NOS Hatanaka Nakayama Kiita / Hardness 4.5+ / Fineness 5+ / Razors and Knives

Japanese Natural Finishing Whetstone Nakayama Kiita from Hatanaka 

It has some partial stamp ink on the side. It can possibly be a Maruka stone since is around the same fineness level.
 With or without Maruka stamp, the stone performs the same. 

It is a hard stone and superfine that I recommend it to be used as a final finisher at the end of the honing progression or to refresh the edge of the razor every time the shave is less comfortable and starts to pull the hair.

Excellent as a knife polisher!
This is a polishing stone and it has its place in the progression after the finishing stone, since its finesse is far superior to what is considered a Jnat finisher for knives.

 A Nakayama Maruka Kiita tomo nagura level 5++ fineness will be included as a gift. 

The stone has been partially lapped for testing in between the stamps. Requires proper lapping before use.
