Shohonyama Sō-Renge Suita – 655 g (Soft Finishing Stone)
An authentic Japanese natural finishing stone (Awasedo) from Kyoto’s legendary Shohonyama region. This Sō-Renge Suita features a striking full-surface lotus-flower pattern (renge) and a soft, responsive feel.
It delivers fast slurry generation, smooth sharpening, and a forgiving touch—ideal for kitchen knives, chisels, plane blades, and razors. A rare characteristic of this stone is a faint natural fragrance released when raising slurry, adding to its high collector value.
