Selling off a bunch of stones. Prices do not include shipping, I will split the cost with buyer. I’m in Brazil, should be ~$15 for the buyer, using EMS worldwide (tracked/insured). Paypal fee is on me.

EDIT: IMG code is not working for me so I just posted the links. Please PM me for additional pics.


Maruoyama Shiki Uchigumori
US$350
1584g
183 x 67 x 56!

From Watanabe. HS47. Soft and muddy (for a finisher), easy to use. Very nice polisher and leaves a nice toothy edge. Center line is benevolent. Nice shape and size.

Maruoyama Tenjou Uchigumori
US$400
999g
210 x 80 x 26mm

Slightly softer and hazier that the Shiki, with similar edge and finish. Comes with a kiri box (but the top was bent a bit during its last trip).

Maruoyama Tenjou Tomae
US$170
913g
164 x 92 x 25mm (at widest points)

Mounted on a wooden base. Was my first Jnat and I would strongly recommend this to anyone starting out. Slightly softer and hazier than the Tenjou and leaves a slightly darker jigane. Some namazu running through. Delivers kasumi finishes with ease.

Hakka Tomae
US$500
809g
192 x 71 x 29mm

Beautiful Hakka from Morihei. Surface is flawless and dotted with red freckles. Soft stone, delivers uniform kasumi with ease and good contrast. Smells great too. Stamps have been lapped off.

JKI Monzento
US$130
1170g
198 x 49 x 63mm

This stone was featured on Jon’s Jnats livestream (https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=1535s&v=kkUFs2Eg3ak - starting at 10:05). Starts at about 2k grit, feels smooth and creamy for a mid grit Jnat. Beautiful contrast and dark effect on jigane. Very useful stone.

Great stones!
Did you get that Hakka through Hitohira? I had a remarkable service with Hokuto.
What grit level would you say it is? Finisher or more of a pre-finisher to erase the marks left from a medium grit stone?

Can the Monzento be used on the wider side (63mm) or it would chew up too much of the stone to get it flatten?
 
Yes, I got the Hakka through Hitohira. Hokuto was really helpful indeed!

Estimating grit level for Jnats is always tricky, but I would say it starts around 6k. Since it’s muddy, you can refine the mud and get a very uniform, fine finish and use it as your final stone, or either as a bridge for an Ohira Suita, Nakayama, or other finer finisher. Depends on what you are after. The finish is a matte gray jigane and hazy, matte hagane, with good contrast. Very easy to get good results with this guy.

About the Monzento, here’s a pic of the lateral part. You have enough stone here that you can flatten this side and get a nice area, but the part near the bottom seems harder to the touch than the rest of the stone. So I imagine you would have a not so uniform surface here. Honestly, it seems narrow but I have no problem sharpening 240 gyutos here.
