Thread: My new Japanese stone

I got this one and really confused me a lot. i have done at least 25 razor on this stone finally made my mind what is it and how to use it.
what was wrong this stone makes fine edge but all of a sudden half of the edge approximately 1.5 inch length was just broken off. it was not saw tooth etc just looks like laser cut. Finally i find out what is the reason. the reason was fault iron line.
Stone is from reputable seller but he didn't put any stamp etc on this stone. i assume because of it does have big fault iron line or this stone has more problems hidden which i have no idea yet.
it cuts very fast and i used after 1k. brings edge approximately to 16k level in less then 5 minutes. after that you can use another finer Japanese hone or EScher and blade will be shave ready.
i would recommend this stone to person who hones a lot blade. will help you get it done faster.
Definitely not for new starters. 1.5 kg huge stone.
hope this helps.
