Hakuto 3

The softest in the Hakuto series, they are the most similar of the Hokuto stones to feeling like soft, muddy natural stones. Like Hakuto 2, they are ideal for creating softer bevel changes and finishing full convex grinds. Given the available grits are only medium to high grit, Hakuto 2 stones are best left for use after initial, coarser work has been completed.

Recommended for advanced users, or for users who prefer the feel of of natural stones that are not as hard as Oboro Knife.

Hakuto 3 grits: 3000, 6000, 10,000

Length: 200mm
Width: 75mm
Height: 26.5mm
Weight: 740g
Grit Range: #12000

Notes: Amakusa tend to have a poor reputation because they are inexpensive and sometimes inconsistent if poor quality (no surprise there). But we have found quality options that are sourced from trustworthy suppliers to be actually quite good, and an awesome option for beginners. Their price and availability are a plus, but they are also efficient and easy to use. They have decent shaping power, and their wear rate is not too extreme. They are slightly tighter and finer than other coarse stones such as Omura or Akamatsu. If you finished off of it, you would have an aggressive toothy edge, or a very hazy Kasumi on bevels. Also good as an earlier stone in a polishing progression.
