    Yes, those dark spots or mottling is not common in mikawa nagura. Yours looks pure!

    Picked up a couple of koma over the holidays, 156g and 88g. The boxed piece is older, in a handmade box (folded and stapled cardboard), and a really good piece of koma, always welcome in the hone drawer.

    Cheers, Steve

    You may /maynot have problems with the line .You have to try it . It will be a prefinisher in the worst case scenario , and it will have coticule like edge , if it is not a finisher Enjoy honing
