I think that padled Kiita is softer butas i compared it to a Metalmaster level 4 stome is much harder - so it is at least a 4.5
The sourse is an unknown seller in Japan
Great looking addition.
Will have to pick up a hard Kiita for my collection - one day.
I have 1 new Jnat and 2 naguras , unstamped micawas - Botan and Mejiro , or the seller say so .
The biggest koppa is assagi from tomae i think level4 ,14.5 x 8.5 x 2 sm , very fine and a fast stone
The smalest barber hone size is 14.5 x 6.5 x 1 sm is ultra fine and fast stone levell 5 with nashiji and it has cawa on the back
The naguras are softer , fast and smoooth as the 2 koppas are smooth also
Enjoy
