This is a very nice nagura although it's like 2/3 the price of some of the cheaper stones out there. It's very hard and slow wearing and like most Naniwa products I would wager this is finer than its stated grit, maybe closer to 6k. As I've said this thing is hard, the mud created on even a Shapton Pro 5k; which is a very hard and wear resistant stone; was at least half stone material. I personally like harder naguras just be aware that even on hard stones it doesn't give up a whole lot. I've used it on my Arashiyama 6k and the 6k side of my Imanishi combo stone and I didn't notice a decrease in the brightness of the edge, one of the reasons I believe this is probably finer than most 5k stones out there except maybe Naniwas. It should last a very long time though from what I'm seeing. Highly recommend if you have 20 bucks burning a whole in your pocketWas this rating helpful to you?
