Ume Series

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

Nubatama Ume Series waterstones deliver maximum tactile feedback and smooth bevel control across traditional cutlery and woodworking tools. Formulated with a softer, higher-porosity matrix than the fast-cutting Bamboo series and available in specialized binder hardnesses (Standard, Hard, Extra Hard), Ume stones produce a rich, cushioned slurry with a brief soak.  Ken Schwartz on the Ume/Bamboo distinction →

This Nubatama collection comes from the acquisition connected to Ken Schwartz's collection (see Provenance).
