I forgot to write down the manufacturer of these two stones which are quite nice BTW and I wonder if anyone who knows Japanese can help me identify them...

from the box looks like the synth aoto (big muddy blue gray stone) and a kitayama, could be mistaken though.
 
Yep, kanji on the 1st just says 'synthetic blue stone' (aoto).
 
I have both of those myself. The aoto is great for high carbon stainless, gives a very sharp edge that holds up well as a final stone, and the polish is great for harder knives if you let the mud build up. I do have some gritty feeling to it, but that seems to be going away with use.

The Kitayama is very nice for high polish -- very little wear and it works very quickly.
