※ Purchased over 40 years ago by my father at a hardware store in Osaka. Used for finishing sharp blades. ☆ Lancet ☆ Used for finishing sharp blades like a scalpel. After that, it was used for finishing carpenter's tools such as chisels, planes, and kitchen knives (yanagiba). ♤ Natural Whetstone Atago Mine Suita (Awasedo) There are some markings and what appear to be characters carved in places. ♤ I couldn't investigate in detail, but it's incredibly easy to use? The sharpening surface finishes beautifully, as if it clings to the blade. ♤ Size: 20.5cm Sharpening surface: 61.3mm x 61.2mm Weight: 1.9Kg. ♤ It was used after using a Natsuya whetstone #2000 on the same site, so the finish is finer and more beautiful than with the Natsuya whetstone. ● Please judge based on the photos. #NaturalWhetstone #Finishing #Umegahata #KyotoKameokaWhetstone #NatsuyaWhetstone #Whetstone #HonzanAwasedo #KitchenKnife #CarpentryTools #Chisel #Plane #AtagoMine #Suita #JapaneseSword #DIY #Maintenance
