This is a great 1000 grit 29mm thick Japanese made sharpening whetstone: Dense, low wearing, nice polish, with no metal retention.

This is a great 1000 grit Japanese whetstone. Dense. First use probably needs 20-30minute soak rather than 10minutes. Quickly brought up a burr, though I was transitioning from a lower grit stone. No appreciable wear after 4 knives done. Creamy slurry building very slowly. I find it gives a fair polish too, which was more than I expected. Have not used the fixing stone as there was no metal retention on the stone. Only drawback I have is the price ! But I console myself with the thought that I'm getting a 29mm thick stone at least.Read full review
