Splash and go stone, Naniwa still prints the "Do not soak for extended time or you will ruin it" warning on the side. I have the Pro 1000 (same thing maybe?) which only have some basic info printed on the side, and it definitely not thirsty.
Correct, do not soak them, but some of the Choseras do absorb water. That's why I called it thirsty. Chosera 600 is the most thirsty, but it's still a small amount of water that it absorbs. Just more compared to something like a shapton which absorbs none.
@@SaltyKayakAdventures Actually I take Naniwa's warning seriously since my Tojiro 4000 stone soaked for a long time, and craked. It has a lot of cracks on it like when the soil dries up. It turned out, that it was a rebranded Naniwa stone. It also have the warning (even the typeface is the same), but at that time I was not interested in Japanese language, so I did not know what is written there.
We were just taking about that earlier. Originally, I didn't think there was a difference at all, but now I've read that it's a similar abrasive, but possibly a different binder. I haven't used any of the rock star stones yet, so I can't say for sure.

What's the difference between shapton glass and shapton rockstar?
