    Just wanted to add that this hone is now half of my magical combo.

    I hone a razor on 1K / 4K until it passes the TNT, and perhaps 2 pyramids to see if it'll mow down arm hairs.
    Then I do 100 passes on this narutaki stone with slurry, and then 100 passes on the nakayama with slurry.

    This combination seems to do the trick every time on razors with known good steel.
    It has progressed to the point where I am considering selling my big 8*3 coticule.
    Then again, it might come in handy sometime.

    Good to know, Bruno, I'll give it a try when my Nakayama arrives (dang HAD )

    Well, guys, I need your services once again. After reading about how good the Lee Valley stone is supposed to be, I had to order one and it arrived today after 3,5 weeks in transit.
    The one I got is a VERY hard stone - as I tried to illustrate with the last pic. The drops of water didn't sink into the stone at all - even after 15 minutes!

    So, anyway, I attached the pictures and maybe O_S would be kind enough to enlighten me about the meaning of the Kanji on this hone - thanks in advance!

    That my friend is another Narutaki hone. I am sure I have mentioned these stamps in an earlier post, but there seems to be one stamp different.

    六十型 the literal translation for this is model 60. Could be type 60 also but thats pretty much the same meaning.


    Its good to have my language bar back, really makes it easier.

    Aaaah, thanks, O_S - now that i had a nearer look I can see the similarities in the kanji to my other hone - now I know which part means Narutaki

    I take it, the upper left-logo is simply a family-trademark? What about the one on the middle-right, I couldn't find anything about it here on the board.

    The upper left logo says 天然(tennen=natural) at the top, 砥石(toishi=sharpening stone) in the center and 京都特産(Kyoto tokusan = Kyoto special product at the bottom.

    The middle right stamp reads 最高級品 (saikoukyuuhin=high grade product)

    Hope thats a help.

    You're the best, O_S, I'm gonna print that out together with the pictures of the hone so the info doesn't get lost during the years of using it (or after lapping )

    If it is anything like mine, the ink will have soaked pretty deep into the stone.
    If it is reasonably flat to begin with (no dents) then those kanji will be there for a long time.

    Yepp, the ink really is deep. Mine arrived very flat, too (except for a small part) so no need to lap it right now
    I used mine as a base for the chinese 12k yesterday and was very pleased with the results.
