Japanese Natural Whetstone: Mikawa Shiro Nagura "Mejiro" (128g)

This is a Japanese Natural Whetstone known as Mikawa Shiro Nagura, specifically the "Mejiro" (目白) grade, weighing 128 grams. Nagura stones are traditionally used to create a slurry on a main sharpening stone, which enhances the polishing and refining process for fine edges. Hailing from the Mikawa region, a historically famous area for high-quality sharpening stones in Japan, this "Shiro" (White) Nagura is prized for its fine and consistent particles. The Mejiro grade is a high-quality classification, indicating it produces a very fine slurry suitable for the final stages of sharpening and imparting an exceptionally keen, polished edge on high-carbon steel blades, such as those used in traditional Japanese knives and razors. It is an essential tool for enthusiasts seeking the highest level of sharpness and polish through traditional whetstone methods.
