This is a medium-grit to coarse-grit whetstone.
It is suitable for rust removal and for agricultural tools such as sickles.
Any surface can be used for sharpening.
As this is a natural stone, there may be hard and soft spots, air bubbles, speckles, or minor chips. Air bubbles are often preferred as they hold the slurry. The stone may rarely crack. We cannot offer compensation for this. Please purchase only if you understand the nature of natural stones.
Stones with distinct and beautiful wood grain patterns are more likely to crack from the darker areas.

[Reference Information]
Amakusa whetstones are mined from the island of Oyanō-chō, Kamiamakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, a place associated with Amakusa Shirō's military funds.
They have long been favored for sharpening knives, carpentry tools, and agricultural tools.
Recently, due to the spread of artificial whetstones and the aging of producers, they have become less common in the market.
We are now delivering them directly from Amakusa to those who can use them.
