Japanese Natural Whetstone Shohonyama Asagi Nashiji Finishing Stone 1030g

This authentic Asagi natural finishing stone is from the historic Shohonyama region of Kyoto. It is a genuine specimen valued for its fine grain and the characteristic "Nashiji" patterns found in high-quality natural stones.

  • Visual Characteristics: It features the traditional "Asagi" color with delicate "Nashiji" (pear-skin) patterns. These markings are natural geological indicators of the stone's quality and origin.
  • Stability & Dimensions: Weighing approximately 1030g and measuring 210mm in length, this stone provides a generous working surface. It comes attached to a wooden base, ensuring excellent stability during the sharpening process.
  • Condition: As a natural product, the stone shows fine signs of use and surface marks, which are a testament to its natural origin. Please examine the photos carefully.
