Letting this large beautiful Natsuya stone go as he accumulated too many stones (again), include multiple Natsuya stones.
See photos for dimensions as well, this is a massive brick, sealed on all but the sharpening side as well.
This is more of a fine Natsuya which is rarer, makes for an excellent stone to finish kitchen knives on, I often stop here for very refined but still toothy edges.
This is a harder stone and in my opinion does best with some nagura or diamond plate to create some slurry before sharpening or polishing. Leaves a very nice finish actually — see last photo for a recent knife to get an idea, although I’ve used the knife bit since sharpening. My iPhone doesn’t quite capture it but it gives you an idea.
This will be US shipping only. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
