Great for both single and double bevel knives, i really liked it for double bevel full blade polishing due to its smooth grain that allowed for easy consistent strokes and finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTested on Tamahagane Honyaki, Genkai white 1 Honyaki, standard soft sanmai white 1 from Sakai, nantetsu and Kato sanmai. The stone performed well across all steels. It’s fine grain \u003cbr\u003etexture and cutting speed make it suitable for Honyaki. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest used with little water for both polishing and edge sharpening. I tend to start most of my stones with a surface texture from a worn 600 grit atoma, this stone gave a very clean clear contrast between soft iron and core steel with a very crisp cladding edge line. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver all an excellent stone for both polishing and edge sharpening but I found it excels in polishing, best suited for those with some natural stone experience. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Komon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50120564900082,"sku":"260901-OHIRAIRO2","price":85000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/4956\/7218\/files\/260901-OHIRAIRO2.jpg?v=1789824064","url":"https:\/\/komonjapan.com\/products\/260901-ohirairo2","provider":"Komon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
