Q. Do Naniwa Advance Super Stones require flattening?
A. Over time, all water stones require flattening. The bonding material of the stone will wear, providing fresh abrasive material. This is why water stones sharpen so quickly. This is also why they need to be flattened periodically. Flattening can be done with a Naniwa Flattening Stone or a DMT Dia-Flat 95 Lapping Plate.
