Holiday Sale
A full-sized Okudo Ao Renge suita that is clean, hard, fine, and very fast cutting. Edges are toothy yet smooth off the stone, perfect for sharpening high-end tools and knives. Such complete and clean pieces of Okudo suita are very hard to come by these days. The stone itself is also a masterpiece of nature, which makes it a bit sad to let go off, but I've got to make space for the holidays!
Like typical Ao Renge Suitas from Okudo and Ohira, it is a bit on the sulphurous side, making it quite reactive on soft carbon steel cladding. The finish is very pretty, albeit it is much harder to get an even look given the speed at which the soft carbon steel reacts with the stone slurry. On the bright side, there are no issues if used for honyaki polishing though. The price is reflective of this small little quirk.
Dimensions: 198 x 75 x 24mm
Weight: 956g
Asking: 700 USD + shipping
It is sealed in cashew lacquer reinforced with Polyurethane.
