I'm going to say the result is somewhere between theNorton 4 and the 8
I have a feeling I could shave off it, but bet it wouldnt be comfy. I would be happy to send this stone to Stefan, and then have him send it on to you Mike.
Just nobody drop it!

The label mentions Japanese Empire. That label is pre-1945 because after the war the reference to an "Empire" was not used. This looks like a good stone to me and the white slurry is a good indicator or high silica content. I would be happy to test out the stone also.

I say,
The stone made it to the NY/NY meetup, where it was judged to be a "Great Stone" of the Oshihiro type. (not sure about spelling, or what that means, but I think thats what they said)
I would be happy to let you guys play with it, but I DO want to seal it up before sending it off. Give me a few days, I'm on the road right now. =)
