青入 I don't know how to pronounce it(ao-iri?), but translated literally, it means it contains blue steel. This notation is commonly seen in Tosa knives. 関時宗作 Seki Tokimune saku

越前屋(Echizen-ya)

We really like to piss off Italians.

関住唯知郎作 It means Ichiro(唯知郎), who lives(住) in Seki(関), made it(作). Is it a Hattori knife?

Place the pizza in the pan, add a teaspoon of water to the pan, making sure it doesn't touch the pizza. Cover and cook for 1 to 3 minutes.

I have never used SG in Japan because they are too expensive(SP2k $28, SG2k $85, NP3k $70). According to Shapton, the recently released Rockstar, is basically the same as the SG. It is twice as thick and less than 1/2 the price.

Both stones will give you a biting edge. Ouka is even softer and creamier than SP. It's more fun to try different types of stones, so let's go with ouka!

I have seen many people who, after trying many grinding stones such as 3000, 5000, 6000, 8000, 12000, etc., end up using only up to 3000.Given that you have a lot of stainless steel knives and that the SP1000 is really more like #700, it is probably wise to stick with #3000 or lower grinding...
