Me too. I bought a 15mm thick stone and was pleasantly surprised with a worn maruka stamp on the end that is really only noticeable when wet, or lacquered which it now is. It was not sold as a maruka, so I am a happy fellow.

Just wanted to share pictures of my new stone. Ozuku Asagi.

Well here they are. Honestly the one with the base was the only one I had interest in, and I think it's going to be the best one in the lot. Now I just have to test them all.

Initial test on the kiita with base complete. Holy smokes. Leaves a mirror finish and cuts very fast. Comes in at 6mm thick, so it's obviously been someone's favorite stone for a long time!

The Thanksgiving holidays were pretty good to me with 7 stones in altogether.

First up, a classic Nakayama yellow kiita, very pretty and it can cut the hard SLD steel in my Yoshikane knife. It also polishes well and puts a good edge on a razor with a clear-water finish.

Next, the stone I posted a few days ago in HOTD, an orange kiita with a red 'stripe'. It's a little harder and also polishes well and is a looker.

Third, a sage-green hard asagi, very dense and heavy, and puts a very fine edge on a razor with thin slurry.

Fourth, a little stand-mounted, barber-size grey Nakayama, very fine and an excellent razor finisher.

Took a while to get everything leaned, lapped, inspected, tested, etc.

Cheers, Steve

I love that golden kiita.

And the last one, an old-stock kiita with a fitted base and a maruka stamp on the end. Very dense, not overly hard and very fine. Glad to have this onein the stable.

Cheers, Steve
