Ohira uchigumori — hato

€1,100.00

212 × 78 × 34 mm

Use it once on a honyaki and watch the hagane turn into a scratch-free, snow-white surface. On clad blades: a hazy core and clad with great contrast, the clad very bright, even for an uchigumori.

A beautiful, clean, soft uchigumori with white namazu. It works on any blade, and it is so dense that soaking won't change how it performs; water on the surface will — start with more than you think.

Use it once on a honyaki and watch the hagane turn into a scratch-free, snow-white surface. On clad blades: a hazy core and clad with great contrast, the clad very bright, even for an uchigumori.

Notes from use — Dark slurry comes quickly. It feels soft under the blade but fine-grained — imagine polishing on a hard, fine piece of chalk. It doesn't stick, it slides.
