Notes: A coarse, but very consistent natural stone. Generally, there is a greater chance for inclusions in coarser stones given how porous they are and how superficial their stratum can be. But Omura are extremely consistent, both in sharpening characteristics and aesthetics. They are fast and extremely easy to use. A great option for those who want to use coarse natural stones without worry of inclusions and at a great price.
Recommended Usage: Minor repairs, thinning, establishing bevels.
