This is an authentic Japanese natural whetstone from Kyoto Hon-yama. It is a Suita stone specifically suited for final finishing (Shiage), known for its fine-grained texture and stable performance.

• Texture & Feedback: Being on the slightly harder side, this stone offers excellent feedback and maintains its flatness well during use. It is suitable for those who prefer a stable and controlled sharpening feel.
• Natural Characteristics: This stone features a very fine grain, allowing for a polished and razor-sharp finish. It possesses the characteristic fast-cutting speed of the Suita layer while providing the refinement required for the final stage of sharpening.
• Stability & Dimensions: With a weight of 1440g and a substantial thickness of 47mm, this stone provides a reliable and steady base. Its 105mm width offers a generous surface area for professional blades.
• Condition: This is a used item. There are visible scratches, stains, and signs of wear on the surface and body. These do not detract from its inherent quality as a natural sharpening tool. Please look at the photos carefully.
