Hey Guys,

I bought a large Tomo Nagura, from a trusted source .

Last night I tried it out. As soon as I lay the blade on to the slurry I head a crunching sound. The slurry was gritty , not to the eye but to the feel and sound.

I figured , maybe the grit had come from the untidy edges . So I pulled a piece from the underside and took it too a diamond plate .

Made it all nice n neat with bevelled sides.

Same results , gritty slurry that destroys an edge and the deep scratches are visible under the microscope.

I've e mailed the seller but I think he takes a while to answer all his e mails.

I'm just wondering , is it a case or a duff Tomo or am I missing some thing ?

Cheers ...
