First is a hard tenjyou suita. It was sold as uchi but I highly doubt it, 219x81x51, lvl 4-4.5
Cuts fast relative to firmness, the mud from this stone is like softened butter, very smooth feedback. Smooth and slightly glassy when used with just water.
I don't touch apex on the tests, quick and lazy work just to give an idea of scratches and finish

Asking 1600usd

Renge suita with suninagashi patterning coming through, 218x80x66, lvl 3.5

Very smooth stone, slightly firmer than medium, fast and easy to work with, same buttery quality to the mud as the harder stone listed earlier one of the sides has a line bisected in a way that makes it look ugly af so I'm dropping the price a bit. Finish is a bit darker and more contrasty than the stone before

Asking 2.4k SOLD

Another renge suita with suninagashi patterning coming through, 220x80x77 monster, lvl 3-3.5

Textbook ohira suita, superb feedback, mud feels similar to the last stone and the base stone itself has a bit more give. An absolute joy to work with.

Big stone comes with big price tag, 3.2k usd

Shiro suita, 222x80x68, lvl 3

Performance wise I think for knives this is the best one by a small margin. Stupid fast, knife just glides over without resistance. Some ugly lines on one of the sides so I'm dropping price a bit. If this thing was a perfect brick I probably wouldn't sell it, got one stone that cuts similar with better shape so it gets the axe. Great for honyaki too cause of the crazy engagement it gets on steel.

Look very nice and all, but a bit small I think. Don't you have anything bigger?!

Jokes aside, some real crazy looking Ohira in uncommonly huge dimensions. Someone will be happy
Sorry, I only collect fingerstones. If you want anything bigger, you'll have to speak with Ishihara-san I'm sure the mountain doesn't cost that much
 
I know, one big stone is cool, but you need about 300 years to use it up (or just drop it into the kitchen sink).

Is there a basic quality reason to keep such stone this thick?

Mostly i like the aesthetics of the giant stuff. It does get used up faster than you expect though. I've completely worked through 45mm stones before lol.

Bump, still got stuff i'd be happy to throw generous discounts on.
Need to fund additional poor financial decisions.
