Hideri-Yama is one of Kyoto mine. It is located on little far north east from other Kyoto mines. It is normally used for chisel and Japanese plane finishing sharpening. It is kind of soft whetstone, and it is entry class of the fine grit whetstone. This stone could be great jigane finish for kasumi or Damascus knife, if the blade sets the bevel.
