Miyazaki Akamonzen Aoto Japanese Natural Toishi Whetstone for Knives and Razors
Quantity:
This Japanese whetstone was selected and purchased by us directly from Japan, then thoroughly tested and coated with cashew lacquer on sides and back to protect the stone for long term use.
Approximate Dimensions/Weight:
It measures 200 mm (7.87 inches) long × 38 mm (1.50 inches) wide × 40 mm (1.57 inches) tall, and weighs 717 g (1.58 pounds).
A semi soft, standard grade Akamonzen Red Aoto. This stone has a few small lines on the surface which can cause small scratches in soft iron cladding. They do not scratch hardened steel, therefore making them perfect for razor medium grit honing. The stone can set bevels where no major damage has been done to the edge. They also serve well in scratch removal of a bevel setting stone. These Aoto have wonderful range as they can be used to take the edge from bevel set to pre finish with one stone. The scratches left by the stone are more shallow and uniform when compared to a synthetic stone making them perfect for setting the stage for a final finisher as the scratches are easily removed compared to the scratches from a synthetic stone.
