1. For sale a big hard Aoto that I got from Japan. The stone does not auto slurry very easy, though slurry can easily be made with a hard tomonagura or well used diamond plate. It will easily remove 1k scratches and will leave a very nice contrasted finish on traditional blades. The stone is...

For sale a 210mm Blue 2 steel Deba that I got from Japan a few years ago. I can't remember the maker unfortunately. I did some sharpening on the knife but it has seen little use as I prefer smaller blades. The knife has been sitting in its box, the condition can be seen in the pics. Actual...

#1.Ohira Renge Suita from JNS. This stone was from the very first batch Maksim received, he showed me all the stones and I chose several that I liked. He then tested and selected the best of them. This is a very tough decision for me, but with a new house purchase I need funds. This is an...

1. Large Green Aoto. Those are no longer carried by Maksim (JNS), but are awesome natural stones. The stone is a bit finer than the Red Aoto, I'd say in the 3-4k range. It is great touch up stone, it is fast and it leaves very uniform finish. Sides are lacquered, the dark spots are water. PRICE=...

For sale Aizu that I got a long time ago from Maxim, when he found a small batch of them from Japan. The stone finishes in the 2k level, it cuts fast, and leaved consistent finish. I have cit a grid on the back side that I use to lap other naturals and synthetics. The grid helps with reducing...

This is a Kouzaki that I got about a month ago for testing, that I liked so much that I decided to keep. At a first glance I thought this was Aoto- like stone, based on appearance alone (not talking about the cheap Tamba Aotos that are all over the internet), so I figured that would be a nice...

I can't remember fully well who makes the new stones in the Kramer line by Henckels can anyone remind me? I keep thinking rebranded thinner Choseras, but not 100%? Thanks

Got this knife from Max a few weeks a go and had a chance to use and compare against a few other knives. The knife has perfect FF , rounded spine and choil, and KU finish. The KU finish is nicely textured, not like Moritaka for example. The steel is V2, a bit reactive I thought, but I guess...
