Stone Number:1
Quantity:
Choose your stone from the numbered photos. Each hone will include a matching Suita or Karasu slurry stone (not pictured).
These are koppa, or smaller, often irregularly shaped stones which are great for razors. Recently mined from the famous Nakayama mountain in Kyoto, Japan, these are all stones which are on the harder end of the spectrum and intended for finishing razors and other fine instruments or tools.
The mountain’s mines had been closed for years, but this supplier has re-started mining with the permission from the mountain owner and has found good quality stones.
Guide to stone stamps: Black characters say "Nakayama Awaseto". Green stamp is the stone supplier’s emblem. The black marking is the stamp of Kyoto natural stone association.
