Hey folks,
These are all priced lower than I had intended, hopefully for a quick sale.
A couple have been collated from older sale threads. I will take pics and vids later in the week. Prices include fees but not postage, which is from the UK and costs about 30usd to the US, 20usd to EU, but I get more accurate amounts when needed.

1. Ohira Uchigumori
145 x 54 x 32
$150
Small but pretty. Lots of renge with more coming through. Previous owner had scraped out a line, but I think it's harmless as I've felt nothing yet and has been lapped a few times. Not as soft as some uchi, but as you can see it gets muddy. Dark jigane with great contrast.
2. Yaginoshima Asagi
208 x 77 x 35
$240
Great size. Clean, very smooth feeling. Easy to work up a considerable mud for a stone so fine. I often use after a coarser suita for fine finishing, and gives nice shine to a kasumi. Purchased from Otto who I think has fond memories of this one.
3. Hakka
187 x 62 x 25
$150
I had been expecting this to be softer, and it surprised me to find it a medium hard 3.5 ish stone. Really nice classic hakka contrast on cladding. Has an interesting streaky, sandstone visual quality.
4. Nakayama mizu asagi koppa
195 x 88 x 13 (max)
$110
Hard razor finisher from JNS. Cuts fast. Very fine, leaves ultra polished edges and mirror.
5. Renge Suita
205 x 77 x 26.
$280
A superb suita from an unknown mine. Not the quickest stone, but really clean and once the slurry gets going displays classic suita buttery vibes. The slurry breakdown on this one is really nice too, as she starts at the low to mid side of the finisher spectrum, but slurry refinement means finishes much finer. Unsealed.
