The oohira I got from Hida Tool in Berkley years ago and I love it for refreashing an edge, a few more lapps on the asagi and it's off the the ready shelf. I need a few more stones but they will have to await better times.

I'm going to have to go with BRICK on that one lol. Took me a while to get used to this stone. But now I feel good with it. I have lapped off the kenji but have no worries as I don't intend on getting rid of it. As always I take pics of my stones before lapping them so I have a record. Originally Posted by Brighty83

My latest acquisition.
A perfectly usable to hone on, Botan nagura, very fast after 4k synthetic and leaves very nice edge. I think it is a stone that bridges synthetic to prepolisher gap in a natural progression.

My latest purchase is in the post from Alex
According to Alex
This is a Vintage Specimen Karasu KAMISORI TOISHI.
This large raw shaped stone is rich kuro (black) on asagi (grey) that is called karusu, an allusion to flying black crows that has grit so fine that it feels like it would not affect steel in any way, but as it turns out it polishes the steel with an amazing ability.
With a light slurry the cutting action is noticeably fast, but with no slurry this is a true polishing stone with a hardness level at Lv5.5
The solid tan lines are typical of some Nayamaya stones and are structurally solid
and do not affect the honing action in any way because the minerals are softer than
the sharpening medium.
I have wanted a Karasu for a while now so i can not wait to get it!!!!! Thanks Alex!Last edited by Brighty83; 11-15-2011 at 10:04 AM.

It is addictive, the jnats are just nice to look at and use. This should make my 20th jnat when it arrives
