Product Description

Use this fine grit stone after sharpening with a coarse and medium grit to remove any scratches on the surface or to simply realign a slightly dull edge for a razor sharp finish. Using a fine grit stone to polish your edge can actually help to make carbon steel knives more rust proof. This whetstone has been baked and is porous so should be soaked in water until the bubbles stop surfacing. King is one of the top choices for sharpening stones among chefs in Japan. Material: Synthetic stone Dimensions: 8" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" This listing is for one piece sharping stone only.

Customers find the knife sharpener easy to use. They mention that it produces nice edges, and the slurry side takes a little work to develop a bur. The stone is very hard and hasn't detected any major soft spots yet.

A great upgrade from diamond stones
5 Stars
A great upgrade from diamond stones
After using diamond stones for several years, I decided to upgrade to water stones. After much research, this combination stone seemed to be the best option as far as quality and price. I was not disappointed.The stone arrived wrapped well in bubble wrap, but the tight bundle was then placed loosely in a much larger box and allowed to tumble freely inside. A corner of the 6000 grit side was damaged, but the stone is otherwise intact.I didn't notice anyone mentioning this in other reviews, but my stones have a distinct odor. It's not something I expected, not sure if my stones are unusual in that respect. So, I mention it here as my observation.I had no difficulty in developing a slurry and sharpening many types of tools and knives.The fine surface finish left by the 1000 stone is unlike fixed abrasive products like sandpaper and diamond stones. The surface of the sharpened item has no distinct "scratch pattern" but rather a "cloudy" or "frosted" appearance. The 6000 grit surface yields the same style of finish, but just shy of mirror polish.Using green honing compound on a pine strop brings the finish to a bright, flawless mirror finish somewhat faster and easier than I can get from my diamond plates (which only go to 1200 grit).Very pleased with my purchase and enjoy my new sharpening stones.
