Natsuya Japanese natural sharpening stone (medium grain)

Natsuya is a Japanese natural whetstone originating from the Kyoto region, famous for its ancient stone mines. This medium-grained stone (approx. 1000-2000 grit equivalent) is perfect for intermediate sharpening of knives, razors or carpentry tools, providing an extremely clean and controlled sharpening before moving on to finer stones.

Features:

• Natural stone from the Kyoto region
• Medium grit (~1000–2000 grit)
• Suitable for both Japanese and Western knives
• Quickly forms a smooth slurry that makes sharpening easier
• Balanced abrasiveness — effectively removes scratches from rough stone and begins to form a sharp and clean edge profile
• Soft feel when sharpening, giving you great control

Usage:
It is recommended to soak the stone briefly in water before use or to use it as a "wet" stone with a constant water supply. Ideal after initial blade shaping and before final polishing with a fine-grained stone.
