Review on πŸ”ͺ NANIWA SP 491 Sharpening Stone: Unleash the True Potential of Your Blades! by Hunter Siemon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Large stone for stone grinding

This was my first high grit stone. The max I had before was a 6K brick. I needed a stone to sharpen my razors. I was a little skeptical when I bought it as there weren't any reviews on it yet. I'm glad I bought it. He's worth every penny. The stone has no stand. Just arrived in bubble wrap. Resharpened my straight razor after a month or two of use. It's scary right now. I think now I like Naniwa stones more than my other stones. Dimensions: 8 1/4" long 2 5/8" wide 3/8" thick UPDATE: I've been using this to sharpen my razors for 8 months. It works great. Every time my razor blade is new as is They have been professionally sharpened. I have supplied this knife with other knives with great success. This purchase was expensive but well worth it. I leave it in bubble wrap and a rubber banded box to keep the stone from falling, tearing or hitting with mine to protect it from other stones. Razor. Never had a problem with it. I still keep it in the bubble wrap and box it came in to protect it from chipping. Worth every pennyUPDATE3: I came to love this stone Appreciate it. So much so that after 4 years the box it came in began to deteriorate from moisture. I always worry about kids dropping it off the shelf. That's why I have a leather case especially for this stone che made. I've never dropped it or knocked it out of my hand, but I treat it like glass. It was good for me and I'm sure my life will last and longer.
