SOLD Soft, muddy “iromono”

[ethompson]

Another catch and release because I’ve got different stuff coming in for a different project. Second stone of this type ive come across. Just oozes mud instantly (below picture is after maybe 15 seconds). Very soft and easy to use. Finish is about 3-4k but can refine further with a light touch and plenty of water. Easily erases 2k or even clean 1k synth scratches leaving a great base for further polishing. Working finish kasumi cheat code. Also comes with a very nifty well crafted box / base.

It would have been 50mm thick, I would have jumped on it ! GLWS !

Reminds me of a certain flavor of Narutaki Iromono.

Probably should’ve uploaded the polish demo… definitely capable of a more even finish, this knife needs to go back to coarser synths for some scratch removal really

Hey do you know where it is from?

Hey do you know where it is from?

I don't, which means it will forever be unknown. As @DanielC astutely observed it is very reminiscent of a very soft Narutaki iromono I've had. But it also reminds me of a Otawayama I've used and some descriptions of Oguyama and Inariyama iromono I've found, so, who knows!

Dang thats ridiculously priced for the type of knife finisher that every beginner should start with!

Macro shot of polish off this one.

In all honesty, its a shame that this one is still here! There are people on the hunt after their first JNAT and end up buying something 3 times as expensive, although they have here such a wonderful, easy to use piece which would give them everything they want!

I bought this stone. The seller sent it promptly, packaged it very well. I love the stone, just used it on several knives today. What a great seller, thanks again.
