Nakayama natural stone

Nakayama natural stone with renge

A medium-hard to hard Nakayama natural stone with clear renge and a creamy, controlled feel when sharpening. It gives a medium-gloss kasumi and works very well as a finishing stone for kitchen knives.

The finish will be a silky matte on blades with an iron cladding, with high contrast between jigane and hagane. The stone is well suited for both kasumi polishing and as a final step to refine the edge after synthetic stones.

Nakayama stones are quarried in the mountains north of Kyoto and are among the most sought-after Japanese natural stones. Each stone is unique in structure, hardness, and sharpening feel.
