With excellent hardness and density, this piece is perfect for razor honing using Mikawa nagura progressions. The feedback is extremely clear and readable with bumpy feedback which is a rare and desired trait. This stone will release a bit of itself into the slurry mixture but with it's clear feedback, doesn't serve as a negative. This stone has a superficial fissure on the surface near the side, which only serves as a visual distraction with no affect on honing\/results. Overall, this large karasu is a great value piece offering a solid platform in which to hone with great looks to match it's performance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffith Shaving Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42356644970590,"sku":"0052","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/2905\/files\/IMG_7911_4b16546d-0c0d-4398-aa81-cabbc646d022.jpg?v=1767739220","url":"https:\/\/www.griffithshavinggoods.com\/products\/aiiwatani-karasu-japanese-natural-finishing-whetstone-1","provider":"Griffith Shaving Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
