Ozuku Natural Stone ~10,000 Grit
About This Product
The Ozuku is a very fine, hard natural finishing stone at around ~10,000 grit. Splash and go, then work up a slurry, preferably with a nagura stone, as this stone does not form a slurry quickly.
Mined in Kyoto, Japan, the Ozuku quarry is one of the Higashi-mono, a collection of five quarries famous since ancient times for their sharpening stones. Stones from Ozuku are renowned for their fine grain and exceptional hardness. Because the material varies with depth, individual stones differ, and although most fall within 8,000 to 12,000 grit, the actual grit is best discovered through use.
