Description
Sharpening Stone – Amakusa Natural Red 800
Amakusa stones are extracted from a mine in the Kumamoto prefecture, in Japan. Since It is a natural stone, it is not recommended to soak it before use. A light dampening is enough. Because of its stripes, the red Amakusa stone is also known as ”tora-to”, which means red tiger. Please note that the patterns will vary from one stone to another, because it comes directly from a quarry.
