I am continuing to sell my Japanese natural stone collection, purchased from 2010 to 2018, as I wind down my use of Japanese knives and various straight razors.
SOLD 1) Uchiguimori-Do Jito, 181 x 62 x 31 mm, 900gm, tomo 50 gm, Asking $850 $650 $500 $300 including Continental USA shipping. Tomo in picture included in sale.
Purchased from Keith Johnson in 2016, sold as a knife finisher or intermediate stone for razor honing. Nice covering of Renge, which lead to a beautiful rose colored slurry on the stone. Similar pattern noted in the accompanying Tomo.
Fine grained, not too fast cutting, great tactile feel in my hands, and leaves a nice contrast to knife cladding. The base is a little wobbly and benefits from being placed on a wet towel when sharpening. It is not full bench stone size, but pretty close, and a very clean stone.
Sides and bottom are sealed with cashew lacquer. The surface was flattened with Atoma plates, but it has been used since the last flattening.
I will pack carefully, as I do all items I sell.
