Natural Whetstone, Mt. Atago, Size 30

【Sharpening Stone Organization in Progress】

This stone is stamped with Atago Mine Combined Whetstone, Highest Quality, and Type 30. I purchased it from a cutlery shop a long time ago, but because it was such a large whetstone, I never felt motivated to use it, so I've decided to put it up for sale. It has been very crudely protected. (The red dots are from Bengara lacquer.)

Size: 204 x 77 x 41mm (maximum)

Atago mountain stones tend to be on the softer side and are often considered suitable for kitchen knives, but since I've barely used this one, I can't tell you its hardness. If you'd like to know how it feels to sharpen with, I can try sharpening it with a blade I have on hand if you don't mind the stamps potentially fading (this will take some time).

As this is a natural stone, there are small chips, cracks, and areas where the edges or faces are not perfectly formed. Please understand that this is an imperfect item and purchase only after you are satisfied.

Also, as shown in the later images, there is a worn-out box and label. Please let me know if you would like them, and I will include them.

Please note that all transactions are final: no claims, no returns, and no cancellations.
Please ask any questions you may have.
