I promise, next one :)

I just realized I have never posted all my naguras here so here is my entry:

From left to right- botan, tenjio, mejiro

why would you need koma?
You can do just fine with a good Mejiro

The whole stone is full with Su not only the edge, I can see a good amount on the surface

just need to be careful wit that Su , the edges can rumble and end up in the slurry and mess up the edge of the razor.

None that is stamped by Asano as far as I can see.

I have soaked all my stones for 2 days with no ill effects.

yes soaking makes slurry release easier.

Ohzuku are some of the hardest stones you will find, the koma should be softer than that. Great looking naguras too.

Jim thanks for the useful info.

Here are my naguras:

Koma

Jim,
I know there are suita nakaymas, IIRC Seth used to own one, but majority are Tomae and Namito I believe.
I wanted to make sure this is clarified because of the concern of grit contamination,...

Jim aren't Nakayama stones usually Tomae not Suita?

James,
as far s I am aware there is coarse naguras that can be used for bevel setting too.


Here an interesting quote posted by Telly:

My only experiment so far,
1k bevel set, then Mejiro nagura on C12k (works on my Asagi too) then Asagi finish, worked great, and pretty fast.
I'll take some pics of the naguras and post tomorrow....
