Allow me to present my third Jnat. It is an Oozuku Sunashie Suiita

I am told by the seller that Suiita is the fastest cutting Jnat. I am also told that this particular stone was cut from the lowest possible strata and is therefore a somewhat rare stone. This stone is judged to be in the 15k to 18k range and is designated as a pre-polisher. So far, I find that to be a fairly accurate assessment.

Very nice stone, hope you will enjoy it.

15-18K is plenty of sharp. I wonder how the seller
measured what finess it has.

I believe most guys rely on the scratch pattern under the microscope to get an idea of the approximate grit rating. Then there is the shave test. If the stone improves the shave, it is probably of finer grit than the previous stone you used.

I can easily shave off the Suiita but my Nakayama Maruichi definitely improves the Suiita edge. I have determined that the Suiita is in between the Naniwa 12k and the Nakayama

I Recently purchased my first JNats. A Shoubudani Asagi Lv 5+ From Maxim , which came with a slurry stone. And a Toishi nakayama namito red nashiji from ebay seller 330mate.com.
The later did not come with a slurry stone nor was I able to find out any thing about it . Could any of you give me some info on the stone and recommend a slurry stone for it and where I might get one. I all ready flattened the Asagi so the stamp is gone but the one in question is the smaller tan one as Im sure you know. Thanks in advance.

if you email Maxim he'll be able to recommend you a slurry stone or some people use three stones for full honing a razor.

Maxim set me up with a very nice "tomonagura" stone for my Nakayama. It was just what I needed.

No idea what the 330mate stone might be but you could try a slurry via a Diamond plate & see how it behaves.

So i was re-reading this thread and is suddenly occured to me ....

Where did "Brighty83" go ?????

He has a ton of stones and info and was posting on this thread a lot...

Back to work a little while ago so less free time.

Can anyone help me with the identification of this stone by the stamps on the end of the stone? All I know is that I was told it was a Nakayama...it is 7.5 x 2.5 x 1 inches. I will say that it is 'Extremely Hard' and puts an incredible edge on a razor as the final finisher on slurry (which is very hard to raise!).

Thanks...
