Striped Tokkyuu Botan Nagura Koppa
Striped Botan are often harder and faster than the all white variety. This Koppa is hard, but it will slurry easily. It’s also fast, so setting a razor’s bevel on this stone can be done fairly easily.
Note - these stones are not like synthetics; they are notably slower. However – honing a razor with a 100% natural progression is a wonderful experience and these large slabs of Botan are an ideal choice for the early stages.
This stone isn’t rectangular, but the angled sides aren’t difficult to manage. Circles and x-strokes are managed easily. The top is lapped, the edges are chamfered and the sides, stamps and bottom are sealed with 3 coats of Cashew lacquer.
