Hello!

I offer for sale 3 unique Japanes Waterstones from Suehiro Gokumyo line.

The word 極妙  “Gokumyo” : from Japanese can be translated as “very unusual, unique”, in this case referred as “amazing, fascinating”.

The unique patented sintering process of production makes these stones extremely dense. I would say these are the hardest stones on the market (comparing to closest direct competitors such as Naniwa Chosera or Shapton Glass). The uniqueness of these stones is that despite them being hard, they produce a great feedback when working. No other hard stone can offer that.

The stones work with absolutely any steel (including high carbide “monsters”) with minimal to no wear. No need for resurfacing in a normal (non-professional) use.
