Beautiful stone. Looks like you're jumping in with both feet in a pin drop position

What nagura you got coming with it?

More of a last kick at the cat sort of thing!

I included a basic 3 piece set: Botan, Mejiro and Tenjyou, just to play with.

I'm also getting a diamond nagura. I could have used one of my diamond plates, but the smaller diamond nagura, seems more suited to the task. I'll be posting more pictures when I get it in house and start playing with it.

As others have stated before me, choosing a dealer is far more important, than the stone itself. I did not have much to spend, and I'm in awe of some of those jnats out there, at their multi thousands of dollar prices, but I'm sure that what I ended up with will be very suitable for my purposes. The fact that it's nice to look at, was an unexpected bonus!
