Description from the seller
This is a high-quality natural Amakusa whetstone (天草砥石) from Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, a region historically known for producing reliable and durable natural sharpening stones.
Amakusa whetstones are traditionally used as medium-grit stones, ideal for general sharpening and edge preparation. With an estimated grit equivalent of #800 and above, this stone is well suited for sharpening Japanese kitchen knives, Western knives, planes, chisels, and other carpentry tools.
This example was carefully selected from a large number of finished stones for its quality and usability. The stone has a generous size and substantial weight, providing excellent stability during sharpening. As with all natural stones, surface patterns, mineral inclusions, and color variations are natural characteristics and not defects.
A practical and authentic sharpening tool for craftsmen, knife enthusiasts, and collectors of Japanese tools.
Immediate purchase is possible.
Method of Shipment
