This is an authentic Japanese natural whetstone, a highly prized Uchigumori Suita with elegant Renge (lotus) patterns. It is known for its exceptional balance of sharpening speed and aesthetic finish.

• Texture & Feedback: The stone has a medium-hard density and produces a smooth, light slurry. Because it is easy to control and provides consistent tactile feedback, even beginners can achieve a professional-looking finish with ease.
• Natural Characteristics: Combining the characteristics of the Uchigumori layer (renowned for sword polishing) and the Suita layer (famed for speed), this stone possesses strong abrasive power. It produces a sharp edge while creating a beautiful misty (Kasumi) finish.
• Stability & Dimensions: Measuring approximately 198mm in length and weighing 1088g, it provides a stable and reliable surface for professional-grade sharpening. The rare Renge patterns mark it as a high-quality specimen.
• Condition: This is a used item. There are visible scratches, stains, and marks from previous use on the surface and body. These do not affect its sharpening performance. Please look at the photos carefully to confirm the condition.
