Photos are current. This Ohira Tomae is one of the most popular natural finishing stones on our site. We get these stones from the Imanishi stone company in Kyoto and Mr. Imanishi evaluates these stones and grades them before putting his stamp on them. This stone is fine with an approximate grit rating of about 8-10K. This one will last a long time and is very thick. Cuts fast and has a nice hard feel to it. Leaves a great finish. Size is 205mm x 77mm x 43mm. Mr. Imanishi grades this stone as High Quality and it was mined in the early 1970s. It's been in his basement ever since. Each stone weighs about 2 pounds, 12 oz.

This was the first natural stone I ever got. I have two now. It quite fine and fast for its level of refinement. It leaves a refined edge with some nice bite and polishes, too. I have a bunch of other stones at this point, but still reach for this one often. I also think this is an uncommonly good value in the world of Japanese natural stones.

  First Jnat and am extremely pleased, July 19, 2022

I have wanted to get into Jnats for quite a while. I finally took the plunge and glad I did. This particular stone is a finishing stone. Preliminary work on synthetic stones should set the bevel and proceed up to 5-6K.

This stone is smooth, does not load up, gives great feedback and can refine the edge to 8-10K. What is remarkable to me, it that while it gives a mirror finish, it still leaves a nice toothiness to the knife. I loves how my knives respond to this stone an recommend it whole heartedly.

This is my first JNAT. It's a fantastic stone and I was pleasantly surprised. It's buttery smooth yet hard, very fast, and has a lot of reach. I'll be going straight to the Ohira Tomae from a Naniwa Pro 1000. I have no doubt it'll be a fantastic finisher for years to come.

I have no chance to try it yet but one look at it I know and can feel that it's an excellent stone. Much better than all the stone sthat I have. The best part of it is that the shipping is very fast. I got it in less than a week! So no chance to try since it arrived earlier than expected. Once used I'll give more comments.

This is a great finishing stone for both single bevel and hard steel double bevel knives. My stone gave me around 10k grit, taking Kitayama as an
