During 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 on 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 on the stone surface the edge became very fine yet kept its bite. Overall the edge I felt was on the finer side. \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\u003eNagura include\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Komon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49930203562226,"sku":"260801-OZUKUIRO1","price":60000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/4956\/7218\/files\/260801-OZUKUIRO1.jpg?v=1786879465","url":"https:\/\/komonjapan.com\/products\/260801-ozukuiro1","provider":"Komon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
