Stop using the Dressing Stone

    Use just the DMT D8C and see if that changes things
