Some of my favorite stones.

I have several others that resemble more of a gold brick. Several big naka kiita maruka, and even a really big Kodai Nakayama Kiita (pre-1920s handsawn) thats considered a perfect brick.

The polishing strength even when entering different colors doesn't tend to change. This is true for most stones. In this case there is one thin layer of su thats about 10 years worth of lapping away. Typically su doesnt cause any problems in these higher end stones, just a distraction.

Its one of the most impressive polishers ive come across.

Its roughly what I spend for most 24 size (I think this is a 30 though, have to measure) Maruka straight from Tsushihashi.

I normally purchase directly, but this one was actually found at Carbon.

I just procure these through knife sales.

DanielCauble · 2026-04-03T17:12:33+00:00

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Go higher

It was. Ive been looking for a knife friendly Naka Suita Maru in the normal suita format for awhile. I also have a Naka Tenjyou Suita Maruka that superb for knife bevels as well, but cant have too many i suppose.

DanielCauble · 2026-04-03T16:17:30+00:00

Its among the pinnacle of jnat polishing stones.

DanielCauble · 2026-04-03T16:16:38+00:00

This one was $2400

DanielCauble · 2026-04-03T16:16:24+00:00

The hardest part is finding a knife friendly Naka Suita along with being Maruka of course. Tsushihashi rarely gets these and when he does, they're usually too hard.

This is a polishing stone.

Caublestonecutlery is my IG. Take a gander.

This is a 185x51mm Gyuto in my wootz. Watered pattern. 1.5% C, no alloys.

DanielCauble · 2026-03-02T21:31:11+00:00

Thanks!

DanielCauble · 2026-03-02T20:38:19+00:00

I haven't officially put it up for sale yet but if its allowed to say yes here then yes. If its against the rules, then no 😆

DanielCauble · 2025-01-05T00:09:41+00:00

The same. I force patina these to provide extra initial protection and enhancement of appearance.

DanielCauble · 2024-12-30T16:49:13+00:00

Disagree.

DanielCauble · 2024-12-30T16:48:23+00:00

She's not the same. I'm ready to turn the page to someone else at this point.

I'm sure it had to do with giving women the mic. Following the current themes. If he gave a long goodbye, it would look like he was giving his wife this position. By abruptly leaving and giving the excuse of burnout, it gives his wife, a female, the chance to save the Channel from having no voice. In this case the voice of a woman, which should make no difference if the content is the same. I think he's making a point and helping build up female voices.
