Thread: Mystery Nagura

I like his videos too, easy on the eye, nice stones!

I looks like most of the razor/stone talk in Japan is on blogs.

The stone №2 has both Maruka stamp ㋕ and that 「岩崎選 」。

And what about this?

Seems to be also Maruka, but you see bad suji and that the lines of stamps are ragged... I think it is a fake.
BTW there are some other signs of fake on this stone.

Here are two links with the current stamps that Hatanaka uses:

?? ??????????????????????????

The second pic is of older stapms (when Kato owned Nakayama) before Hatanaka got the rights over Nakayama along with large raw rock stock.

That second stone looks very nice, what do you think?

Yes, the ② looks very nice.
It is the first stone I have ever seen that have both Maruka stamp ㋕ and that 「 岩崎選 」。
I am still wondering where this「 岩崎選 」stamp has come from?

yeah that stamp is interesting an appears on all older nakayamas

because the stone was never used before I got it, it was a very very good stone though.

Nr 2 is actually from Hatanaka with his stamps, and that price is bit crazy
