## Description

Description The Arata The simplest way to describe: the Gouken Arata is the slim version of a (improved) Chosera that is same surface size but thinner (15mm); without the not-so-useful nagura and comes with a "removable" base (the box) rather than a permanently mounted to a base. Much easier to store or carry around. This specification reflects the voice of the user, "Is there without base?" These sharpening products, made by one of the most popular Japanese whetstone manufacturer Naniwa, are called "Gouken Arata" series meaning "Refined Chosera Super Ceramic" . The wide sharpening area, also with support by a base that can beused as a case makes you sharpen your knives stably. Even blades of hardened (such as blue steel) can be more quickly and satisfactorily bladed. Particles are even, excellent in abrasive, to finish into good & sharp blade several times faster than conventional whetstone Size: 210mm L x 70mm W x 15mm H SHARPENING INSTRUCTION 1.

Review: Awesome stone, this is my first naniwa stone and I can see now why the make a big deal out of it. Cuts fast, dosen't load up and leaves a good edge on the knife. The stone is supposed to be a wet and go stone, but it needs a quick 1min soak in water,but no big deal still a Awesome stone.
