Been awhile since I posted around here and since I got a package.
Havent had much time for sharpening in the past few months, but ive been tinkering here and there. Got a package from Ken today at any rate.
Heres some 2x8" Spyderco ceramic stones I had Ken cut and mount for the EP, I kept the offcuts to use as nagura. Preliminary testing shows that they work really well to clean embedded steel while maintaining the surface texture of these stones. Ive been using them with a bit of soapy water.
Heres a 120 Nubatama (silicone carbide), a 1k nubatama platinum, and two texturising blocks for the 24 and 60 grit nubatama stones I already have.
Some 80u CBN, a new finer Boron Carbide formulation (0.5u) and a really really fine diamond spray.. Too fine to really be classified as either poly or mono.
Some more Roo, Nanocloth and something a little different.
Heres a 1x6 piece of genuine Cordovan, from one of the last places to make it the traditional way. Very slick drag. It will stay naked.
A Kouzaki Aoto with a piece of Tomo, slightly harder and finer than a Aono Aoto or Monzen Aoto
Heres a chunk of Botan Nagura large enough to sharpen on.
A fair sized Nakayama Asagi with a lacquered Tomo
And the star of the show, a big beautifull Okudo Suita
And now for some updated collection pictures I guess..
Synthetics. Full set of Shapton Pro, Some Nubatamas and a couple randoms..
Naturals. One Coticule (select from ardennes) One Belgian Blue, the rest are Japanese Naturals :love_heart:
Diamonds. Atoma Plates and Heavy Duty Films
Nagura bin
The lot of it, with all the compounds, oils and cleaners I use up top.

There are others with more stones than I.
