A great versatile Ohira Renge Suit for a variety of tasks. The response is very smooth, the lines are not a problem at the moment. The Kasumi finish is bright and refined, bringing out the details of the blade material and leaving a surface that is "scratch free" in all but the harshest light. It is an excellent stone suitable for a variety of tasks - final sharpening of kitchen knives, kasumi polishing, tools, scissors. Such Ohira Suita helped the mine achieve such an outstanding reputation.
This white shiro suit is decorated with red "lotus flowers" also known as renge pattern. It's a decent shape and size, and the lines aren't a problem with sharpening.
Ohira (大平, Oohira, Ohirayama)
Western mine, famous for the quality of Uchigumori and Suita. Although the mine is still occasionally worked, exportable uchigumori and Ohira suita are increasingly difficult to find. Many miners are reportedly concerned about the long-term supply of quality uchigumori stones. Because of the superior quality of Ohira suita and uchigumori, it is not uncommon for stones from other mines to be stamped or sold as Ohira.
