Review on Winco SS 1211 Sharpening 12 Inch Medium by Angela Moore

We bought this stone to sharpen both our regular kitchen knives and my husband's (professional chef) chef's knives. The stone is quite long (12 inches) and of good width (about 1.5 inches thick). This is not natural stone. So if you are looking for something natural then this is not what you need. This is a great sharpening stone though, so if that's what you're looking for, look no further. For this price you get a high quality stone with fine to medium grit. We used a stone with water, I wouldn't recommend it with oil as it's quite porous - dry or with water will do for a good sharpening. We also place a wet rag under the stone on our table to keep it from moving during the sharpening process. Overall this is a great stone at a great price. Ours arrived in perfect condition, with smooth surfaces and intact.
