With its slightly softer hardness it could make a thick mud perfect for a thick Kasumi finish and great texture for blending during polishing. \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 steel but I felt pairs well with single and double bevel carbon clad knives, wrought iron and similar iron. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest used with a medium amount of 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. With little water a thick mud can be made, using more water in your slurry will make a darker mirror finish on the core steel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall a very versatile stone for both polishing and edge sharpening. An easy stone to use suitable for all levels of sharpeners, but those with some natural stone experience will get a lot more from this stone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Komon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67722747740402,"sku":"261001-OHIRA4","price":60000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/4956\/7218\/files\/261001-OHIRA4.jpg?v=1791963271","url":"https:\/\/komonjapan.com\/products\/261001-ohira4","provider":"Komon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
