Tomonagura is just a pice of stone not coming from Mikawa mine, used to make fine slurry to do finishing work on razors.
On knives a very popular tomonagura is Tsushima, they are not so fine but still can be used for razor honing.

Notice how the description in the link says Tomonagura" and not nagura.
Here is what naguras look like
JNS Stones - Asano Naguras - Japanese Natural Stones

Not saying your stone is bad, if Maksim sold it to you then it will work.
So if i bought a set of 3 Nagura stones for honing, would i still need a Tomonagura for the final finish?
Thanks.
