Beautiful rare double sided stone, karasu on one side and suita with some red/purple renge on the other side. The stone is not very hard (4/5) and very usable for both sharpening and polishing. The lines are not toxic. Purchased 2 years ago from @musicman980 , original post here. Size 210 mm x...

When this stone appeared on the 1stone.fr website, I just had to buy it, only because it is so beautiful and I consider it cultural heritage. I did not yet know if I could really use it.

I have this knife in 210 version, description is spot on!

Thanks for your thorough precisions! I don't own the SG16000 so I can't speak of my own experience, I mainly wanted to point out that there are other uses for sharpening stones than just knives and swords. Personally I go no higher than a 1000 or 2000 grit synthetic stone and then finish on a...

You should have tried it in the shop while you were there 🤣

16000 grit and up is meant for razors.

The stamp is faded, must be Wustof or Zwilling, sharpened for years with a pull-through sharpener.
