I think the Asagi ones might be the same as Maruichi (Both from the Nakayama quarry) in that the faster cutting ones are rarer. With the Maruichi ones, the harder they are the slower the become normally, however if you get a fast cutting on its rare. I don't like using the word rare though, coz it sounds like one of those words that people use to get an extra $ or 2. Not only that but of the ones I have been selling, the majority have been somewhat fast cutting, so they don't seem so rare to me.
