Naniwa Kogyo QA-0361 Medium Whetstone for Goken Curved Blades #1000

Works well for my needs.

These work. Smooth consistency, wears about right, could be a little firmer. I like them.

I use this stone for those knives with the annoying concave edges, the curved shape performs well for this task, however the stone is rather soft so it ends up gouged out after every use. It easily is brought back by a quick diamond plate pass. This is a soaking stone so expect some waiting before sharpening and some more waiting after you are done for it to dry. Theres not many options for the concave edge category of knives. Stone cuts ok, about at the 1000 grit that it is listed as, about as fast as a king deluxe 1000 whetstone but smaller and more awkward. And it just gouges a lot so every session shows considerable wear and thats using it without going crazy in the force department and with a proper soak. Does the job though.

It’s a good sharpening stone. I use it to sharpen pocket knives, EDC knives, wood carving knives, and outdoor knives. For its price, you can expect guaranteed quality. Its price ranges from $12 to $15. You might think it’s small—because it is—but it’s a sharpening stone designed to be carried with you at any time of the day. Compared to larger stones that measure 8-9 inches x 2-3 inches x 0.5 inches with the same 1000-grit range, which cost $40-$100, this one is much more portable. And of course, you can’t easily carry those large stones unless you have a big backpack. I simply use the sides of the stone to sharpen my knives, as well as small chisels and gouges. Buy it—you won’t regret it!

a great product ! i have not used them yet but they look and feel great !

Soak in w as term first. Cuts fast and fine. Pair with the Felco diamond sharpener and you've got a great sharpening kit for shears, pruners and scissors.

Great product, great price, great service

These are too soft to sharpen a knife

When you need them nothing else will do the job , good quality and size

鎌を研磨するために常に畑に携帯しています。 研ぎ易く切れ味がすぐに復活するため、なくてはならない商品です。 YouTubeにも研ぎ方が上がっていたりと普段使い慣れない方にも丁寧に教えようとする姿勢に好感が持てました。 また購入させて頂きます。

Once you get the technique it works really well and has brought 3 pairs of secateurs back from blunt to razor sharp in not much time.

平たい砥石ではどうしてもうまく砥げなかった、くちばし状に内反りしたシェーピングナイフを砥ぐために購入しました。 凸状の形が刃にフィットして上手く砥げました。砥ぐ前とは切れ味の次元がちがいます。

took a long time to write this , but these really are just super handy . great for sharpening pruners or curved knifes
