Thanked: 246Maybe do the stropping first for the next photo, lol. I have a Nakayama Maruka Kiita with Nashiji that produces some very outstanding edges also - like yours it isn't ultra hard, but doesn't self slurry either. I find that all of my better JNats produce really nice bullet straight edges, just as well as my Thuris.

Thanked: 246Here are a couple shots of it. A friend of mine traded it to me for one of my Kuro slate "found" stones - he said the stamps were removed when he rounded the sides and edges - he does this to all his stones. More money than sense IMO (he doesn't use computers, no danger of him reading this, lol). I don't really care though anyway, as the stone is so good that I will never ever sell it. Super fast cutter but still gives an amazingly fine and comfortable edge. I normally finish on a very light slurry with this one. One of my very favorite stones. Color is corrected and bang on.

Thanked: 66I remember reading in one of Iwasaki books the he recommend sanding out the saw marks on the sides of the stone and removing the skin to protect the blade during honing.
So I think you can find a lot of super Jnats without id maybe for this reason.
Thanks for sharing this s amazing stone.

Could be a way! but you would do it today if you believe 100% you keep the stone your lifetime, otherwise you would lower the price of the stone removing the stamp....
And if youre careful "normally" you do not hit either the Kawa nor the sawmarks if you have a chamfering....
Removing the Kawa would it make sense too see how the "other" side of the stone works ?!?███▓▒░░.RAZORLOVESTONES.░░▒▓███
