Fourth stone to go from my collection.

Flawless shobudani Karasu that I will be sad to see leave my collection.

Dense, heavy and large, this will be an heirloom stone for you to pass onto your grandsons one day. Measures 20.5 x 8 x 4 (CM)

Gorgeous karasu pattern - see the detail pics below. More will most likely be revealed as you lap the stone down.

In terms of finish - gives a true mirror finish with atoma slurry. Not as hard as the asagi that I have up for sale, but still pretty hard. Contrast for days. If you're into that look, look no further. This is a once-in-a-lifetime kinda buy!

DM for inquiries & finish pics.

Letting this one go at 1550 1450 1350 1250 950 USD.

Ships from HK via HK post. I'll cover the first 25USD for shipping. Buyer will cover the rest.

Fifth stone up for grabs:

The crown jewel of my collection. A flawless Nakayama Kiita with kawa on the back. You can still see a faded maruka stamp on the stone.

Measures 20 x 8 x 3 (CM)

The yellowest of yellow stones - even the slurry it generates is yellow. Cuts super, super fast. I cannot stress how fast this stone cuts. Slurry will turn black in the matter of a couple strokes. Slivery, iridescent finish on the cladding. True mirror finish is possible.

The tactile feel takes some getting used to - it's very grabby without slurry, but with a tomo nagura or atoma slurry it becomes slick, almost as if you're gliding across the stone. 3.5/5 on the hardness scale.

Letting this one go at: 1900 USD.

Ships from HK via HK post. I'll cover the first 25USD of any shipping costs.

DM for finish & slurry pics.

Flawless shobudani Karasu Suita that I will be sad to see leave my collection.

Absolutely stunning but I'd be questioning whoever told you that is suita.
 
I don’t recommend this seller.

He contacted me agreeing to the purchase of the stone, I paid him immediately as requested by PayPal in HKK, sent him my full address, he said he would ship out the stone asap and everything was settled.

Then the next day he changed his mind saying he wanted to sell to someone else and refuses to send the stone.🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve never experienced something like this before, and feel this is blatant abuse of BST

After a wonderful buying experience with kingdingelling, this just makes me sad. A deal is a deal. And a done deal at that when payment is received.
 
Maybe its just me but both of these cases sound deserving of some:

Singapore Style Justice...


To that end, I request the mods please judiciously extradite this individual to Singapore for investigation into his alleged dubious and calculating catfishing sales to multiple respected forum members.


I assure the Singapore officials will take action QUICKLY and any penalties will be carried out without prejudice.

@alex.szeto1, I have sent you a PM in our conversation requesting immediate refund for my purchase of the stone for which @EricEricEric had already transferred funds. I have no interest in this type of dealing in which I am purchasing something someone else had already paid for.
 
I can not comment on any transactions between Alex and other venerable members of this forum but I am happy to report that my latest transaction with him went smooth and without any issues whatsoever.

Therefore GLWS!
