    That Ozuku Asagi looks mighty mighty nice.

    The Ohira Suita looks like the medium finisher I am looking for.

    Cruel.

    It is cruel, as cruel a joke as the warning on Yamashita's site.

    I was just replying to another thread and ended thinking, "now I know why I want to talk about stones-it makes me think about getting another hone"-which is all i ever really wanted I just could not in normal waking life justify the expense.

    I did not misunderstand. It is always nicer to know what you have. I think I'm trying to say just don't get hung up on it.

    I think most sword polishers will tell you the best cutting edge for the sword is in kaisaei-do stage.(or nagura? i am unsure now) Certainly by the end of the foundation polish with uchigumori "sharpening" has become "polishing"

    By polishing I mean it is more akin to buffing where the goal is creating and even looking scratch free surface.
