Japanese Natural Finishing Stones 天然仕上砥石

山助の試用レビュー

中等ぐらいの硬さでとても使いやすい砥石です。砥糞がよく出る、しっかり、はっきり感じさせる砥石です。

滑りやすく、研いでいてとても気持ちいいです。

地金と鋼がしっかり分かれる、地金はぼけて、暗くなります。

※こちらは山助スタッフ個人の使用感に基づく感想です。天然砥石の研ぎ味や仕上がりの感じ方には個人差があります。

Our Experience & Impressions of This Natural Whetstone

This is a medium-hard whetstone that is very easy and comfortable to use. It produces a good amount of slurry, giving you a solid and very noticeable feedback while sharpening.

It has a smooth, slippery feel, making the sharpening process very enjoyable.

It creates a clear distinction between the jigane (soft iron) and the hagane (hard steel). The jigane develops a hazy, darker finish.

These are simply our personal impressions based on our own experience. The feel and performance of natural whetstones can vary from person to person.
