Howdy peoples! Looking to release this Ohira back out into the world. I bought this 3 or so years back from another member. Can’t recall the level of hardness, and I’m not super experienced with natural stones, but I’m guessing based on some other peeps descriptions regarding performance that it’s in the 3.5 range. This was my first foray into these types of stones, and I was really impressed with ease of use/edge quality. Buuuut... I just don’t sharpen nearly as much as I used to, and this thing is just overkill when I do.
Full disclosure time- I used to keep this stored in hotel pan on a shelf about a foot off the floor under my dedicated work table at the restaurant. I was putting it back one day and it slipped out of my fingers and dropped the 12 inches to the floor. There’s a minor amount of material that was lost from one of the corners. This will be reflected in the price of course.
Specs: 15cm long x 4.5cm wide x 3cm high
If I recall correctly I spent $250-275 originally. Looking to get $175 shipped priority CONUS. International will have to cover their costs. Here’s some pics!
