It is ideal for yanagiba ura and other knives that require a high polish and less tooth. Although at our shop, we prefer finishing on the Takenoko 8,000 for most double bevel knives, the Kitayama is our stone of choice for a brighter polish and a finer tooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the nagura stone to raise a fine mud; it will speed up the polishing process.
