For Sale I have a set of Full Sized Stamped Asano Nagura. All are collector grade and have excellent tactile feedback. Aside from some very special suita I own, these have to be some of the fastest stones I have encountered. NONE of the lines or colors that you see on the nagura are toxic and...

Hopefully I am coming down the finish line to what I will be posting for sale. Here is a Hakka Kan (Tree Ring) (7.75 x 2.75 x 1.5") (Lv 2.5). This is an exceptionally rare stone because of its appearance. It is very soft and easy for beginners to use, and does a great job on honyaki...

So, it finally happened. I will shed tears to see this knife go, but I am still on the list for a Devin and hopefully when my turn comes around I will have the funds to get it. For your consideration- 240mm Devin Thomas Damascus- Asking $1400 Shipped (Conus) all others pay shipping. There...

Hi All, I have had a few more unexpected expenses, so it is with heavy heart that I continue posting some of my stone collection for sale. Up Next: Full reviews of both of these Aoto can be found on the following linked thread. These are both awesome specimens please see this thread...

Hi All, This is my final stone listing. All of my stones that are currently up for sale I would like to keep, but I have recently found myself short on funds with several projects, both knife related and life related, coming due very soon (hence the reason for all the quick price reductions)...

For sale is a full sized Okudo Asagi. I am sorry for the lack of photos, but my account is having problems with them for some reason. I tested this stone when it came in and it is excellent without any inclusions, and has a urushi sealant around the sides. The stone is otherwise unused and...

Although not knife related, I thought this may be close enough to post here. For all you straight razor lovers. Here is a NOS Filarmonica Doble Temple #13. I bought it about a year ago, and it was a little dirty, but otherwise unused so I cleaned it up, honed it a little, and put it away. I...

Hi All, For Sale: 210mm Marko Tsourkan in A2. I have used this knife about 6 times since I got it. It is a great blade, but a bit short for me as I am used to knives running a bit long for a given size. Below is a pic by Marko (hope he does not mind)- It is the top knife in post #185...

Hi All, Weeding out my stone tray a little bit... NOTE: ALL PRICES ARE WITHOUT PAYPAL FEE, AND I WILL COVER MOST OF THE STONES SHIPPING TO CONUS ONLY (EXCEPTIONS WHERE NOTED). I believe all the pics are self explanatory (albeit bad quality), but if you have any questions or need further...

Hi All, Up for sale is my 210 Itinomon stainless clad with V-2 Carbon Core. This also has an upgraded Octagonal Burned Chestnut Handle. I've had this knife for about 1 month and have used it about 12 times to cut veggies, and sharpened it once. I have a bias on the back side of the knife so...

Hi All, I have decided to sell my Yoshikane that I got from Maxim at his gathering last year. This is NIB, never used or sharpened. I do not have time to take pics, but it is in perfect condition. For all necessary information please see the link below...

Tsushima Nagura purchased from Maxim at JNS. Approximate size 210mm 75mm 50mm, with an approximate grit of 5-8k. This is an excellent stone, very easy to use and very fast, with absolutely NO inclusions. I usually use this stone after a the JNS 1k or after an Aoto. Stone is lapped and ready to...

Hi All, I wanted to see if there was any interest in a Zensho 210mm Blue Steel Wa Gyuto. It has been thinned, but the finish is in good condition. If there is any real interest I will post pics. Asking Price: $185 including Paypal Fees and Shipping (CONUS)

Here is a 210mm Gesshin Heiji. I bought this in late January, and have since used it about 4 times to prep veggies for my family. So, basically the knife is brand new. You will notice that the bevel does not have an even finish toward the tip of the knife. This is because I tried a new finishing...

Ok Everyone, I am still weeding out my J-nat collection. Here is the second round of J-nats. I decided to put it in a new thread as the other thread was getting a little confusing with my price drops and the things that had already sold. So, mods can delete the old one if necessary. I did...

So, I did a search and could not find a consolidated thread on the subject, so I thought I would start one...but then again, I am blind so if there is already a thread then please forgive me. So what prompted this you might say: In the past few weeks, I have had a few people send me J-nat...

I have been collecting and using natural sharpening stones for the better part of 4 years. In that time I have amassed enough stones to last a family of blade smiths a lifetime. Some of these have not even seen the light of day in over a year, so I have decided to begin liquidating. I will begin...

I have looked, but I can't seem to find a BST sub forum. Do we have one? If not, how do we buy, sell, or trade with others? Thanks in advance!! Chris

I decided to hold off on the synthetic stone reviews in lieu of a few reviews I consider to be more interesting. I have also been persuaded to post where I purchase each stone. This allows those who may be new to J-nats or sharpening in general to have a reference for the product quality of...

Disclaimers: I usually prefer not to post much as I feel that I learn more by listening to more experienced persons. However, in response to a request from a good friend, I am going to start a small series of reviews covering both stones (synthetic and natural) and knives. Keeping that in mind...
