What I find myself using at this point of my journey, mikawa nagura. Can't say why, wouldn't say its better or worse, just I enjoy using them. Maybe down the road I will change.
All rocks need to be tested, buying a stone based on name means nothing. They are natural rocks and also people make names up:) Oh, also just because a mikawa nagura is stamped doesnt mean it will work. My friend Srdjan and I bought a set and he took the botan and mejiro. Well the botan is flat and lacks cutting power. Natural stones.
