I see this hardness rating system a lot when looking for
japanese waterstones. LV 1 is very soft and LV 5 is
very hard. There is even LV 5.5. Havent' seen LV 6 yet, lol.
I would like you guys to describe the feeling you get whilst
honing on a japanese natural stone with a certain hardness.
Many of you guys have many stones with different hardness,
so you can compare better.
Thanks in advance.
