Aizu Koppa Japanese Natural Toishi Medium Grit Whetstone for Knives and Razors
This exceptional Japanese whetstone was selected and purchased by us directly from Japan, then thoroughly tested and coated with cashew lacquer on sides and back to protect the stone for long term use.
Dimensions/Weight: 178mm (7.01 inches) long × 60mm (2.36 inches) wide × 30mm (1.18 inches) tall, and weighs 720g (1.59 pounds).
Another wonderful Aizu in affordable koppa size, acquired from the natural whetstone museum in Kyoto. All of the performance characteristics like fast cutting speed, very hard base and fine finish apply here. With water only, there was very little cutting action but once slurried, the stone starts performing at a really high level with lots of black swarf. This stone polishes fine and bright.
A photo of the stone's polishing ability on a high quality Japanese kitchen knife is shown.
