Zakuri 270mm Blue #1 Kurouchi Wa-Sujihiki Gesshin Hinoura This is my favorite stone

This is my favorite stone in the 3000-6000 grit range of any stone I have used up to this point

You will notice that the stones are lacquered on all sides but one

Both sides of the top are sharpened

The kurouchi finish on this knife helps prevent rust

Width: 170mm
