data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eNakayama is widely known for being the most treasured and desired whetstone mountain in Japan. Nakayama is one of the two original Honyama Mines along with Shobudani. This is an old mined stone with exceptional size which is extremely rare. This extra large Hon Suita is a fast and aggressive cutting stone with amazing feedback and nice hardness. Amazing for razors, knives, tools and swords. A versatile stone in application and range of cutting and refinement capabilities. This Suita has nice hardness but it's not super hard, more so on the easy going end of the spectrum, yet not muddy when honing razors. When finishing razors, the stone has a crisp, live feel with fast and effective cutting speed. When slurry is forced, the speed increases dramatically and medium grit scratches are effectively removed with very little time\/effort. Edges can be pushed to light saber sharpness with proper technique and slurry management. Works best as a standalone finisher with fine Nagura and lots of time and patience to effectively break down the slurry. Perfect for knives in terms of polishing and sharpening and yields amazingly crisp and bitey edges with forced slurry. Quite version terms of polishing and capable of a wide range of refinement which translates to multiple levels of haze\/refinement. Has a less dry feel than many Okudo Suita and more of a smooth sharpening feel. There is a line which runs vertical but it doesn't present any issues currently. If it opens up later on,it can be easily removed and since it runs vertical, it will inherently be less of an inconvenience while honing, sharpening and polishing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffith Shaving Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43060920647774,"sku":"3163","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/2905\/files\/IMG_2566_a515abd7-7b72-4906-abee-a3e423967396.jpg?v=1785206921","url":"https:\/\/www.griffithshavinggoods.com\/products\/nakayama-hon-suita-renge-japanese-natural-finishing-whetstone","provider":"Griffith Shaving Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
