Some of mine [emoji23]

Nakayama Tomae Lv. 4.5

Ozuku Mizu Asagi Koppa Size Lv. 5

So I was given a Jnat for Christmas! I'm not exactly sure what I have here, I think the stamp is "Jyunshouhonyama". The best translation I can get of the stamp is "genuine original mountain" or "pure source mountain". A stone in an old post with the same stamp suggests it may be from Nakayama (http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...-nakayama.html). I'm sure someone on here knows more about it than I do.

If I understand correctly the colour is Asagi (which covers green, blue and/or grey?). Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) a piece of the stone cracked off of the bottom so I cleaned it up to use as a tomonagura. I think this stone is on the softer side since it slurries pretty fast (faster than either of my coticules slurry if that means anything). The feedback is silky smooth and it leaves a cloudy mirror polish on the bevel. Other than that the only thing I know about this stone is that it is capable of a damn fine edge - like a cross between my sharpest synthetic edge and my smoothest coticule edge. I couldn't be happier right now!

I have this same looking stone , very good hight end finisher . Levell 5 but on the soft side - just perfect for raising slurry with a very hard tomo . Same acid wellow color sluryq it almost doesnt drink watter at all .
140 x 80 mm size x 1.8 sm Verry intresting swirl patern - maybe an asagi from tomae layer
This stone is number 9 and came with a number 10 jnat and a nagura , witch i believe is unstamped koma

Dnd thid kiita asagi beauty witch is the finest finisher , finest than a blue green thury and leave such thury edje .
it was a strbange shape , in the begining it was a big stone maybe 210 or 215 x 75 but weared and broken on theone side
I cut a triangle tomo nagura from it 4 x 3 x 3 sm and i straighten the shape so it is pure 17 x 7.5 x 1 .2 sm
or a 7x3x0.5 inch
levell 5 absolute smooth and silky , fast and amazing . Perfect finisher as i try it . It haz some kan patern and has 2 sides for working - Yeah
This is my number 10 Jnat , enjoy guys

Why are these things so damn addictive?

A box came today from Japan with 3 Jnats , a Japanese KOKUSAIBUNKA razor ,and nice size akapin soft tomo nagura as a gift from the seller .
The 3 stones are of tremendous quality - ive had few jnats alround 10 but those 3 are remarquable
The Kiita kopa with a hint ofmizu assagi in it - levell 5 ++ ultra fine , ultra smooth and pure and fast i think is definetly in my top 3 Jnats - 14x8 sm
Second is a softer level 5 - assagi tomae witch is definetly harder and finer and smoother than the Nakyama iromono that i have from Metalmaster The new assagi is very fine and smooth finisher also -18x6.8 sm
The styrangest and i think the oldest stone is the well worn is the unknown Jnat - 21.5x 8 sm It i very fast on slurry and very agressive cutter Hard as the kiita i Think is levell 5+ or harder Very pure stoe witha smooth feedback
It is covered with gazilion of almost microscopic SU holes
It doesnt drink any watter and it has very intresting patern ot the finest posible but not a prefinisher also
If someone has an idea what stratta or what is that Jnat i will be very glad
the kiita and the last Jnats has some intresting black kawa skinn with a shiny things in it on 2 small spots at the sides - maybe from the mine with the N in the name ha ha ah a
