There is something special about sharpening knives or tools on a natural, mined stone. Whilst this has not been definitively proven, natural whetstones have varying grit levels, which is said to cause tiny variations to the sharpened edge which results in different wear rates and longer edge retention.
These Akamatsu stones are very coarse and will remove metal quickly - grit estimated as #200 - #600.
Please note - the photograph is of one example of this stone, so while they will always be similar, there will be differences from stone to stone.
