Like most Hideriyama , this stone is on the softer side. It seems to be a bit more firm than the Hideriyama Suita Stones overall. The overall feeling of this stone is dense but soft and gentle. Sharpening a vintage plane was a real pleasure with the stone \"grabbing\" the bevel and gliding smoothly. The stone releases slurry which is abrasive and can be felt through semi dry, whispy feedback combined with a smooth, oily element. Very interesting stone in terms of feel. For knives the stone is a dream to use with maximum ease of use in achieving a flawless Kasumi polish with little time and effort. Polish is a deep, dark, smoky Jigane and semi bright, whitish Hagane. Would make a great pre polished for Honyaki blades. When used for razors, the stone will quickly remove medium grit scratches and creates an aggressive, hazy, pre - finished edge which is ready for final finishing. When compared to the Hideriyama Shiro Suita, this stone is more firm, fine and dense. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA photo of the stone's polishing ability on soft and hard steels of a Japanese kanna (plane) blade are shown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffith Shaving Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41822544592990,"sku":"0018","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/2905\/files\/IMG_3055_5753c89d-94b9-4967-bdb9-731729050668.jpg?v=1750981986","url":"https:\/\/www.griffithshavinggoods.com\/de\/products\/hideriyama-tomae-iromono-ooban-japanese-whetstone","provider":"Griffith Shaving Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
