OK
Here are some of my Rare stones:
Ozuku Karasu as in picture above
Super hard stone the hardest i have ! I only use it for western razors razors, it is so hard , i ones tryde to make microbevel on Yanagi with it and it chipped the edge very badly, like 2-3 mm chips
Nartuaki Karasu Momiji Suita
Hehe very long name but true, that stone have almost all appearances in it, in the middle layer of the stone there are 20mm very dark layer of Karasu so with time it will be very hard stone, but now it is very good stone for knives. Also line is not toxic or can not be field.
Of coars my Aizu:
These stones are instinct, can not find them anymoreVery hard Aoto like stones, super fast also on some very hard steels.
Ozuku set, Very old Ozukus one medium one is hard, they come from behind Ozuku from Another opening then reguler used in Ozuku stones
Old Takashima Kiita, you cant get them anymore in that sizes or that uniform it is 300 mm x 90mm stone
It is quite hard for Takashima and have very nice black Nashiji, no lines or any inclusions at all and layer very very uniform
My Hakka that i recived like that
Then i glued it up and still use it, works very good !!
