Excellent stone producing fast nagura, and doing a great a job on a variety of knives
This vintage stone did a great job in sharpening a few of my knives.
The process did not take a long time.
I just sprinkled a little water and went ahead right away.
Very soon after I started, plenty of nagura was produced and the sharpening went as smoothly as any I have been involved in.
I used the stone on Japanese as well as German knives. It worked well on both.
I used this stone alone, even though it was recommended to me as a middle process stone.
I did not do early, middle, and finish stones. Just the one that is the subject of this review because I do not have the time. And IT WORKED!!
