SOLD Price Drop:Two Okudo Suita, One Ohira Suita, One Shinden Suita for sale

[mattattnet]

I am beginning to sell off my natural stone collection, purchased between 2010 and 2018, as I am winding down my hobbies with Japanese knives and straight razors. I will begin with these four Suita stones.

I will consider best offers, especially for combined sales.

Let me first say I am a poor photographer, a mediocre knife sharpener, even more mediocre polisher, but will try my best to convey the nature of these stones.

These stones were flattened with Atoma plates if needed, edges chamfered, and sealed with lacquer if not done so previous to my purchase. Some surface pits may remain if they did not affect sharpening.

SOLD Okudo Renge Suita, 207 x 75 x 72mm, 2760 gm Asking $1200 including CONUS shipping SOLD

Purchased from a Japanese seller sometime in 2016. Sold to me as a level 4 stone, and that seems about right. It is fine grained, I do not find the lines toxic or problematic. Renge are noted more on one side of the stone than the other as seen in the pictures. I think it gives good tactile feedback while sharpening. It develops a nice contrast to the cladding. I have used it with slurry developed with suita tomos or a diamond plate. It seems a bit scratchy if not started with a slurry. The shape of the stone is well shown in the pictures, I believe. It should last quite some time.

SOLD Okudo Renge Shiro Suita, 203 x 73 x 31mm, 1210 gm, Asking $750 $650 $500 $300 including Continental USA shipping.



This stone was purchased in 2017 from member tgfencer, I believe. He felt it was a bit on the softer side, and I agree. Very nice to work with. We will call it a level 3.5-4.0 stone. I have used with and without a starter slurry, I like it better with a suita tomo slurry. Nice contrast develops to the cladding. Toothy edge to knives. More renge are noted in the bottom half of the stone, so more may become visible with stone use.

SOLD Ohira Suita Ao Renge, 152 x 82 x 42 mm, 1370 gm. Asking $700 to include shipping to Continental USA. SOLD

This stone was purchased, also in 2017 from member tgfencer, I believe. A harder stone that takes more time and maybe finesse, but with a tomo slurry, it is a stone most can work with, especially if I can. A lighter touch helps me to get good contrast to the cladding. A smaller length stone, but still plenty of room to sharpen and polish knives.

SOLD Shinden Hon Sunashi Suita, 207 x 78 x 40, 1660 gm. Asking $1200 $900 $700 $500 including Continental USA shipping.

This stone was purchased from Keith Johnson in 2016. A large, clean Hon Suita without Su. Hardness is 4-4.5, but I still find it a good Suita, even for me.

I use it again with a starter slurry from a Suita Tomo, and do not let it get too dry. Good contrast with the cladding can develop. Knife edge is very keen after using this stone, and I have also used it before a Kiita when honing razors.
