Nakayama green stone is perfect for finishing razors. Of course, it will easily cope with knives and other tools. A top class homogenous natural stone that would certainly deserve the Maruka label if it was in the right shape. Everything is perfect here: structure, speed of work, smoothness, response, etc. This type of stone is one of the most valued not only in Japan, but also by masters all over the world, which is why it costs thousands of euros. It is an investment for your whole life and for generations to come, because the stone will wear very slowly.
The Nakayama grinding stone is the finest point quarried in Kyoto Prefecture almost 900 years ago. The mine closed more than 30 years ago. The mine was very important as a military mine, as the stones mined there were used to sharpen swords, and it was therefore guarded for a long time by the Emperor of Japan or the Japanese government. For a long time, only the Honma family could operate the mine. Nakayama Maruka is a highly sought-after finishing stone, even in Japan, because the mine has been closed and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find them. It is ideal for sharpening razors, knives or other tools that need a very delicate finish.
