    "Most" jnats are cheaper. I remember Alex posted a link to a Japanese hatanaka website. They had a maruka kiita listed for $50,000...

    Ah yes Maruka kiita is like saying Red Ferrari.

    Yes that is an extreme example. Even still the average price when visiting Alex or Maksim website seems to be 600-2400, way more than an escher and by no means Ferraris.

    You don't need a Maruka stone to finish razors. Ballpark, $300 Asagi or Namito razor size stone is ample.
