Running out of room for stones so here are a few I'm letting go. Buyer pays shipping and PP fees if there are any.

Kozaki Aoto from MM. $35
200x41x41, 710g. Typical aoto, very muddy, finishes around 3-4k with bite. Ok for kasumi.

Shobudani Tomae $100
Picked this one up from Badger a while back. 197x57x20 hardness is 3.5, 590g with base. This is one of my favorite finishers for blue steel. Will do kasumi with nice contrast.

Tshushima Nagura from JNS $175
Huge stone 212x80x52 2360g. Very nice finisher, can achieve a wicked edge. It is sticky on stainless cladding for kasumi but is doable with practice. No problem with iron cladding and leaves a very even cloudy finish.

Nub bamboo 150 $50
Large stone for repair or thinning 210x80x38. Scratch pattern is very easy to clean up with my SG500. Has some grooves on one side where I used it for tip repair.

Hardness
And grit on tshu?
 
From JNS webpage

"Extra hard Tsushima Nagura !

Very good stone as Aoto specially for Razors and Tools but can also be used for knives.
Tsushima Naguras is very clean stones, so no inclusions or lines you have to worry about.
Also stone comes lacquered on all sides and button and ready to use :)*

Approx. grit is 5 k -8k"



I agree with this assessment, maybe finishes a little higher than 8k if you work it long enough.

Fare thee well little shobou. Great selection and very fair prices. Not surprised these are flying
 
All SOLD. Mods, please close thread. Thanks KKF!
