Kita Suita
tennin toishi
uchigumori

Can any of you help with this? Thank you!

Kiita Suita is a nonsense. These are 2 different stones from 2 different layers.

Tennen Toishi loosely translates to Natural Whetstone.

Uchigumori is a stone generally used in sword polishing not razors.

There are many Jnats that can follow an 8k synthetic however from your admitted lack of knowledge I would research a lot before buying & maybe rely on a trusted source rather than eBay.
