Ohira shiro suita
Hardness: 3.8
Speed: 5.0
Fineness: 4.7
Around 1.8kg
A lot of times we get caught up in the beauty of a stone, but it’s important to keep our minds on what’s important and that’s speed and ease of use of the stone.
The fineness of the stone was a little bit harder to rate on this one because it seems to cut out more than it cuts in, so if I wasn’t careful it would look streaky at times.
I would say the feeling of this stone is perfectly in the middle of everything you could possibly want while sharpening, or polishing.
Do you have a stone that does not look so good, but performs incredibly well to the point that you prefer it over better looking stones?
Have you fallen for a good looking stone that didn’t perform as anticipated?
