It typically leaves a misty "Kasumi" finish on the iron portion of laminated blades while refining the steel edge. It is a "Kama-to" style stone, traditionally shaped for specific sharpening tasks.
• Stability & Dimensions: The stone measures approximately 146mm x 37mm x 35mm with a weight of 369g. Its size and soft texture make it suitable for tasks requiring quick slurry production and consistent surface contact.
