COOL! It looks like a synthetic nagura or one of those "heaven" grade stones JimR was posting about a little while ago.
Judging by the shape, I would say it's synthetic.

The grit breaks as you use the stone, the longer you spend on the stone with the same slurry the finer the grit will become.Stefan

Depends on if you use tape and how thick the spine is. Originally Posted by kevint

I have read that no one, not even those who spend their lives mining Japanese hones, will estimate the grit of a Nakayama. This may apply to other types of stones too. It's also a matter of how your particular hone cuts, not just what grit it is. Originally Posted by Vpk

Before I got my Nakayama from O_S I tried to pin him down to give me an estimate of the stone I was getting. His response was exactly what you were saying and he would not even make an attempt to relate it other stones and their respective grits either. I know some people are usng their Nakayamas as finishing stones, but to be honest, I think that is in some ways an insult to the potential of the Nakayama. I have found that they are almost finishing system in and of themselves. From what I understand, they are all different fromach other so this may not be an accurate assesment.
