One of our most trusted sources handpicks these stones from the famed Imanishi in Kyoto for us, spending hours testing dozens upon dozens and selecting only the best of the best across a variety of price points. These tennen toishi represent some of the highest quality natural stones you will find on the market.
When combined with the correct steel, using these gems help you understand the beautiful harmony between stones and steel that skilled polishers sometimes have difficulty describing in words. Working on natural stones with well-made knives truly ties the entire subject together. We are proud to provide such wonderful pieces to you!
Because each stone is tested extensively by Komon before being sent to us, we honor their notes and grading system, which we have listed below.
