Thread: J-Nat club

Can anyone help me with the identification of this stone by the stamps on the end of the stone? All I know is that I was told it was a Nakayama...it is 7.5 x 2.5 x 1 inches. I will say that it is 'Extremely Hard' and puts an incredible edge on a razor as the final finisher on slurry (which is very hard to raise!).

Thanks...

I can;t remember the translation, but the stamp does not say anything about the stone.
This is a 330mate stone so it can be anything

As above. They are 330mate.com's stamps. Not really an accurate identification of the stone.

Thanks Onimaru55 and Mainaman...

I guess it really doesn't matter knowing what it is as long as it works...appreciate the response!

Looks like a stone from the namito layer. Should be a hard and fine stone.

I can't be certain of course, but I have seen so many(thousands) natural stones
and I always pay attention to their looks and what mine and strata they are from.

OP says the stone is very hard, so very likely from a deep strata. It does not
look like suita at all, so probably tomae, namito or aisa strata. Looking at the
colour of the stone I see this greenish colour, and tiny hints of karasu
which makes me think namito the most and maybe aisa. And I get a ''namito
feeling'' looking at the stone. Might be aisa or between both.

You have personally hadled thousands of Jnats or just seen pictures of that many?
I am not sure one can tell what a stone is just by looking at pics, especially if we do not know the pic shows the real color of the stone.
Karasu can be fond in layers other than Aisa and Namito.

My latest acquisition
Nakayama Maruichi, suita with Renge and no su, never seen one like that before.
