The Ozuku Asagi is a Japanese natural finishing stone (awasedo) quarried from the Ozuku mine in Kyoto, one of the most respected sources for natural sharpening stones. This full-size stone is sourced directly from Mr. Imanishi and carries three distinct stamps on its surface, marks used to identify and grade natural stones from this mine.
The stone finishes in the 15,000 to 20,000 grit range, producing an exceptionally fine, near mirror edge suited to straight razors, high-end kitchen knives, and other precision tools where the final polish matters as much as the edge itself.
Every Ozuku Asagi we carry is a unique, one of a kind natural stone. The photos, weight, and dimensions listed on this page are updated each time a new stone comes in, so what you see here is the actual stone you will receive, not a stock photo or a representative sample.
Care Instructions: Wet the surface before use, do not soak. Natural stones are porous and extended soaking can cause cracking. Allow to air dry naturally after each session. Store indoors in a temperature-controlled environment at all times, never where temperatures drop below freezing, as moisture inside the stone can expand and cause permanent damage. Handle with care; natural stones are brittle and can chip or crack if dropped.
