This is a rare and historic Japanese natural whetstone from the renowned Nakayama mine: a 1300g Tomae (戶前) layer stone, rated at Lv4.0 hardness with an ultra-fine grit exceeding 10,000. Acquired from a carpenter who cherished it, this ancient piece was once cracked but has been expertly repaired with strong adhesive—the bond is now completely solid and secure.
Despite its history, performance remains outstanding. It is a true Tomae stone that is remarkably user-friendly and easy to handle. Surface patterns and lines do not interfere with sharpening at all, and it works beautifully even without nagura stones. Suitable for beginners yet capable of delivering exceptional results, it produces a thick, misty slurry that yields stunning hazy mirror finishes on blades.
While the prior crack has significantly reduced its collectible value compared to pristine examples, this venerable old Nakayama Tomae seeks a new appreciative owner who values its proven sharpening prowess over perfection.
