    +1 on the Shoubudani!

    They are usually great stones, I would say they are as good as the Nakayamas but for a better price, tho all prices on all jnats are going thru the roof right now.
    Some Nakayamas can be much finer/harder than the Shoubudani but a lot are equally good and fine.

    Now the real treat will be if the stone is a good razor finisher, are those tiny white dots Su or just nicks and punches from being moved in piles of other stones?

    White marks must be Su. The stone's surface is unblemished and undamaged.

    Here I have one Ohira renge suita stone and one other unknown suita stone that is suitable for razors.

    The Ohira is not used on razors because it is a little too soft. But on kitchenknifes it is a joy.

    Nakayama karasu and okudu sunashi suita with chosera 1k for scale. Cropped the "ear" of the karasu for a true tomo. It does nothing for the hone, so why not?

    I was stupid enough to sell my Okudo Karasu last summer been missing it ever since.

    Finally I picked up a new one, not an Okudo, but, unless I've been totally screwed, an Ozuku Asagi and Botan, Tenjyou, Mejiro and Tomo naguras.

    Haven't had time to test drive it yet, been busy in the workshop getting some razors ready for honing

    Rune, looks like the new one has a touch of Karasu in the middle.

    Yes, I've noticed, it also has a small spot by the lower edge. I wasn't sure wether it's enough to qualify as a Karasu or not, and the seller only described it as an Ozkou Asagi Lv5.

    Would this be an Ozoku Asagi Karsu then? (Not that I care as long as I get the results I seek)
