Good

I'm not an expert sharpener, just sort of do my own personal sharpening in the kitchen and used to sharpen knives for a restaurant I worked at, so take my words with some skepticism. However, I've owned a stone that was around this grit before, and I swear it was not as easily worn down as this stone was. It feels like I used it ONCE and was already noticing dips and grooves in the stone. Perhaps I was using it wrong or something (I did soak the stone until the bubbles stopped), but the stone's slurry was falling off super fast. I didn't bother using it more than 3 times since it felt like the stone was wearing down faster than it was sharpening my knives. Personally this was really not worth it, as you could perhaps find better rocks outside that would last way longer than this. It was also a bit thin for my taste, but that's nothing compared to how poorly it felt like it was working.

It's a good heavy-weighted stone that is easy to hold. Great purchase!

Great product. Excellent work horse of a stone. I'm putting a very steep angle on a S30V Manix 2 as a f*around project and this thing gets some serious work done setting that edge. If you're not drastically changing your bevel angle this thing will set your desired angle very fast. Very handy for that reason. Avoids tedious grinding on less coarse stones. I only gave it 4 stars because my stone came slightly chipped on one side. Doesn't affect the effectiveness of the stone so I didn't send it back but it's worth noting.

First stone came broken in half—no padding in the envelope with a brittle item. Replacement arrived with a chipped case. These should have some padding around the box from the factory. The rough side seems like 100 grit to me, definitely not 180 as in the description. Fine side is as described, 240. Narrower width than some. OK deal.

Great for keeping kitchen knives sharp

Very good cheap stone for the non regular users. Very aggressive stone if you don’t know what you are doing.

excellent

The 120 side cuts really fast, be careful. The 240 side glazes easily but still good and cleans up the 120 scratch pattern rather well. For the price, this is hard to beat. I think this an oil stone but I use just water. It's really soft so be careful. I received mine and it was bowed so keep that in mind.

Superb stones .Flat and they cut very fast .They are not as fast as diamond,obviously,but the second best things and they have the advantage of a large surface 8" by 2".They are also about a 1/5 of the cost of daimond.These are really worth having as a first cut tool.

Works great to sharpen steel blades.
