#124 Ozaki akapin

A very useful bench stone in a modestly price size. Shorter but wide and thick, it is perfect for knives or tools like chisels. This is a sharpenng stone but it is also a polishing stone that can create a variety of polishes on the softest of irons and the hardest of steels. Ultra fine, here again it will not only create keen edges
but also develop polishes that have depth and without visible scratches. With all of the super hard Japanese natural stones out here, this is a refreshing stone to use.

The stone (toishi) has been lapped perfectly flat and the corners and edges beveled unless otherwise noted. All of my stones come with a tested and appropriately sized tomonaguara slurry stone, and a money back guarantee minus the return shipping.
