A variety of Shiro Nagura from our friends at Komon Japan craft&design “Shironagura” literally means “white correcting stone;”these small stones are used to both clean and condition larger toshi, as well as create a sharpening slurry. These nagura come in different grit equivalents depending on their intended use.
