A very rare Suit that I have only seen in trade a few times. This stone is medium hard and fine with a medium sharpening feel and speed. It will not form a slurry, so we recommend using nagura to speed up the polishing of the knives. Conversely, black metal waste will quickly build up when you work the blade on the stone. With the appropriate patience and technique, the stones leave a shiny, refined kasumi on both the soft laminate and the hard core steel.
The blade is quite non-aggressive, but it is perfect for kitchen knives. This stone also works well with carpentry tools, e.g. for chisels and planes and is an excellent pre-finishing razor prep.
Atago Shiro Suita whetstone will do all the work perfectly. The stone is gray in color with pinkish spots and yellowish lines in namaz, which may look like scratches at first glance. No toxic lines.
Atagoyama
This mine produced stones from Chu-ishi naori, which are generally large and clean. Mount Atago is often considered the center of Kyoto's sharpening stone mining area.
