My new Nakayama

**mainaman** · 11-11-2009, 04:06 AM

Picked it up from 330mate. The guy also gave me free Nagura(looks synthetic but I can't be positive)
Used for first time to work on a razor I sharpened for a member here.
I used the stone after 16k Glass stone, and it gave me a smoother bevel.
Cutting speed so far medium to fast.
For the money I payed this is a steal imo.

Some pics before lapping.

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.

yes naturals have ranges.
Roughly
Coarse: up to 1-2k
Medium:2k- 6k
Plishing: 6k+
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.

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.

Depends on if you use tape and how thick the spine is.
