WTS Shoubudani Karasu / Suita

[PineWood]

Beautiful rare double sided stone, karasu on one side and suita with some red/purple renge on the other side. The stone is not very hard (4/5) and very usable for both sharpening and polishing. The lines are not toxic.

I’ve owned many of these Shoubu. They’re awesome knife stones and my go to recommendation (along with Maruo shiro) for a first JNat for kitchen knives. Great for polishing and sharpening
