Japanese Stone Powders
Just curious if anyone could provide me with any information on these products JAPANESE whetstone powder Iyo left from the 1st KANABAN - eBay (item 190202819276 end time Nov-24-08 21:57:12 PST)
and there use for honing straights. Whilst I am sure that the sellers English is at least a hundred times better than my Japanese, I still think that a lot of the detail has been lost in the translation.
Reading through the descriptions, I thought that the Suita powder would probably be the most useful for speeding up the cutting power of slow stones i.e the Chinese 12k.
The obvious answer is to bite the bullet and order some, and I will probably do that, but I would like to hear from anyone who might be able to further explain their application and associated benefits.
Kind regards,
AlexLast edited by A_S; 10-26-2008 at 09:00 PM.
