Dude! Well done!

 

[valgard]

hmm, green and red with some namazu, very muddy and fast, super easy for polishing... I'll take that.

Ohira renge suita 67mm thick. Might not have the best finish compared to my favorite ohira suita but it has the best and smoothest feedback.

Love that reply!

Great score! I was wondering who bought that stone. I've been looking at it for a while now. It looks like you could cut it into two nice stones but it's massive size makes it something special.

This Oohira beast

Took these king 300 scratches

And with no bridging stones did this

Yes there are still some scratches but it vastly exceeded what I would have expected from an Uchigumori

Me too was looking at it for 6 months before i pulled the trigger. Was wondering why no one bought it, sure itsnot perfectly cut but it was cheap for its size

That thing was sitting around for ages, glad someone finally snapped it up, was too good of a deal to not capitalize on.

Super clean finish good job

Super clean finish good job

thx, it has a couple streaks left. The bevel is convex on that Tanaka, especially on the right side so it's tricky to get a very even finish at my current level but enough to show what the stone can do. This one is definitely one of my top stones.

I would struggle to get a finish this clean on a complex bevel. Very nice Carlos

Nakayama iromono. Killer. Like rocked straight into my top 5 good.

 

[brooksie967]

Amazing scores boys!

 

[Choppin]

Super nice stones....

Badgertooth, how is the finish from the iromono? That inky slurry looks so good...

Thx Otto! but that's the easier of both sides :wink:. Killer stone that iromono!

It's great, pity we can't directly upload videos but it leaves a super shiny sandblast finish just south of a mirror finish
