Notes
- Ken considered 8000 the entry point for shaving edges, which puts this a clear step beyond.
- Nubatama ran from 24 grit to 15,000 across roughly forty stones. This sits near the top.

Condition
- Stone: New and unused.
- Packaging: While our inventory is new, the original packaging may show minor shelf wear, scuffing, or external softening due to warehouse storage and handling over the last five years. Internal protective wrapping (plastic or paper) may show signs of handling, minor tears, or may occasionally be absent—this never affects the condition of the stone itself.
