1. Asagi Namazu $190
This one acts similarly to Nakayama and Narutaki that I have used, but technically I cannot give it a pedigree. It has a cloudy surface pattern and namazu, reminiscent of the aforementioned mines. It feels slightly soft, but metal particles tend to coagulate on the surface so it may be harder than it feels. Sealed. 185x68x20
2. Asagi Kan $180
Also a tad harder than medium hard. Nice kan pattern on top, and some stamps on the bottom. A fine stone, unsealed. 187x64x23-25
3. Kiita Koppa $200
Medium to medium hard, will self slurry. This koppa worked fantastically at polishing kiridashi, kanna, and Japanese knives. It gives up slurry, but it is not a super muddy stone so it is still fine. It’s likely very old which is always a charm in my opinion, there’s no saw marks just a natural edge. Beautiful and sealed. 155x103x25
