This is an authentic Japanese natural whetstone from Kyoto Honyama. It is a rare and beautiful Renge Suita featuring the iconic Suminagashi (ink-wash) pattern, offered in an increasingly rare "Size 24 Long" (Choshaku) format.
- Texture & Feedback: Harvested from a softer part of the Suita layer, this stone offers a gentle, buttery feedback. It generates slurry quickly and is perfect for achieving a fine, misty (Kasumi) finish.
- Natural Characteristics: The surface is adorned with the Suminagashi pattern, where Renge spots flow like traditional ink-wash paintings. This stone is free from any problematic veins (Suji-nashi), ensuring a safe and consistent sharpening experience across the entire surface.
- Stability & Dimensions: Measuring 253mm (10 inches) in length, this Choshaku stone provides an expansive surface area. This rare size allows for long, steady strokes, making it ideal for sharpening long blades such as Yanagiba or Sujihiki.
- Condition: This item is in new and unused condition. As a natural product, please look at the photos carefully to confirm its unique state and characteristics.
