Near 7' Nakayama Karasu hard honing stone razor, knife Tennen Toishi Awasedo

Only one bid? For a Jnat?

Jnats make me really uneasy to buy for whatever reason.

I wouldn't get excited about an irregular shaped karasu for razors

Yeah I think it was the shape that was uninviting. That stone has been up for a while.

Shape was difficult for western razors but ok for kamisori
Karasu also is like Kiita.
It's uncommon that it makes a good razor stone so those in the know would be hesitant unless the seller was trustworthy & happy to give a refund.

In addition to the shape, $25 shipping and overseas location might turn away buyers... I know I avoid it unless i don't have a choice due to the potential loss factor.

I couldn't possibly house a 7 foot stone with all my other stones. They'd get picked on.

That was my thought as well when I saw the title. But why not carve it up and resell? I could get a lot of hones out of a 25 sqft stone!

It's a seven INCH stone fellas....

Most of his hones end rather low, his descriptions aren't always accurate. I guess that is the problem.
