Thanked: 3215I have often bought stones at flea markets and swapmeets, for how they look, up until a few years ago I could buy Arks cheap ($1-5)) just for how they looked, pattern and color. Now for some reason, thank you SRP, arks are hot and cheap stones are harder to find.
I still buy cheap black oily stones, especially from the bottom of a toolbox and always if boxed, cleaning them is like unwrapping a Christmas present. If they are old and boxed, they are usually something special.
I am a sucker for Karasu though, they aren’t near Ark prices.
Nice stones, how do they cut?

Unfortunately, works of art are expensive. Is always. And a beautiful stone too. I am not a fan Karasu, but I can not resist. I'm enjoying.
Cut well.
The next Karasu is less abrasive, but he is not Honyama.
Japanese stones are very gravitated to landscapes. Suitas and autumn and water / sky motives are especially good.regards, AlexSandr

My new Jnat turning out to be a very good one. Slurry has a yellow tint not just white. It cuts fast and is fine enough for a razor. Which was surprising because it is so fast. When it dries I noticed It has su all over the surface but is very small. Suita? IDK for sure but am leaning that way. I have a Nakayama that I purchased for my knives that leaves a nice finish and is fast that took while to find. This one is a tad less fine but very fast cutter. So I am very impressed and for 25 dollars could not be happier.
