Nearing the end of my Japanese stone sell off. I am leaving the Japanese knife and straight razor hobby.

These are two Shobudani razor honing full size stones, both are LV 5 stones. They can be used as the base stone for honing a razor via tomo nagura progression. The previous owner of the Mizu Asagi stone also used the stone for single bevel knife sharpening, I believe.

Each comes with two tomo nagura (one super hard Oozuku asagi and one hard Nakayama asagi) to be used as the final stage in razor honing.

The stones are sealed with lacquer on their sides and bottom, as are the tomo stones.

SOLD Shobudani Mizu Asagi, LV5, 195 x 70 x 23 mm, 730gm, tomo combined weight 300gm, Asking $400 $275, Continental USA shipping included

I purchased this stone from a friend / collector in Saudi Arabia. It works well with all tomo progressions, and if you take the time to raise a slurry with the superhard Oozuku tomo, you can develop a very sharp but smooth edge on both Western and Japanese razors. The Nakayama tomo slurry can be broken down nicely for a final razor edge as well.

It has great feedback about the state of the tomo slurry and edge contact with the stone.

SOLD 2) Shobudani Asagi Tamamoku LV5, 197 x 70 x 32mm, 1180gm, combined tomo weight 280gm, asking $425 $350 $250 including Continental USA shipping.

Main stone purchased from Aframes Tokyo in 2016. Very clean and pure stone. It has amazing feedback when honing and sharpening. I have only used it for razor sharpening with tomo progressions, and ending with either of the two accompanying tomo slurries can give you an amazing razor edge.

The stone is extremely flat and holds that flatness well without needing frequent truing.
