WTS JNATS AND NAGURAS

[YG420]

Up first is a nagura benchstone. Its hard and fine, works best with a good soak and a little bit of fine atoma slurry. It can get grabby if your technique aint right, but once you get the hang of it, the stone leaves a very fine and detailed finish. It feels and acts like some hard old school komas I have. The surface looks like koma too. Poured some epoxy to make the base level, did the job but looks ugly. Aprox lvl 5 hardness. Measures 175x58x51. Price is $250 shipped in the US, intl ill cover the first $20.

Next is an Asano stamped koma koppa. I mounted it to an ugly piece of wood, but it can be removed since I used some waterproof silicone. This stone is a bit easier to use than the previous nagura and a little less fine, and is an excellent example of good koma. It doesnt have the black dots on the surface that can scratch your polish like the newer type komas. Works best with a good soak and light atoma slurry. Aprox lvl 4.5 hardness. Measures 150x68x40. Price is $300 shipped in the US, intl ill cover the first $20. SOLD!

The next one is an unknown finisher, very smooth and fine, but not super hard and fine. It has the feel of a good aiwatani to me, but dont know what it is. Ive finished razors on it before and it handles it well. Easy to use and to get a nice polish from. Def punches above its weight. Its a fat lil chunk so it will last a while. Also used epoxy to level out the base on this one. Aprox lvl 4 hardness. Measures 134x84x42. Price is $120 shipped in the US, intl ill cover the first $20. Sold!

Next is a nakayama mariuchi. Ive used this one to hand hone razors on, and last night used it for the first time to test polish and its super easy to use, and super easy to get a great polish off of. If this was a full sized stone it wouldnt leave my house. Would probably be better to mount it to a base if you want to polish with it, but it works so well as a hand hone for razors. Aprox lvl 4 hardness. Measures 135x80x20. Price is $175 shipped in the US, intl ill cover the first $20.

Next is a double sided karasu. Bought as a nakayama, but who knows. Suuuuper fine and a hard stone. Perfect for ura work and micro bevels for yanagibas. Ive also honed razors on this before and they were some of the keenest Ive shaved with. Very hard and fine, but not too hard to where you cant polish on it. Once again, a good soak and some atoma is your friend for polishing. Has some lines, but I cant feel them in use. I use the brownish side which only has a couple of lines. Dont use too much pressure while polishing and you wont get any scratches. I cut off a piece off the end for use as a nagura for honing my razors, love it for that use as well. Aprox lvl 5.5 hardness. Measures 185x78x22. Price is $350 shipped in the US, intl ill cover the first $20.

Last is this super hard nagura. I hated this stone when I first received it. It came severely dished, was really tough to get flat since its so hard, and was scratchy when I tried to polish on it. But that all changed when I soaked the stone for about 30 min and it was like night and day. Still need to use proper technique since its a hard stone, but it polishes up steel very nicely after a soak. Aprox 5.5 lvl hardness. Measures 210x58x22. Price is $150 shipped in the US, intl ill cover the first $20.

Just noticed the first pic cut off the weird angle from the top, the 2nd pic reflects the shape much better.
