The rock I've been waiting for!

This brick is sure to change the game! My knives have never been this sharp and shiny before using this stone. Very smooth and easy to work with, but I've found it doesn't absorb as much water as a 200/1000 grit stone. It came with a small chip, but the price doesn't bother me, plus it wobbles a bit. I'm very happy with the result, that's why I'm giving it five stars.

Pros
  • Offers a high gloss finish
Cons
  • Crumpled

Can make a good knife blade better than a new one

Expensive but if you're a fan of keeping your tools sharp, this is a must have addition to the Tormek T-4. I am a professional chef and my knives are an important and expensive investment and an extension of my hands. I expect my knives to perform the way my customers expect me to. The Japanese water stone helps with this. When I've finished working with the blade, it's literally sharper than new and more carefully polished.

Pros
  • Extremely durable
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Excellent performance but slightly more expensive

I guess I wouldn't complain so much about the price if I didn't wait so long to get it and then the price went up. But I actually waited because it was already expensive at the previous price and I was hoping that the price would go down (as sometimes happens with other items sold by Revain). That didn't happen and I ended up needing the stone badly for a lot of quick sharpening so I bought it at the current price. In any case, I keep my large set of good kitchen knives rather fanatically. good

Pros
  • Removes the minimum amount of steel when an excellent surface finish is required.
Cons
  • boring packaging
