Putting this up quick so i dont forget, busy day lol. I'll shoot some scratch pattern pics later. Great stone, very very fast, a bit finer than something like maruoyama shiro suita but definitely in that same range. Feedback is chalky and firm, gets super smooth when mud builds up, very...

lolol honestly most of the guys grinding the garbage in japan deserve to go out of business. It's pretty crazy to see the sort of impact kaiju ground knives have had on people since their release. I get it though, nothing comes close if you appreciate attention to detail. I'm actually working...

You cant imitate the most perfectly ground gyuto for full bevel polish with a few measurements lol

Not necessarily better, it changes how the stone will interact with the knife, here's an example; One of the things I like to do is put 80 grit diamond scratches on a naniwa super 3k and rinse+ rub all the mud off with running water, leave a good pool of fresh water on the face, then use it to...

all of my naturals get this treatment Synthetics can benefit from coarse flattening stones because deep grooves left by something like a new 140 on the surface of the synth can significantly change how it'll interact with the knife but that's something you gotta experiment with to really get it.

I have a neat one from bazes, very nice hammered finish with a hammered ura. Pretty unique piece for 350. let me know if you're interested

Bump, still got stuff i'd be happy to throw generous discounts on. Need to fund additional poor financial decisions.

Glws you gona need it 😬

Id be happy to clean that one up lol. Pics are on you though, im terrible at documenting my work and camera skills are also severely lacking lol.

I don't wana dogpile but man you really gotta respect the dibs even if you lose a little dosh sometimes. Couple hundy not worth your integrity.

Forgot I took this pic lol. Lefty went to Eric, got another one coming. I'm a slut for ohira shiro suita

Best thing to do with cool stamps is lapping them off

One of the crazier ones I've had the pleasure of fondling. Damn nice stone man.

Honyama means "Honma's mountain" in his honor for discovering shobuyama as a source of natural whetstones, rmore about the history here. https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/j-nat-club.6921/post-1008633

Oh mine is also most definitely finer, it just leaves a more coarse appearing scratch pattern on iron. Soft kyoto stones that cut like that are typically rare gems, maruo being the exception. The scratch depth is shallow but the wide streaks are indicative of abrasive clusters cutting wider...

They can be pretty coarse haha. Mine leaves a finish retty similar to aizu on iron but it fogs up core steel beautifully. Fantastic stone, i actually prefer coarser ones cause they make my progression work faster.

Of your 4 midgrits, sell the 3 you like the least and buy a maruoyama shiro suita. Perfect for erasing midgrit scratches and fine enough to jump right to a finisher. You'll save both time and money this way. People way overestimate how many stones they need for decent work on clad knives. You...

Aizu, tajima, numata and natsuya will roughly do the same thing; erasing synthetic scratches to facilitate a transition to natural stones. You need to think less in terms of grit numbers with jnats and more in terms of what will erase scratches from the previous stone while allowing you to...

220x80x60 suita for scale. Gotta buy myself a big ol saw to carve it up but im lazy lol. These things arent typically that clean anyways so im being lazy.

Ive got a big raw slab of this stuff, let me get a pic
