Authentic Japanese Natural Whetstone from Shohonyama, Kyoto.
This Namazu Usu-Karasu Awasedo features a distinctive Namazu (catfish-like) texture with subtle Karasu (crow) patterns. Its soft structure produces rich slurry, smooth sharpening feedback, and a beautiful cloudy to semi-gloss finish, making it ideal for fine finishing work.
Its extra-thick 30-Kiri construction provides outstanding durability and long-term usability.
