Never thought I'd sell this one, and don't really want to, but I have to replace some stolen tools, so here goes nothing. Up for sale is one enormous Japanese natural stone. Set into a box carved from two solid pieces of what I believe to be mulberry, the stone is lacquered on its sides. The stone's mine is unknown to me, but in use, it reminds me of an Ozuku asagi I have. That's merely a guess on my part, though. The stone is very hard, and definitely not for beginners. The few small cracks are unnoticeable in use. It benefits from a bit of a slurry raised by a fine diamond plate, and with that slurry started yields a lovely, bright polish, with a mirrored hagane and a defined, matte jigane. It's not a fast stone, but I've found it to be a good finisher, especially for tools. I suspect it would be an awesome stone for razors, too. It was definitely the most obviously impressive piece of my collection. Also, the sharpening smell reminds me of mezcal, so that's pretty cool.
Now the important part...
