The Naniwa Hibiki 6000 Grit Sharpening Stone is a resinoid-bonded aluminum oxide stone made in Japan. This stone is known for its extreme hardness, durability, and resistance to wear, allowing it to maintain a flat surface for extended use. The 6000-grit classification places it in the fine-grit range, suitable for edge finishing to create a highly refined, smooth edge on blades. It is primarily recommended for sharpening woodworking tools, such as chisels and plane blades, and high-hardness single-bevel knives. The stone is a soaking type and must be immersed in water for 10 to 20 minutes before use. Water should be applied to the surface as needed during the sharpening process. For care, rinse the stone, wipe it dry, and allow it to air dry completely at room temperature; do not store it in water. Regular flattening is necessary to ensure optimal sharpening performance.
