Packaged badly , its a miracle it arrived intact !
After my strop wasnt replaced , all my stones will now come from e bay , because they stand by you if you get sent something that is unusuable ! Unlike burrfection , cheers ryky

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!

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!

I love Naniwa stones, the p-308 creates a burr rather quickly with carbon steel and doesn't load up too fast. This was actually my 2nd 800 grit as I dropped and broke the 1st one, leading me to buy the 2nd one immediately so as to quell my rage.

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!
S
This stone is great for a quick touch up because it does not require soaking.

I really liked the new stone! Cut fast and made a nice edge for further honing! Would highly recommend this stone!
