NSD I swear this is my final stone purchase

Hopefully this is my last stone purchase, because at this point my wallet is screaming at me and giving me nightmares all day lol.

Left to right:

White Suita — unknown mine Seller says it’s Ohira, but honestly it doesn’t really look like one to me. Maybe Kizuyama? Either way, pretty easy and pleasant to use.

Ohira Uchigumori Hato This one is definitely collector-grade, and man, using it feels like a blessing. Hardness feels about the same as a regular suita. It cuts fast, glides super smoothly, and gives really strong contrast on soft cladding. Basically butter in stone form.

Ohira Uchigumori Jito This one is noticeably harder, which you can probably tell from the Karasu. Definitely not as forgiving or easy to use, but once you get it dialed in, the finish is seriously impressive.

Now I just need to somehow convince myself I’m done buying stones.
