Super easy buttery feeling Aiiwatani stone, self slurrying and easy to use, works well with lots of water and pressure to make a milky even kasumi finish. A great stone for a beginner or for someone who wants a fast pre-finisher for a finer stone. This stone will benefit from a wooden dai as it is on the shallower end. One side is a little taller than the other, price has been adjusted.

Aiiwatani:

A ‘Higashi-Mono’ (Eastern Mine) whetstone that is close in proximity to Takashima and Wakasa, two mines known for their high density stones. Aiiwatani are great shiage-toishi(fine stones) when you are looking for a refined edge. Typically more mellow in cutting action, but this can lead to a cleaner polish.

Asagi:

This aesthetic term refers to the general color of the stone. Typically, Asagi stones are grey, light blue, greyish-blue/green, and tan. They are usually quite clean stones that are on the harder side. However, softer Asagi stones are great for knife polishing.

Goma:

This aesthetic quality looks like tiny black dots, or little sesame seeds in the stone. This quality typically translates to having a fast cutting speed.
