    J-Nat is a common abbreviation of Japanese Natural hone.
    If you search on this site you will find hundreds of pictures of various hones from Japan.

    They come in all kinds of shapes and grits(although grit really doesn't apply to natural hones)

    Some of the more famous ones are Nakayama and Oozuku.
    There are tons of others as well.

    Another place to check out is the wiki.
    There you'll find both descriptions and pictures

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    Bingo, that is correct!!

    Americans are veeery fond of acronyms and abbreviations.
    There is even a page in the wiki to explain most of them

    Watch out these guys are pulling your leg. J-nat is really a secret code word. You just haven't been around enough to get your secret decoder ring. Once you do you will know.

    That is incorrect. J-Nat means Just Never Again To be able to have a banking account that has anything in it.
