Perfect for kasumi finishing and fine polishing, delivering an exceptionally smooth and controlled surface. Mizukihara stones are known for their slightly higher cutting power and ease of use, making them particularly appreciated by both knife makers and polishers.

The result is a silky, even finish and a sharply defined edge — the kind of result only a true Uchigumori can produce.

A stone for collectors or serious craftsmen who seek nothing but the best.
