Hello to everyone,
Since I have too many JNATs I would like to pass on these gems from my collection.
Some premises:
Japanese Natural Whetstone Kiita/Karasu – double sided:
Handheld size Karasu.
This is a beautiful stone, with whom I was able to produce comfortable shaving edges on my kamisoris. The stone can be used on both sides (KIITA/phantom Karasu and Karasu) BUT I recently lacquered it on the Karasu-side as I almost always used the kiita side anyway. I guess you can simply lap or dissolve the lacquer on the karasu side and use this side as well.
This stone cuts fast and produces a silky textured slurry.
Size: 15,5x7,5cm
Weight: 300g
Speed: fast
Hardness: 5-
Price: 95€ + shipping from Italy
Japanese Natural Whetstone Honyama Kiita:
Handheld size -stone. This is a worker, with whom I was able to produce many sharp, comfortable edges on my straight razors. This rock produces a fine orange, milky slurry. Very comfortable to hone with. This is a perfect beginner JNAT for those who want to venture into the fantastic world of Japanese natural stones and do not want to spend a fortune.
Size: 14,3 x 7,8cm
Weight: 266g
Speed: medium/fast
Hardness: 4,5
Price: 70€ + shipping from Italy

Some premises:
- I ship from Italy – shipping cost depends upon the location of destination.
- All evaluations (speed, hardness etc.) are subjective and based on my comparison with other JNATs in my collection.
- If you want more details on a specific stone, I will make sure to answer any questions.
