The second stone is a suita stone. Are you using nagura or tomonagura
stone for creating slurry? The slurry can get trapped in the the little
holes and scratch the bevel.

I haven't had a chance to try it out, but it is harder than my other one.

I also picked up another jnat from the Bay. I had bought several nice stones from this seller, so I trusted his description and assessment of the stone. It looked very nice. It is hard, but it a little rougher than my JNS stones. It does cut fast and is a nice size.
