Morihei Hishiboshi 9000 Grit Karasu Whetstone

Morihei Hishiboshi 9000-grit Karasu stone is a hazy, fine finisher made with natural and man-made abrasives, formulated to Morihei's specifications to cut like a natural stone with the consistency of a synthetic. This semi-soft stone has an easygoing feel, great for wide-bevel polishing or narrow double-bevel work; it works well in a progression with other Morihei stones. Aside from creating a nice edge, these create a beautiful contrast between the hard-edge-forming hagane-layer steel and the softer jigane cladding. Like a natural stone, these are best not soaked, although they will not suffer as quickly as a natural stone from soaking. Just soft enough to generate its own mud with sharpening, this stone does not typically require a nagura.
