Thread: Shoubudani type 100

Maksim runs JNS right? Those are the stones I'm checking out since I have little knowledge and could easily be swindled I'm buying from a reputable source. As for details there aren't many if you check the site for the specific stone but other stones are more clearly defined. That is why I asked on here vs a google search. Thanks for the tips so far guys and please keep them coming. I may hold out for a koppa instead. I understand naturals are all different but I'm just looking for a ballpark. I have never heard anyone say "I bought a labeled Escher and it turned out to be 325 grit." Just round about answers are good for me. How does the hardness affect edge quality? Will a 4.5 give the same edge as say a 5+?
