  2. Beautiful finish. Which one is your favourite?
     
  3. Tough call! Probably the Nakayama yellow suita, but the Aiiwatani Tomae and big aka renge suita come very very close especially because the nakayama is comparatively small.

  4. Purely based on the photos, the aka renge suita seems to have a particularly nice finish to me
     
  5. Messing around on a polish of a Toyama.

  7. It finishes very nice indeed! and I probably did one of my best jobs on that convex blade using that stone too. The Nakayama is not far behind, a touch harder maybe but reveals more detail, and it's pretty AF.
     
  8. I love how the hard stones bring out so much detail.
     
  9. Clouds !!!! Nice!
     
  10. And here is what I have come to believe is a soft (relatively, it is a medium hard stone) Nakayama asagi. Very fine and makes some mud all on its own. Edges are crazy with this one.

  13. here's a fascinating suita, I'm pretty convinced it's Yaginoshima.

  14. Looks very pretty. we need to see the finish it leaves.

    p.s. I love that it's cold enough that you have to wear gloves and you carry on sharpening regardless! hat off to you sir.
     
  15. Oh it's much colder than what those gloves might lead you to believe lol. As for finish I don't have any picture except a right after that very quick test I did (went on to dry and seal the stone after that). Here's a dirty test result on a Tanaka B2 KU, forgive the bit of fasceting and uncleanness but that bevel has got some convexity to it and I was doing a literally under 1 min test.

  16. Thank you - I get the picture of the type of finish it leaves.
