Kiita Iromono / Hardness 5 / Fineness 4.5

Japanese Natural Finishing Whetstone Kiita Iromono. The mine is unknown. Looks like a Nakayama but is not Nakayama. 

It is a very hard stone with an excellent cutting power. It makes a creamy slurry, but it’s not fine enough to get a comfortable shaving of it.
Can put a very sharp edge on the razors or knives but extremely aggressive for shaving. 

For razors it can be used as a pre-finisher or as a middle range stone before the final finisher. Or it could be used as a knife finisher. 
 
 The lines on the surface are complete safe. The color around them give them a 3D look but they’re impossible to feel on touch or with any blade. 

You can see the stone in action finishing a blue steel knife after 2000 grit  in This YouTube Video
