Japanese Whetstones
Nakayama Maruichi Kamisori Beautiful Iromono Tomae Lv 4+
Wow. A beautiful stone.
Perfect hardness and size for smiling razors or kamisori, Chef Knives and chisels. With experience a straight edge razor could also be honed with x strokes, though why? when there are wider stones available for straight edge razors?
Very rare stone to be a Iromono Nakayama. Even more collectible to be Maruichi. If it was half as thick, where the coloration is much more vivid when it was stamped, it would be worth twice as much, and by time it's that thin, it'll be worth well more than twice as much.
