This is a premium Ohira colored finishing stone acquired from a trusted domestic collector in Japan.

It features a warm yellow base beautifully accented with soft pink patterns, creating an elegant and visually striking appearance that is highly characteristic of high-quality Ohira stones. The balance of color and texture gives this piece a refined, almost artistic presence.

The stone is on the softer side, offering excellent abrasive release and very responsive slurry development. It delivers a smooth, forgiving sharpening experience while maintaining excellent control, making it suitable for both experienced users and those looking to elevate their finishing stage.

The finish is a rich, smooth kasumi with a natural and attractive contrast between jigane and hagane. It produces an edge that combines a refined, silky feel with a precise and satisfying bite—ideal for high-end Japanese kitchen knives.

Patterns and color variations seen on the surface are natural characteristics of Ohira stones and do not affect performance. On the contrary, they reflect the unique identity of the stone and enhance its appeal as both a practical tool and a collectible piece.

A highly versatile finishing stone, well suited for kitchen knives, straight razors, and fine woodworking tools.

A beautiful and reliable Ohira stone that offers both performance and aesthetic value—an excellent addition to any serious sharpening setup.

Please note that these are not for beginner sharpeners since they're harder to use. These are natural stones meaning that every single one of them are different so my measured sizes are not accurate. This is a lifetime investment for people who live sharpening their knives and tools, do not hesitate to ask me your questions.”
