Dimensions/Weight:
173 mm long (6.81 in) × 53 mm wide (2.09 in) × 53 mm tall (2.09 in) / 1085 grams (2.39 lbs)
This hone is a very soft and velvety smooth Akamonzen (red) Aoto from Miyazaki. This stone self slurries with silky fine mud and takes a minute to hydrate initially. Again, it's not extremely muddy but differing amounts of pressure will release mud accordingly with light pressure breaking down the existing mud without releasing new particles. This stone is versatile in use in that it can be used for Razors, knives and tools. A wonderful option to remove medium grit scratches and leaves a consistent layer of haze before moving to another finer toishi.
A photo of the stone's polishing ability on a high quality Japanese kitchen knife is shown.
