Authentic Japanese Natural Whetstone from Shohonyama, Kyoto.
This White Suita features a beautiful, clean sharpening surface characteristic of high-quality Kyoto natural whetstones. Its soft, slightly porous structure produces rich slurry, smooth sharpening feedback, and a beautiful kasumi finish, making it ideal for kitchen knives, chisels, plane blades, and razors.
A rare highlight of this stone is the natural script-like pattern visible on one side. Even after approximately 2 mm was carefully shaved from the surface, the pattern remained unchanged, confirming that it is a natural geological formation within the stone.
No cracks or chips are present, ensuring reliable performance and long-term durability.
