Just got this on the bay. I hope that it will be fun and get here safe.View attachment 788165
Here's a nice old Kato-era iro maruka, worn about halfway down but lots of razor life left in this one. It's very hard, pretty fast and super fine, the first test on the Gold Dollar gave silent HHT root in or out, and not every stone will do that with a Gold Dollar. Happy to see this one, Kato-San's stones are becoming less common.
Cheers, Steve

Nice stone, Tim. Did you buy the Mikawa Nagura as well?
