I recently heard from Mr. Tsuchida that back in the Showa era, many carpenters favored harder Uchigumori stones as nakato (medium stones) due to their aggressive cutting ability.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI tested this out recently: after establishing the bevel on this watetsu chisel with a Naniwa Hibiki #1000, I jumped straight to this Uchigumori without using any synthetic #2000 or #3000 stones in between. Within just a minute or two, it completely erased all the scratch patterns left by the #1000 grit. The intricate texture of the watetsu jigane emerged with remarkable clarity, leaving the entire bevel with a beautiful kasumi finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stone has no toxic or harmful lines, though there is a single natural “su” that should be avoided during sharpening.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49578144170222,"sku":null,"price":75000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF6415_dd46352c-52ae-4a60-ba06-4c344670711c.jpg?v=1789477202","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/uchikumori-suita-japanese-natural-finishing-stone-1312g","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
