The powder is sifted through approximately <strong>2 mm sieve<\/strong>, so it is not a particularly fine, laboratory-grade powder\u2014it may contain particles of natural stone of various sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The material is <strong>neutral<\/strong>, which makes it well-suited for use with steel\u2014it promotes less rusting than the more acidic natural stones found in some regions. Due to its higher mica content, the powder has good adhesion and a pleasant, soft feel. Compared to other Iy\u014d powders, its texture is drier and more slippery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This powder can be used for various traditional Japanese sharpening and polishing tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>to remove burrs (flash)<\/strong> \u2013 by mixing the powder with water and applying the suspension to a fabric surface;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>for polishing and a natural hazy (kasumi) effect<\/strong> extract;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>for finishing various knives and other cutting tools;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>for the production of wooden sharpening surfaces (mokuken \/ mokuto)<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>experimental methods of traditional Japanese sharpening and polishing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the simplest ways is to mix the powder with water and then absorb the resulting supernatant into <strong>sashiko \/ cotton fabric<\/strong> and use it as a flexible surface for polishing and removing scale. When used properly, the cloth gradually darkens as a result of the iron particles it removes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The powder can also be further ground into a finer fraction using <strong>mortar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional Uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Japan, this type of natural stone powder can be used in the production of so-called <strong>wooden whetstones<\/strong>, when the stone powder is embedded in the surface of the wood. Porous hardwood is particularly suitable for this, as the powder can become firmly embedded in its pores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such surfaces are particularly useful for sharpening <strong>curved knives and other tools with complex geometries<\/strong>, when using a standard hard natural stone is not practical or when you want to conserve a valuable sharpening stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is <strong>natural stone raw material powder<\/strong>, rather than standardized synthetic abrasive granules. Particle size, color, and properties may vary naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Amount: about 1 kg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An excellent choice for those interested in traditional Japanese methods of sharpening, polishing, and using stone powder.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>This powder can be used for various traditional Japanese sharpening and polishing tasks:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<li><strong>to remove burrs (flash)<\/strong> \u2013 by mixing the powder with water and applying the suspension to a fabric surface;<\/li>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<li><strong>for polishing and a natural hazy (kasumi) effect<\/strong> extract;<\/li>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<li>for finishing various knives and other cutting tools;<\/li>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<li><strong>for the production of wooden sharpening surfaces (mokuken \/ mokuto)<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<li>for experimental traditional Japanese sharpening and polishing methods. 1 KG<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":6526,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[22],"product_tag":[401],"class_list":["post-6525","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-jnats","product_tag-lyoto","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6525"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=6525"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=6525"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=6525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
