Thread: 15-20k Jnat, True or False

Mark is a good fellow and a knife-oriented guy, so his descriptions are oriented toward that audience. He is not a razor jnat expert. I’d suspect that his Ozukus are from Imanishi, whose synth line he also carries. Those Ozukus should be good on razors, they appear to be the same stone that Fendrihan and others carry in barber size. The best for razors? The only way you’re going to get that is like also with coticules or any other natural, start trying stones out and pick the ones that suit you.

He also used to carry knife maker Takeda’s Nakayama line, mostly the koppas. Those were all top shelf razor finishers, I’ve got three and all are really, really, good razor stones, and they were oddly shaped, even for koppa. But they sold for only $80-90. Contact Takeda on social media if interested, but he no longer lists them on his website.
