So I have a customer who brings me a ww2 era Katana, of less than desirable condition that he tried to grind himself. The shinogi-ji overground which thinned the mune a bit much. Here's the kicker, he only tried to do it in a 5" section about 5" from the ha machi and now I've gotta do some serious grinding on my stones to correct this. Normally, I might be able to feather the sword from its thinnest portion and spread that error out along the whole blade, but it's so drastic I have to follow what he did.
The best part, if I try to match this on the other sode, I'll have mune-less katana. So I need a recomendation for a great stone that will remove material quickly, between 200 and 300 grit, and won't turn to paste in an hour of work. Has to be waterstone and I'd like it to be a massive brick.
Go!
