This piece is classified as \"Iromono\" with a \"Kanmaki\" pattern and \"Namazu\" character, and the supplier rates its hardness as medium-hard (chuko). Weight is 663 g. A natural stone of this class is normally used as a finishing stone for kitchen knives, plane blades, chisels and razors. Because it is a natural stone, the pattern, colour and lines on this piece are unique to it and will not match any other example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike new. The Japanese supplier lists the item as almost unused. The surface shows natural veins, fine lines, colour variation, a red marking and a small dark inclusion along one edge - these are inherent characteristics of the raw stone rather than damage. The stone has not been tested by us.
