Thread: New Hone Uchigurmori

Here is my NAKAYAMA UCHIGUMORI SUITA. Very good finisher. One photo shows the stone, which is a little wet. Another photo is a close-up, supposed to show su, tiny holes, which make cutting fast even at a very high grit.
I admire jnats greatly, stopped using other stones.

Yea I am sold also..It is a one stop shop for me...My razors shave as close as my DE s now.

Sorry, Sonny082, I had the good intentions this weekdend but the pic taking didn't pan out. I need to make better photos, so you can see the grain.

Uchigumori is generally not used for razors but more commonly used for polishing swords etc.
That's the beauty of nature tho, each stone is an individual.

Nice to know someone knows a bit about polishing...I've got some around from those days & haven't even considered using it on straights, however have considered them as a slurry stone to see...the experiments never end do they...

I sharpened the razor with the uchi and then finished on a keen hone and a fine edge velvet touch hone....Seems to work well...
