Thread: Hone of the Day

It's been quite a while since I posted here but have never stopped honing.
A recently acquired Nakayama Kita purchased from a very trusted collector. He told me he had honed around the Kanji to test it and it was a "knockout" finisher. I had to try it. Soon after this pic was taken I deflowered it with a large flat piece of Kassei-Do that I use to dress my stones. Performed a full Mikawa Shiro progression with proven nagura on a well used proven razor. She is truly a knockout. Rivals and maybe even trumps my prized Ozuku, and I DO find that surprising. I don"t care about the ornamentation. This puppy is getting put to work.
