The Super Stones are made on the basis of synthetic resin. Naniwa produces this binding resin directly for its stones. It adjusts perfectly to the grain size of the whetstone. That's one of the reasons Super Stones are so incredibly good. They are hard, do not wear easily and have a high concentration of sharpening particles. Consequently, the knife does not quickly sink into the stone and the sharpening process is accelerated. Plus, you just have to wet them: just add a little water and you're done.

After sharpening it is important to properly dry the Super Stones and let them dry completely at room temperature. Do not use or any heat source. Once dry, store them in a dry, dark place to avoid small cracks.

The Naniwa Super Stones are famous for their hardness and the amazing sharpening results achieved with them. There are two versions: Super Stones S1 (1 cm thick) and Super Stone S2 (2 cm thick).
