Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Japanese Professional Knife Sharpening Stone Sharpener
Customer Review: Good price, good stone
Summary: 5 Stars
So far I've been very happy with this stone. (I use this one and a 6000 grit stone). Good quality at a good price. Have had it for a few months and it is still nice and flat and even. Will update if time proves me wrong.
Edit 6/15/09: I am now more familiar and experienced with stones, so I would like to add a few things. First and foremost, I still believe this is a good stone and at the listed price ($25), it's quite a bargain. I only wish they offered one that was a little wider. I've now tried some King waterstones - the standard for cheap but good Japanese waterstones. In comparison, this stone does not cut as fast as the kings. It also does not dish as fast. More importantly, I feel like this stone leaves a nicer finish than does a king stone at 1000 grit. As such, I recommend this stone in general, but I recommend it very highly if you are on a limited budget and don't want to buy any higher grit stones to finish on. And due to the narrow width of the stone, if you're looking primarily for a coarse stone for grinding (if you are more interested in the 220 grit side than the 1000 grit side), there are probably better options, though perhaps not on amazon.
In either case don't waste money on stones sold by knife companies - shun, global, whatever. They charge a huge markup compared to other companies based on brand recognition and people assuming that a company's stone is best for their knives.
