Good luck with the stone.

Sharpman

yes it is a little more yellow in real person the problem is the camera it is from my cell phone. I don't own a very good camera and I am not good at photography. All of my money goes into musical instruments, razors and hones

2 new ones
Ozuko Karasu Mizu Asagi - very beautiful light gray stone.

Dry



wet


Ozuko Kiita Karasu Tomonagura
this one can be also used as a stand alone prepolishing stone, very nice yellow color.

Hi Stefan
Nice looking karasu. I am guessing from the Namito strata, maybe from Ozuko mine. Just pulling you leg!

By the way, what does "Mizu Asagi" mean?

Light blue (gray)

Alex both are Ozukos, from what strata who knows

Very nice stones for razor and great addition to my collection.

this is one of my new j-nats its a Ozuku asagi (koppa) it s 5 3/4 in. long and 3 1/4 in. wide 3/4 in. thick enjoy

Just got 2 new to my collection, not exactly for razors but here they go

Deal was that i send my supplier my Rare western Naturals and he send me his.
So i did not know what i get, to make it bit fun
So i Shipped him my Eschers, Coticules and some French Nat stone.

And here is what i got for first batch, i get 3 more stones next week that is for razors

Saeki:

When i looked at it i thought Aoto and i got straight answer that is not Aoto !!!!
It is Saeki, and not just reguler Saeki it is black Saeki witch is very Rare, you can stil get brown Saekis if you are lucky, but they are much much softer and very slow and lower grit more like Amakusa stones !!

It hase some sparkels all over the stone, very difficult to see on the picture. But very beautiful in person.
All Lines and small inclusions is not toxic at all and even can not be field.
It took me about 1 hr to lap it with 140grit Atoma !! Then i just gave up and there are stil some deep lines in the stone, they will go away with time
Fines of that stone is approx same as Very fine Aoto but speed man..... !!!! I took my Honyaki witch is super hard to sharpen and it took no time to raze a burr and finish was super uniform !
Wow this is my new favored medium stone ! it cuts like 1k maybe lower but finishes like 4k with mud maybe 6k.

Here is some pictures:





Second is 3 kg Shinden suita Raw stone. Also Very Rare huge stone !
At first i thought i will cut it up for Naguras, because of all those lines and very weird shape.
But after i have tried it with my tools , kanna, chisels and kuri, i decided to kip it. Lines was not toxic at all and shape was super nice for tools !
Very very fast stone and leves amazing finish lv 4,5 for sure maybe even more but super fast.
I can just leve it as display stone, because it looks so cool

5 new stones to my collection

Ozuku Tenjyou Range Suita





Nakayma Suita





Nakayama Maruka Kiita





2 Asano Koma Marble and Pure White

Ozuko Asagi, LV5+
