Do you have a picture of the finish it gives?
I do now because we have a 3 day weekend and I took my tool chest home with me.

so hotThis little Yaginoshima suita is the nicest I've ever owned. It's even better than my Ohira suita which used to be a reference for me. The hardness, consistency and finish are all perfect.View attachment 79804

Quite similar
It’s really quite good. Different than a synthetic for sure but I love the edge I get from it.I picked up one of these as well. Also my first j-nat. How do you like yours so far?
Taj, you can't resist the pretty stones. I'm (not at all shocked) that you ask about that pair although the 5th one on the right, if you could see the sides or if wet, is also nice.
Okay, here they are again:
As said these are all coarse or medium stones, akato or nakato. I'm not quite as bothered about finishers as many people are, so most of what I have are like these and practical for knives. L to R: unknown 'Take Tora' naka, flashy Amakusa (bottom) ara, beautiful Natsuya (top) ara, great Numata Hyotan naka, very obscure Haguro ara.
Since we were talking about lacquer, I chose these because you can really see the bit of colour the 'clear' lacquer gives to the Taketora and Haguro, and the wet look it gives on the Amakusa and Natuya, while I used amber lacquer to dress up the white Numata.
Hello, Asteger. Just wondering, is the Haguro still available?
Hi makhonyiu, it's been some time Asteger has not been here at KKF.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for an answer on that one.
@Asteger: come back!
Hey Marcelo, thank you for noticing me.
It is truly a great grief knowing Asteger is no longer active in the forum...
Hopefully he will return soon...
That's Maruichi, not Maruka. Maruichi stones can be from different mines. This stone has some Nakayama-like flare to it but I wouldn't be too sure about the mine.
yeah, the big soft suita was mine at one point. Very clean stone, a little softer than I prefer but it did great on some knives and would give a really nice edge too.Some others I’ve picked up lately. Some of these will have to go.
