The hoard clean out continues... All prices include CONUS shipping, happy to ship elsewhere but lets work out shipping costs in PMs first.

  1. Natsuya (210x78x67, ~2.4kg) $200 $175 - Bright orange and riddled with big black renge. Hard and capable of burnishing to a detailed polish with good slurry management. With a freshly lapped surface is fairly quick.
  2. Natsuya (200x70x55, ~1.8kg) $155 - Little coarser and faster than #1. less excellent at burnishing. Very nice patterning. Missing a chunk on the bottom face. Catch and release for me, I've finally settled on a Natsuya.
  3. Natsuya (195x75x60, ~1.9kg) $155 $125 $75 - Slots somewhere between the #1 and #2, paler in coloration.
  4. Ikarashi (188x70x48, 1260g) $220$185 - Performs very similar to a medium fast, medium hard Aizu. Consistent 4k scratch pattern with good contrast and some detail. Can burnish to a little brighter core if you want. Excellent edges. I think these are a touch easier to use than fine Aizu, but ymmv.
  5. Iyoto (160x70x33, 803g) $65 - 800-1k grit or so
  6. Binsui (212x70x62, ~2.2kg) $75 $55 - hard and 600-ish grit
  7. Omura (220x80x70, ~2.8kg) $95 $70 - coarse and soft, 400ish grit

All polish pics are the same polish off this stone, just in lighting. Shows the burnishing power and the still-there scratch pattern.
