Wide grinding surface with base for more stable sharpening

Review: Chosera 800 lives up to its hype and billing - one of the best medium grit stones money can buy. - If you are looking for one of the best waterstones in the 1K grit range, and money is no object - then look no further. I am not sure why Naniwa chose to give this particular Cho the tag of "800 grit" --- and then also offer a different 1K Chosera stone to compete with it. In the end, all that did was hurt the recognition and sales of this stone - which IMHO (and the opinion of many) is the better stone between the two. Many shopping 1K stones would automatically choose the Cho 1K before the 800 mainly because of the familiarity of the 1K label. This Chosera does everything well - whether kitchen or pocket knives, chisels or plane irons, etc. The hardness is just right, and the feedback is perfect. Then, the stone cuts fast and the edge is clean. This stone cuts like a 1000 -1200 stone, not sure why the 800 label, but Chosera is famous for under-rating their stones in grit. If I want a reliable / utility edge that is not polished to a mirror finish, I typically follow this up with a Chosera 3K and stop there. Many follow the 800 with a Cho 5K also with good results. I have also gone with a Cho 800 --> Cho 3K --> Naniwa Snow White 8K lineup when I want a more polished / refined edge with great results. (note the Cho 10K is VERY expensive, and to me the 8K SW is 90% of what the Cho 10K is for MUCH less). Some woodworker's I know like to go from the Cho 800 to the Naniwa 8K Snow White directly - but I find that there is too much work eliminating the 800 scratch patter and like a stone in between (like the Cho 3K). A couple of use / maintenance tips on this stone - you will get many different opinions and there ARE do's and don'ts to keeping your Cho's in good working order. First - these ARE splash and go stones - but can benefit from a short soak before use (note "short"). Maybe a 10-15 min soaking before hand will help. DO NOT PERMA-SOAK THESE STONES. Short and quick. Next, they require frequent water refreshes as you get them going initially... but do get to a point of saturation quickly where the surface does not require constant refresh. NEXT - and most importantly - dry them at an even and slow pace - do not expose to heat, sunlight or other means to dry them faster. What I do is let them dry for a few hours, then wrap them in a cotton hand towel to dry the last 10-20% after that for a day or two. The key is natural, slow drying. You will read how some have issues with Chosera's scaling / cracking and 99.999 times out of 100 this is due to poor handling, over soaking or poor drying / storage techniques. Sure, the Cho's require a little extra care and feeding to keep them optimal, and are not bullet proof but to me that is the price you pay for this high level of quality. (look at them as a high class lady that needs a little extra maintenance to keep her happy :-)) If you have the budget and don't mind spending more for that little extra bit of quality, this is a great stone. Realize though the 1K waterstone market is clogged with so many great choices that the price of this stone may mean others will choose different for half the price. Recommended. Thanks for reading.
Review: Very good stone - Naniwa chosera 800, not sure why the odd name but this is a very good stone. Cuts fast, low wear and muddiness. Quick to set up, just “splash and go.” No soaking, no waiting. Just have to let it naturally air dry after use to avoid cracking or so i hear, mine has not cracked so i cant say if it does or not, just youtube concerns really. Better than a 1000 grit i think, cuts faster and finish is very comparable. I would buy again, only downside is the high price but as is life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chosera 800 lives up to its hype and billing - one of the best medium grit stones money can buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good stone
*by A***N on December 11, 2025*

Naniwa chosera 800, not sure why the odd name but this is a very good stone. Cuts fast, low wear and muddiness. Quick to set up, just “splash and go.” No soaking, no waiting. Just have to let it naturally air dry after use to avoid cracking or so i hear, mine has not cracked so i cant say if it does or not, just youtube concerns really.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Progression for Maintaining Stainless Steel Knives
*by J***C on May 12, 2025*

This is a high-quality sharpening stone. I use my knives for processing meats with a high fat content, and my usual sharpening routine involves three Naniwa Chosera stones: #400, #800, and #2000. I only use the #400 occasionally, when there are chips in the edge. The #800 is my go-to for regular maintenance, and I finish with the #2000. What I like most about the #800 is its excellent feedback and resistance to clogging during sharpening. The #800 and #2000 together make for a very smooth progression. I previously used the Chosera #3000 for finishing, but for commercial stainless steel knives with an average hardness of around 56 HRC, the #3000 is a bit too fine and tends to create a burr that’s harder to remove.
