shoubudani asagi kan

**BanjoTom** · 06-29-2011, 01:53 PM

"How did you flatten the shoubudani the first time?" I didn't. JimR had used this stone to test it and the heavy work was already done. That is why I bought the stone from JimR. I knew that Jnats are all different and that it would take a boatload of effort to prepare an unused stone. Somewhere on this site I read that it was recommended to try a stone b/4 it was purchased. I felt the next best thing was to get the opinion of someone I trusted and that is why I turned to Jim.

Yes this one is larger size, but I don't think it is the
one you mean. This one is called Diaflat, which is 10 by 4 inches.
Is hand certified flat and has a new coating technology,
hardcoat.

Shoubudani Asagi kan.....What does "Kan" mean, other than, "The Wrath of Khan" The bad guy from the Star Trek movie......"Khan"!!!!!!!!!!

I did my Shoobie Doobie with the DMT XX, then a worn DMT C, and I finished up with some wet sandpaper, and took it to 1000k, It has a sparkly glass like surface...
Awesome Stone, That and the Ozuku....I use mine with Nagura up to Koma, and finish with Tomonagura.

it is the circular figuring

**zib** · 06-29-2011, 03:37 PM

Does the circular figuring somehow increase the stones finishing power, or is it just Aesthetically pleasing to the eye....Or is it a "Zen" thing....

**maxim207** · 06-29-2011, 03:46 PM

Zen thing

no its just for looks
and increase value of the stones somtimes

It seems like a lot of the info in this thread would be beneficial in a separate thread specifically on the processes so it would be easier to find for someone who just got their first japanese stone.

Very nice stone, I'm sure that you'll enjoy it.

A cheaper alternative would be koppa size.

Yeah I understand. Maybe Maxim will find something, but I doubt
it. Perhaps in the future.
