Asano Stamped Botan

Large Botan Nagura

This chunk of Botan is nearly large enough to hone on. It’s a wonderful stone to use for making slurry - the angular shape is very ergonomic. The thickness keeps your fingers and knuckles off the stone too. 

This stone is close to pure white - there are some water-seepage lines showing on top but otherwise the stone is very pure white all around. 

In use, the slurry is fast and a little finer than the average Botan but it’s coarse enough to take steel off at a good rate; the haze on a razor’s bevel is very matte and consistent. 

If you have any questions about this piece of Botan, just shoot me an email here!
