Thread: HELP!!! Please help verify if stone is Karasu

These next two are Nakayama Karasu. The figure is very similar to those above, looking at photos alone. But when honing in hand, the differences are very noticeable. Both are very hard, and very fine, great finishers. The thin 3 X 5" one is much slower than the much thicker 1.5 X 7" one, but both are great stones. The rear and sides of the thin stone came lacquered with Urushi by OLD_SCHOOL, the thicker stone is un-laquered. The thin one is an Asagi with Karasu figure, the thick one is Kiita with Karasu figure.
