I've drooled over so many of the stones at JNS during the last few months.....it's just not funny.

specifically screaming my name of late are the Shoubudani Asagi and the Ozuku Kan as additional finishing stones for my razors. so beautiful!

my current arsenal of stones:
Okudo Shiro Suita Koppa
Nakayama Maruka Kiita
Nakayama Kiita Kan
Takeshima Karasu
Ozuku Asagi

with a Tomo Nagura for each, as well as Asano Nagura progression stones:Botan, Tenjou, Mejiro & Koma

Now that my interest in kitchen knives has been established I plan on holding off a bit longer still, and possibly get a softer stone to work with both knives and razors.

... and the rabbit hole grows ever deeper!

you will be able to find some preoplishers for razors that are finishers for knives. Best way is to split the collection.

BTW, your JNat Wiki was EXTREMELY helpful for a beginner!! Kudos!

you can host on a website such as tinypic or photobucket and paste the image urls in your post.

my thoughts exactly! once I get my bearings a bit more with knives I'll be doing just that - tho I may still have to pick up that Ozuku Kan -that ring grain is just gorgeous! and those Ohira Range Suitas... oh my!

of course I can always pick up a coarser synthetic and switch to polishing on the naturals (both razors and knives - although the nagura progressions are just so fascinating). I keep telling myself "patience grasshopper" - but I've got a hardcore case of OCD to overcome here lol

re: using a photo hosting site - I just may do that! I'll devote some time over the weekend to figuring it out thanks!

The truth is you can never have too many naturals, unfortunately most of us, I believe, also can use more money too

HA!! well, it's all fiat currency anyhow and tho JNats may not be gold or silver, they do a much better job putting an edge on things than bullion does - AND the value only seems to be rising.

how's that for rationale? yep I'm hooked!

 

[mainaman]

I just realized I have posted only s few of my stones so here a few pics of some of the rest:

Red/Green/Blue aoto in order of fineness, the blue Aoto is the hardest I have seen barely makes any mud, super fine for Aoto.

Wakasa- razor finisher but also not scratchy on soft iron. Has beautiful colors Asagi-Kiita mix.

#24 Atagoyama kiita

Aizu

Hakka

Nkayama

Ohira Renge Suita -makes the coolest pink slurry ever, has a lot of renge

 

[Joshua1970]

:ubersexy:

all of them... tho I must say the Ohira Renge is just incredibly gorgeous, and I love the Hakka lines and the Nakayama coloration

SWEET!!!

Again, I'll be sure to post some pics over the weekend

 

[DwarvenChef]

I can't wait till I get out of this terminal broke period in my life, I really need a few more stones for my razors...

 

[bathonuk]

At least I can join the J-nat club. These are my first stones and I hope not last. White Binsui and Red Aoto drom JNS. Can't wait to use them. Thanks Maxim

where is the PICTURES ?? :hungry:

 

[schanop]

This Ohira satisfied my craving for type 24 finisher. A quick test after it landed this morning says that this is a keeper.

 

[dmccurtis]

Damn.

 

[cwrightthruya]

That is Awesome!!!!! Hopefully soon I will have its sibling
I hope you get a lifetime of great use out of it.

 

[schanop]

The one waiting for you, Chris, looks very very clean. Even seems to be cleaner than the one I just got.

I must say my type 24 craze started after getting Aizu from you.

Type 24's are insanely addictive...I'm not sure what it is that is sooo alluring about them. But, I'm glad I could contribute to a fellow Knut and stone fanatic!!!!

This beauty just arrived today. My poor photography skills don't even begin to do it justice. Can't wait to try it out, but first I need to seal it.
