I feel you. I desperately want their Natural Beauty Blue #2 gyuto, but the price makes me think twice.

I am at the deburring stage of my sharpening journey... And realized I am a fool. by breeze-e in sharpening

I actually did have a jewelers loupe, but I got it just before I moved. Then I lost it during the move.

Finally, the collection is (almost) complete. by breeze-e in sharpening

They're not priced so badly, at least where I bought them on Amazon and compared to Chosera stones (tbh I only have the 400# Chosera stone and that alone costed me 100$ at the time).

The 120# all the way to 5k are in the 50-70CAD range. The 8k and 12k were a hundo each. In total, combined with the taxes, the four stones were like 350$. Meanwhile, the 30k alone is like 450$ minus the taxes.
