Consistent 1K Cutting With Honest Feedback

Naniwa’s Gouken Deluxe 1000 is a dependable mid-grit waterstone sized 210 × 65 × 30 mm. It lays down crisp, even scratch patterns that set a clean working edge on kitchen knives, chisels, and garden tools before you move to polishing stones. Soak the stone for about 10 minutes and keep the surface flat for best results.

Made in Osaka by Naniwa, a specialist in bonded abrasives since 1941, this 1K is a practical daily driver: fast enough to refresh dull edges, hard enough to hold shape, and responsive under light pressure. It is not intended for ceramic knives.

What Sets Our Tools Apart

Choosing your mid‑grit

A 1000 grit stone resets a tired edge and refines bevels after coarse work. It is the pivot between repair and polish

Soak time and care

Soak about 10 minutes, then keep a thin water film while sharpening. Rinse after use, air‑dry on edge, and flatten when needed.

Progression tips

For dull or chipped edges, start on a coarse stone, move to this 1K for structure, then finish on a 3K–6K depending on bite vs polish.
