Ohira Awasedo Japanese Natural Sharpening Stone OHA105 Yoshida 7 mm Width of SpineOhira Awasedo is from the same mine as the famouse Ohira Suita. Traditionally most Ohira Awasedo stones are quite dark, these ones that we hand selected are very nice in colour, large and even. Great finishing stone for kitchen knives and tools. Hardness: 4 Measurements (approx.): 207mm * 73mm * 29mm 1. 1KG Knives and Stones does't often offer Japanese natural stones.
