If you look very closely in the right lighting, you'll see a faint sparkle on the surface of some of the stones. That's more common on the more yellower stones.

Hey you're right! I looked at it in sunlight this morning and it's like a slight sprinkling of fine gold glitter. Cool.

Scott: West of Denman (Haro at Gilford). No fabulous prize for you. :001_tongu

Congratulations on your acquisition. I have one kiita (asagi?) Telly sold me and I found it very different from other hones. I love the feedback and the edge it leaves on the blade is smooth, but also feels like the stone actually sharpens, too (not just polish). Makes me start to look at getting another (god...help me).

Scott, seeing how yellow your stone is and how fast it is, it's definitely a Kiita.

Thanks Telly. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. I'm really happy with it.

Try an anusual size. Most of them are squarish. I asked for a long one that was about 2-3 inches wide and got a nice and relatively cheap one. So is very helpful if you ask him very politely and do not mind waiting a couple of weeks for answer to your mails.

If you purchased a whetstone through me, please send me a PM. Thanks.
