It was like looking into the window of a mind that had influenced this stone's creation based on generations of knowledge and knowhow to create one of the most amazing synthetic stones I've had the pleasure to use! Yea, that good!! The knife I used in this video is a Takeda 311 mm wa sujihiki - traditional Japanese handle on a long slicer. This knife had many owners.
