Nakayama Natural Stone with Renge

A medium-hard to hard Nakayama natural stone with visible renge and a creamy, well-controlled sharpening feel. It produces a medium-bright kasumi finish and works very well as a finishing stone for kitchen knives.

On blades with an iron cladding it leaves a silky matte finish, with strong contrast between the jigane and hagane. The stone is well suited both for kasumi polishing and as a final step to refine the edge after synthetic stones.

Nakayama stones are quarried in the mountains north of Kyoto and are among the most sought-after Japanese natural whetstones. Each stone is unique in structure, hardness and sharpening feel.
