Shobudani is one of the two original Honyama Mines along with Nakayama. Shobudani was revered for its diverse, high quality stones. Shobudani Suita are highly regarded for their fast cutting speed and polishing ability. They have become quite rare since mining has ceased decades ago. This Karasu Suita was mined from the Tenjou Suita layer and displays a vivid, multi-faceted surface with Tenjou Suita blue base which is absolutely covered with stunning Karasu patterns. Easy going Karasu suita with nice semi firm feel. Great for razors when used before a super fine finisher. Perfect for knives and tools creates a bright, hazy kasumi finish with great contrast. Produces results similar to a fine Uchigumori but a tad softer. fast stone which produces fine yet slightly toothy edges. Capable of nice refinement with work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffith Shaving Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67962634272862,"sku":"6187","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/2905\/files\/IMG_5104_158a686b-78d1-4681-9a4a-a02217a24187.jpg?v=1794270840","url":"https:\/\/www.griffithshavinggoods.com\/fr\/products\/shobudani-karasu-suita-japanese-natural-whetstone","provider":"Griffith Shaving Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
