One of our most trusted sources handpicks these stones from the famed Imanishi in Kyoto for us, spending hours testing dozens and dozens and selecting only the best of the best at a variety of price points. These tennen toishi represent some of the highest quality you will find on the market for natural stones.

These stones are so impressive that they often make you feel like you are "cheating", so to speak - they provide outstanding results at a speed seemingly found only in stones that cost many times more, all while being fun and easy to use - they make it seem as if you have learned years of polishing in a matter of minutes. Combining these gems with the correct steel, you will come to understand the beautiful harmony skilled polishers sometimes have difficulty describing - working on natural stones with well-made knives truly ties the whole subject together.

Because each stone is tested extensively by Komon before they are sent to us, we honor their notes and grading system listed below.

We are proud to provide such wonderful pieces to you!

Interpretation of the Stone: This Ohira Suita was overall a very fine stone with strong cutting speed, making it very easy to transition from a 3K synthetic stone. This Ohira Suita is on the finer side, bringing up detail in iron cladding. Best used with very little water to start the stone and polishing process. Also worked well with a slurry from a a very worn 1500 atoma to make a very fine mud. Tested on Tanaka blue 1 sanmai, Tamahagane and wrought iron with excellent results, good feedback. On white 1 Honyaki, due to the stone's fine texture, honyaki can be a bit challenging, but doable. The edge produced from this stone was very crisp yet fine.
