Review on Shaptonstone Traditional Homogeneous Waterstones Purple by David Edwards

I have the 320, 1000, 5000 and 8000 models. I have sharpened some very dull chisels and hand plane knives. After 2 months of intensive use, having to get everything done, I am very happy to say that these stones are wonderful. I haven't had to sharpen them yet, so I won't comment on how well they sharpen, but the fact that I haven't had to sharpen them says a lot about them. The 5000 is by far the most used as I only use the 8000 for microbevel and it's still flat. Once the chisels are sharp I only use the thinner ones to sharpen the blades and it goes very quickly. (picture from last week only makes chisels)
