All one can tell from those stamps. It's a 330mate stone. Some love him, some hate him. Never bought anything from him so I can't judge.
My suggestion. Forget about mines and names and use your stone. The more time I spend playing with Jnats the more I am growing allergic to the BS name game.
Unknown finishing stone I picked up. I think it is 7x4, not really sure thoughAttachment 301912Attachment 301913Attachment 301914
Last picture is wet, so you can see the contrast. Anyone have any ideas what it is? Or is this a futile guessing game?
Very nice size! Shape! and thickness! Keep on honing!
At some point, it doesn't even matter. If it's good, just enjoy a good stone. If it's not that good, well, life ain't that long to lose time on it for razors. From the image, it could be from a various number of mines.
I am going to try my Nagura progression on it and get back to everyone.
2 kiitas added. Both very hard, rather unexpected for stones of this color, at least I was surprised.
First is a small stone, I added a pic with a razor on it for comparison. Well whatever it lacks in size it makes up for in power. That little rascal can wipe 1200 atoma scratches like nothing. It's probably the fastest kiita I have, just unreal speed. Shave is pending. I am curious if this hyper speed translates to a good finish.
Second kiita, full size. Some nashiji in the corners. Lovely hard rock that has an amazing feeling when honing. It took a razor from bevel set to finish and gave a nice shave.
Overall pretty happy.
