For those of you who know me, it would be no surprise that I have a few stones laying around my hotel room. Here are two chunks that fell into my lap. Alx p.s. Please visit my blog at TheJapanBlade with a new post about the Umegahata region of Kyoto.

Finally got time to take pics of some more stones:
#1 A big botan nagura
#2 my go to Shobudani Asagi prepolisher
#3 Unknown ~3k stone, very nice on kamisoris, too slow for anything else.
#4 Aizu- this one is superb stone 1-3k range, very fast cutter
#5 Aizu, I use the back as lapping plate for the softer natural, the stone is very hard for such low grit
#6 Hideriyama - ~6k range , can be used as intermediate before a prepolisher
#7 Yaginoshima Asagi
#8,9 -Atagoyama Kiita , a true #24 size stone, which is my finest prepolisher, the black lines are not cracks.
those stones are HUGE!
