Review on NANIWA Plastic Finishing Lobster 1001 IF by Willie Midkiff

Great stone But prone to cracking I didn't even soak them, I just sprayed them with a spray gun. After 2 weeks, hairline cracks appeared all over the stone. Changed for a new one not cracked, 3 weeks of use almost every day. This will sharpen your knife. I usually track 800 3k 8k jumps with phenomenal results. The perfect blade for my sushi knives that I use every day. I usually settle for 3k, but the 8k edge is very addictive when you can get a smooth, non-jagged edge. Overall, I wish this stone was more durable, especially for the price. But for the grain and feel of the sharpening, I'll give it an 8 out of 10. It's like hitting the 10,000th stone but with almost no feedback, so hopefully your sharpening technique is spot on.
