Japanese Natural Whetstone Saeki Black *Chunk* #1000+ / 2465g Kyoto *Free Shipping*




Description

Please check the photos. This is the Shohonyama Tanba Saeki-to Black, a natural whetstone from Kyoto, soft but dense, approx. grit #1000+ for the middle process.  Absorption of water is relatively fast, with scratches appearing at the #1000 level, but with a distinctive glossy finish. Saeki used to mine before Aoto mined, this one is a very old stock at our supplier's warehouse, seems to have been stored for a generation, so can be said to be vintage. The Saeki Black that I previously offered produced a slurry reminiscent of a fine cosmetic serum — exceptionally smooth and refined in texture. In contrast, this stone generates a denser slurry more akin to a high-quality Aoto (blue stone), with a tighter, more structured mud consistency. It provides a pleasant sense of blade glide across the surface, offering excellent control and feedback during sharpening.

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 tools, do not hesitate to ask me your questions.”
