Dimensions: 290 x 170 x 35 mm

weight: 2,124 kg !!

Price: 250 USD (incl. shipping in the EU, int. shipping we can talk)

Regards, Iggy

Ok these kind of prices I couldnt find even in Japan for this kind of quality...

that’s a steal for that big chunk of Hideriyama. Underrated stones.

If this one is anything like my Hideriyama the person who buys it will love it.

very tempting at the current exchange rate but I fear it's too early for me...all sharpening experience I have is from using some 2 and 3000 grit sandpaper to get my global to the level where I can slice microtomes coupes of stuff like tomatoes.

I'm not after mirror polished knives, ridicolously sharp will do..

A year ago the only thing I ever used was a coticule and a synthetic stone here and there to sharpen my tools and knives. I jumped right into jnats without ever having used them and I haven't regretted it a moment. Sometimes the best way to learn something new is to just do it. I think you'll find a soft Hideriyama like this one is very easy to use and it's a good introductory stone into jnats.

aaarghhh, now you're making it even harder... kidding, thanks for this info I'll PM Simon (just bought his Honoura few Nakiri days ago and LOVE it)

If I didn't already have one I'd be all over this. It really is a great stone. Shocked it's still here.

 

[MarcelNL]

don't be shocked, just sent him a confirmation I want it. I just picked up a sharpening kit built around that stone, and a small shig gyoto
(man, does that knife feel right)
