Iyo Sakura Old Japanese Natural Whetstone 伊豫銘砥桜
VAT, import taxes, customs duties, tariffs, and related fees are NOT included in our prices. The shipping company charges you these fees, after shipment.
The stone is formed from crushed Iyoto whetstone that has been mixed with a ceramic binder and then baked. Sakura - 桜 - means Cherry Blossoms. You will like its pale cherry pink stone color.
The cross-sectional shape of the sharpening striation has a round bottom similar to that of a natural grindstone, so it is difficult to chip the blade and the finishing process can be done quickly.
It is a rare product that has been discontinued despite being regretted.
