I was happy with it. Yes, it's small, but with my pocket knives in combination with other stones and a belt, it does a great job. My two knives are C110v and C35vn. It appears to be of good quality and feels like it has settled down after a few uses. First I bought a large 8 x 3" DTM xx-fine. Not happy at all. It looked awful. They even felt the need to put a note in the box saying it was supposed to look awful. wasn't flat and too many horrible high speed bump particles that would have stopped my blade if I ran the blade lightly over it.This little one is much better for my needs.It looks and feels as expected.
