Have tried it every way I could think of almost, it's good and hard.
Harder than my Nakayama Asagi and my Otaniyama Asagi and they are both really hard stones!
It wont absorb any water at all.
With a little tomo nagura (Nakayama Asagi in last pic) it's smooth and eats very hard steel fast, tried it on an old kanna blade.
With just a light slurry it will get a razor shave ready, at least it's sharper than of 0.5 um crox and that's good enough for me.
With pure water it will scratch lightly and as seen in the pics it got su.
So with a heavy tomo slurry or botan I can quickly set a bevel, with a light tomo I can finish, I love this stone! :)
Does anybody have a qualified guess about what I got here?
