Nagura Stone 8000 Grit

Nagura stones are a useful accessory to 6000 grit (and above) finishing stones. They can also be used as small sharpening stone themselves.

The Nagura stone serves 2 purposes when used in conjunction with a waterstone :

1. To Develop A Slurry

Creating a slurry on your finishing stones before actually sharpening your tools on them is a good practice as it will greatly speed up the sharpening process.

• To create the slurry first soak both the sharpening stone and the Nagura stone until saturated - usually around 5-10 minutes.
• Rub the Nagura stone over your finishing stone until a good slurry has developed on the surface of the finishing stone.
• The slurry can also be used to clean the stains from the surface of a blade caused by the tannins in wood.

2. Flattening High Spots On Finishing Stones

When using the finishing stone you notice a high spot developing, you can actually rub it out with the Nagura stone.

The Nagura stone can also be used as a small sharpening stone in its own right.

This artificial Nagura stone is equivalent to an 8000 grit gold stone.

Stone Size : Approx. 70 x 25 x 20mm
