The Advance Stones are made using a synthetic resin bond, with the binding agent carefully manufactured in-house by Naniwa for consistent quality and performance.

This bonding system is precisely matched to the grit structure of each stone, which is a key factor in the outstanding performance of the Advance range. The result is a stone that is hard, durable, and resistant to wear, while maintaining a high concentration of abrasive particles.

This construction helps prevent the blade from digging too aggressively into the surface, allowing for smooth, controlled sharpening and efficient material removal.
