Nagura stones are necessary to create a sharpening slurry\n(lather or cream) on the surface of a whetstone.

Without such a\nprocess, a whetstone quickly becomes ``glazed\" (clogged) from embedded metal\nmicro shavings which inhibit sharpening. Another important use of nagura\nstones is to flatten the surface of waterstones which becomes convex (warped\nor uneven) with use, i.e., the stone is worn out in the middle more than on\nthe edges.

Nagura Stone for Sharpening Honing Stones, Grit 12000

Style:Grit 12K Nagura stones are used with full-size waterstones (whetstones) of a matching grit. Nagura stones are necessary to create a sharpening slurry (lather or cream) on the surface of a whetstone. Without a nagura, a slurry is difficult to create with some natural stones and ceramic bonded modern synthetic stones. Naguras are also used to clean the pores of a waterstone from metal particles by lifting them off and washing away. Without such a process, a whetstone quickly becomes ``glazed" (clogged) from embedded metal micro shavings which inhibit sharpening. Another important use of nagura stones is to flatten the surface of waterstones which becomes convex (warped or uneven) with use, i.e., the stone is worn out in the middle more than on the edges. Attempting to sharpen or hone a blade on such a surface can permanently ruin the blade. This nagura should be soaked in water for 5-7 minutes before use and stored dry.

Product Features

  • Nagura are prep/correcting stones used with full-size sharpening stones (whetstones) to assist in sharpening knives, razors, chisels, planes, and other blades

  • By creating a cutting slurry, nagura also eliminate suction between the blade and the stone and resulting skipping action leading to deformed or micro chipped bevels; nagura also help to break down grit particles of the host stone into finer size
  • This nagura is a natural "Ocean Blue" Tsushima nagura stone; quarried from a now closed underwater mine near South Tsushima Island, Japan; limited stock
