If you asked: "Give me a stone that isn't too soft, isn't too hard, has great feedback, is splash and go, and has its own base but won't cost me an arm and a leg,", we're reaching for the Shapton Kuromaku every time.
Somewhat reminiscent of the Chosera (albeit with a slightly thinner stone), the Kuromaku are a splash and go dream. Softer than the Glass HR, harder than Suehiro Cerax, they represent excellent value.
Grit: #120 Very Coarse (Only for larger repairs)

The Chocera are one of Naniwa's premium whetstone offerings. Similar to the Shapton Glass but with better feedback, albeit a slightly faster wear rate. A thick, firm, high-end stone perfect for all steel stypes and applications.
