I really liked the new stone! Cut fast and made a nice edge for further honing! Would highly recommend this stone!
M
Sharpened some of my knives on the very same day this arrived. Cuts faster and works much better than my old whetstone. It's so good. Definitely my favourite coarse sharpening stone!
F
I compared cutting power of this abrasive material to King 300 grit and it forms burr at least twice as fast on my carbon steel and VG10 knives. What I also love about this stone, after a good buildup it doesn't feel muddy, it doesn't grip the blade and overall feedback is very consistent. If knife has not been dull through the ages, I don't think lesser grit is even required when you have this beast!
C
I held off on this stone for quite a while and I’m really regretting that.
I’ve been using the chosera 3000 grit which I also like but the 800 has a very nice tactile feeling but not too “grippy”.
I really like this stone!
S
This stone is great for a quick touch up because it does not require soaking.
