Re: WTS- Aizu Stone
Weekend bump.
FYI. I don’t think this is a crack, as much as a line that had the potential to crack before I mounted the stone to a board.

Re: WTS- Aizu Stone
I have an Aizu from this same batch of stones and it provides my second favorite all-purpose kitchen edge. In fact I sold 2 other Aizu's in favor of it. It also has reasonable polishing chops for a mid-grit natural. This is also one of the largest Aizu I have seen. Seriously nice stone here, folks.
Re: WTS- Aizu Stone
Is this still available?
I'm a sushi chef from Seattle and have owned dozens of knives and stones over the last 24 years in the biz.
Re: WTS- Aizu Stone
What's the grit range of this one? I've seen them varying from 800-2000 and 2000-4000ish.

Re: WTS- Aizu Stone
While the posting I purchased this from said 1-5 k, I think it is on the higher grit side.
