Bamboo Series

A batch of new Nubatama synthetic waterstones, in limited quantity. Once these are gone, they're gone.

Nubatama Bamboo Series waterstones deliver fast, low-mud cutting with exceptional resistance to dishing, holding a flat, precise bevel through sustained work. Formulated with a harder, lower-porosity matrix than the tactile Ume series, Bamboo stones are splash-and-go—no soaking required—and stay structurally stable even under aggressive, high-speed use.
