A fine surface crack runs across the stone but I found caused no noticeable problems during edge sharpening. \u003cbr\u003eDuring edge sharpening the smooth feeling was particularly nice with good ease of use for a harder stone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMainly tested on carbon steel white and blue as well as ginsan and stryx, with surprisingly good results in all steels. With a bit of mud built up from a 600 atoma or included Nagura the edge was toothy and crispy, with only water in the stone surface the edge became very fine yet kept its bite. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI tested this stone for polishing on flat surfaces such as kiridashi, Kanna and single bevel knives sharpened with very flat bevels. Though possible I don’t recommend. I felt this stone has great potential with the types f edges it could produce. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecommend for those interested in edge sharpening in natural stones or experienced users wanting to polish on harder stones \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatching Nagura include\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Komon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49930203496690,"sku":"260801-OZUKU2","price":45000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/4956\/7218\/files\/260801-OZUKU2.jpg?v=1786879403","url":"https:\/\/komonjapan.com\/products\/260801-ozuku2","provider":"Komon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
