Smooth consistency, wears about right, could be a little firmer. I like them. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Kind of soft *by A***N on December 11, 2025* I use this stone for those knives with the annoying concave edges, the curved shape performs well for this task, however the stone is rather soft so it ends up gouged out after every use. It easily is brought back by a quick diamond plate pass. This is a soaking stone so expect some waiting before sharpening and some more waiting after you are done for it to dry. Theres not many options for the concave edge category of knives. Stone cuts ok, about at the 1000 grit that it is listed as, about as fast as a king deluxe 1000 whetstone but smaller and more awkward. And it just gouges a lot so every session shows considerable wear and thats using it without going crazy in the force department and with a proper soak. Does the job though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Naniwa Kogyo QA-0361 Medium Whetstone for Goken Curved Blades #1000 - Naniwa Kogyo NANIWA Goken Whetstone for Curved Blades Finishing Whetstone QA-0362 - Naniwa QA-0360 Goken Whetstone for Curved Blades Rough Whetstone --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/36166521-naniwa-kogyo-qa-0361-medium-whetstone-for-goken-curved-blades](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/36166521-naniwa-kogyo-qa-0361-medium-whetstone-for-goken-curved-blades) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
