Looks like the 16 is now going for $130 @ pretty much every vendor. Every stone seems to have gone up 30%. Anyone know if this is due to the Yen or something else? Haven't checked lately, but the Naniwa SS & Choseras seem to be the same price, so maybe not the exchange rate?

OTOH, w/ the 30k now going for what it is, it makes finishing quality Jnats seem more affordable...
