Authentic Japanese Natural Whetstone from Shohonyama, Kyoto.
This Tomae Asagi features a distinctive Madara (mottled) pattern, an exceptionally rare characteristic for Tomae Asagi stones and seldom seen on the market.
Its hard, fine-grained structure provides outstanding polishing performance, crisp yet smooth sharpening feedback, and produces a bright, refined finish. The Madara pattern is purely natural and does not affect sharpening performance, making this stone ideal for kitchen knives, chisels, plane blades, razors, and other precision edge tools.
