.... I read claims that the US Pros had a different composition made specifically for the US climate, as opposed to the JDM Shaptons, which were more suited to Japan's climate. I don't think that makes sense at all, so I don't buy into that story.
I have some Shapton Ha No Kuromaku stones. I don't have any US market Pros to compare them to personally. While looking at these, I read claims that the US Pros had a different composition made specifically for the US climate, as opposed to the JDM Shaptons, which were more suited to Japan's climate. I don't think that makes sense at all, so I don't buy into that story.
