    Default My new Nakayama

    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.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
