Japanese Natural Whetstone Shinden Shiro Suita /Hideriyama Shiro Suita Set 1041g

Description


A rare San-gata sized set featuring a Shinden Shiro Suita and a Hideriyama Shiro Suita from Kyoto, Japan.

Both stones are ideally sized for use as Tomo Nagura with natural finishing stones, while also being practical as compact finishing stones for smaller kitchen knives, planes, chisels, and other edged tools.

The Shinden Shiro Suita is prized for its uniform, straightforward stone quality. With a medium hardness and excellent cutting performance, it produces a rich, creamy slurry that develops quickly and consistently. Its smooth sharpening feel makes it ideal for creating refined kasumi finishes and keen, beautifully polished edges.

In contrast, the Hideriyama Shiro Suita is distinguished by the fine, homogeneous structure characteristic of high-quality Shiro Suita. It generates an abundant slurry while maintaining excellent control throughout the sharpening process, producing a deep, beautiful kasumi finish on soft iron (jigane) and a refined, long-lasting edge on hardened steel.

Combining the smooth, user-friendly character of the Shinden Shiro Suita with the rich slurry and exceptional finishing performance of the Hideriyama Shiro Suita, this set offers outstanding practicality as well as strong collectible appeal. It is an excellent choice for enthusiasts who appreciate premium Japanese natural finishing stones.

Please note that these are not for beginner sharpeners since they're harder to use.These are natural stones meaning that every single one of them are different so my measured size are not accurate. This is a life time investment for people who lives sharpening their knives and tools, do not hesitate to ask me your questions.
