Easily brings up blackish mud after a few passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI felt this stone worked best with little water with a surface texture from a 600 grit atoma. This combination tended to give the best sharpening feel and feedback from the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn flat surfaces like kiridashi or single bevel knives that have beet sharpened flat this stone gave a strong contrast between soft and hard steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat was particularly impressive was the bright polish it gave to carbon steel. On knives with a slight convex or shape to the bevel or blade surface depending on your strike direction I would recommend finishing the soft iron with a fine Kasumi powder to even out the surface, or us the stone with a softer Nagura to bring up mud making it easier to sharpen in shaped surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Komon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49930203660530,"sku":"260801-KIZUYAMA","price":150000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/4956\/7218\/files\/260801-KIZUYAMA.jpg?v=1786879553","url":"https:\/\/komonjapan.com\/products\/260801-kizuyama","provider":"Komon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
