NAN-A-103
Naniwa Pink Aluminum Oxide 220 Grit Japanese Dressing/Flattening Stone, Grooved, 21cm X 5.5cm X 2.5cm
Over time, any sharpening stone will start to wear and the surface will become hollowed out somewhat, and so it will need to be flattened (also sometimes referred to dressing or lapping). This stone is made for this purpose. Just wet the flattening stone, wet the sharpening stone, and move the flattening stone over the surface of the sharpening stone until you have it level to your liking.
This new model is longer than the old black one, and so it will be somewhat easier and faster to use, and longer lasting as well. It's made of pink aluminum oxide which is harder and slower-wearing than the silicon carbide powder of the black model. For casual home users, this is a great choice for getting started before you decide if you want to invest in a diamond lapping plate like an Atoma or DMT.
Warranty: 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects.
