#4 Aizu- this one is superb stone 1-3k range, very fast cutter
#5 Aizu, I use the back as lapping plate for the softer natural, the stone is very hard for such low grit
#6 Hideriyama - ~6k range , can be used as intermediate before a prepolisher
#7 Yaginoshima Asagi
#8,9 -Atagoyama Kiita , a true #24 size stone, which is my finest prepolisher, the black lines are not cracks.
What do you think about #7
I have a couple, both of mine seem to be pretty fast cutters
