Naniwa Chocera Pro 2000 Whetstone

I decided to upgrade my crazy quilt collection of stones for a "matched" set that had a good reputation. I'm not disappointed. The 400 grit stones quickly removes material while providing good feedback, the 1000 and 3000 stone made it easy to sharpen a bunch of knives that needed attention, and the 5000 was enough to provide a near-mirror polish to a few knives where I want to see that.

It's nice having a strop to provide the finishes touches, too.

I definitely recommend this set for someone who wants to go all-in.

I’m new to freehand sharpening. After much research, I got the 1,000 and 3,000 grit stones. I’ve only touched up a couple of knives that were still fairly sharp but had no problems.

Very high quality stone that has good feedback for a splash and go.

I wanted to get into sharpening my own knives, and this whetstone has been perfect. The splash-and-go design keeps the mess to a minimum and makes it really easy to use. I’ll definitely be picking up a 3K grit in the future.

These stones are excellent.

Not the best price AND they charge tax, but the plastic stone holders are handy & the packaging was absolutely first class.

Wish they would price match, as we both know the pricing structure is built around the recurring 15% sales.

Do not purchase outside of said sales.

If C&M would price match, I'd have doubled my order instead of splitting it up across multiple businesses.
