Phenomenal. Perfect middle ground between my 320 grit and 5k grit stones. Why haven’t you bought this yet? Go now and enjoy having a stone that don’t need flattening after every use.

Remarkably efficent stone and with the bonus of being 'splash and go', so no messy soaking episodes. No instructions but I don't mind a few colour illustrations to accompany the Japanese text. lapped the stone with a flat 300 diamond plate and used it straight away with very good results. Not cheap, but again you get what you pay for; too many bad memories of rubbishy sharpening stones that dish out and promise fake grit readings. Definitely recommend these stones for any halkf-serious woodworker/leathercrafter. I'm probbaly going to sucker myself into going for the 5000 grit next even though all my blades are adequately sharp and polished. Addictive and rewarding.

The 2000 grit stone is great for finishing the sharpening process. I use it after using a 320/1200 grit diamond ‘stone’ to further refine the edge before stropping.

Shapton,Shapton, Very sharp

It is very good sharpener ,very good quality

These are just really good stones, really good. Finally big ceramic stones are available for a sensible price. Ceramic is simply put: better tech. I have a very expensive machine to sharpen things for me, belts etc. it’s exceptional. I find myself going for these stones more, they are quicker !! Yes you need to develop some skill with stones but it’s so worth it. They define this as middle grit, but this stone this grit plus a strop…mirror edge!! Fantastic. Would you need a higher grit, not really for the everyday…awesome can’t recommend high enough

Really nice stone it put a seriously sharp edge on my chefs knife i was so impressed I bought the 2000 grit aswell.

I have received this order on Oahu, Hawaii, 96825. I only have a few whetstone for sharpening some of my Japanese knives but this whetstone sharpen very well, it does not cut too fast or too much, which is perfect for touch up and regular sharpening upkeep of your knife. Can get your Japanese knife sharpen in a few minutes, feedback is good and relatively smooth.

Shapton, calidad para años de afilado

Es una de las mejores piedras del mercado

一般家庭ではこれ一つあれば十分かと思います。他の砥石も持っていますが、今はこれしか使っていません。研ぎ心地も良好であまり減らない感じです。長く使えそう！
