Beautiful, pure white, hon Shiro Suita Tomo nagura from Hideriyama. These medium soft Tomo nagura make the perfect accessory for most of your sharpening needs. Whether being used a stone for re conditioning a base stones surface or providing abrasive slurry, these Shiro Suita do it in style. Mined from the deeper, hon Shiro strata, they offer a more refined set of performance characteristics when compared to the Hideriyama Renge Suita Tomo which we offer as well. These Hon Shiro nagura offer a bit more in terms of refinement capabilities. These Hon Shiro also shine when used as a slurry stone for knife polishing. Their slurry can be highly beneficial on a harder stone by adding to the stones ability to create a vividly contrasting kasumi finish. They can also be used as a rust eraser, when rubbed directly on to a blade, similar to the concept of finger stones. Being on the softer side, these highly abrasive slurry stones are also great for re conditioning stone surfaces after lapping/heavy use. They provide a smooth, matte stone surface for maximum comfortability while honing.
These nagura will tend to release their own slurry when used on base stones Level 3.5+ hardness.
