I don't want to sell these but they are a bit of a luxury I don't need to hang on to at the moment. I've used them as an excellent two stone combo after setting a bevel on a JNS 1k. I can raise a burr on the Aoto but it can be fairly hard to detect. I will be posting the ads from JNS for now but will post pictures in a bit. Both stones have lost 1 or 2mm of height from the original dimensions on JNS. The Aoto is unsealed and the Hideriyama is sealed with clear nail polish. I've used blue 2/AS/white 2/heiji stainless/Ginsan to great affect on these stones. The AS does take a little bit longer than the rest. These were my first and only jnats that saw real use as they worked very well for me and I felt like I would be wasting a lot of money searching for the next best thing.

Asking $350 shipped and paypalled conus for EACH stone. If someone happens to want both we can do a discount.
 
I can take that Aoto but not now. In late autumn if you would like to wait.
 




Some photo's of the stones, if you look at the belly of the knife you can see a rough view of the polish they leave. This was a quick 3-5 min on each stone. Interestingly the Hideryiama will make blueish mud depending on the steel, Ginsan in particular. Hideryiama is in the stone holder.
