So I picked this stone up almost 5 years ago to use on yanagi and debas, but I ended up preferring the synthetics I use for everything else. My loss is your gain.

Stone is 183mm x 65mm x 22mm and comes in a nice box with a piece of untreated stropping leather on top. Grit range is somewhere between 6k and 10k according to the fellow I originally purchased the stone from.

I'll also throw in some slurry building stones that could double as finger stones.

Paid 160 for it way back when, but asking $95 for it now + shipping of your choice.

(The schmutz on the bottom of the stone is finger nail polish)

Including some additional info.

I'd say the stone is about 3.5 in terms of hardness and is originally from the Shoubudani mine.
