Review: Great waterstone - I purchased this after realizing I needed a medium grit stone in between my coarse dry stone and my King Ice Bear 4000 Grit Waterstone . This stone functions flawlessly. Out of the box (packaged nicely by KORIN) you will get the stone and some instructions in Japanese. Most of it (from reading the Chinese characters in the text that mean the same in Japanese) regards proper use and safety while using, so I think you'd be fine there. The stone is hefty, more so than you would think. The surface is a lot coarser than my 4000 grit waterstone. One thing to note is that this is a synthetic waterstone, instead of a natural waterstone. This means that this will not produce a slurry like a natural waterstone, will last longer, but cut slower, and is prone to clogging by steel. As I have some time on my hands, I chose this stone. After getting the basic edge shape done with a coarse dry stone, it was time to refine the edge with this. To use this stone, one would flood it with water. I run the tap over it until I can see the water stay on top of the stone instead of disappearing within the depths of the stone. First time sharpening this it worked like a charm. During sharpening some red particulates emerge from the surface and float to the top of the water. This is simply the cutting particles coming loose from the sharpening action and floating away after cutting into the metal. I was able to get the previously crap grind on my Cold Steel Frontier Hawk Hickory Handle into a very nice proper axe grind and a very serviceable convex edge in about half an hour. This stone, while not as fast as a natural stone, worked perfectly for my purposes. Flawless sharpening, flawless cleanup. I further refined the edge with the 4000 grit stone, as I do not own a leather strop. As I will eventually destroy the edge anyway from working on trails, I don't mind not having my tools razor sharp. All in all, this stone was a great purchase. Its size and longevity will ensure that it will be used for a long time, and its effectiveness allows it to remain in my tool box as my primary sharpening stone. Great purchase, and worthwhile for anyone who prefers to hand sharpen their equipment. Review: Glad I researched and waited to buy this excellent stone - This is the finest grit stone I've used and I like it a lot. After doing research for a year or so, off and on, I decided this was the best value for what I wanted - a waterstone for final edging that's universal from kitchen knives to wood chisels. I'd had several stones on my wish list from various sources, but rejected the combo stones with 1000/6000 etc, because of cost or thinness of material. I've been using cheap 60 to 200 grit stones all my life and got tired of cupping, oil mess, and lack of sharpness. This stone is as much as I need, not being a professional chef or cabinet maker who can appreciate polishing to 6000 or 10000 grit. I also tried wet-dry sandpaper on glass, but this stone is my favorite for finishing. I will say, it's soft, so be careful not to gouge it with an edge digging in on a wrong direction stroke. I'll be getting a honing guide next rather than freehanding the angles, though I'm still getting paper-cutting edges after finishing up with a steel. I've used it several times, so I can't say how long it will last, though I'm betting a long time. ## Features - King deluxe - Retail package product from japan - 24 sheets, 12 colors ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0016VC46A | | Best Sellers Rank | #45,911 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #66 in Sharpening Stones | | Brand Name | KING | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,021) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04963188100206 | | Grit Type | Medium | | Included Components | K1000 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 9.06"L x 2.8"W x 2.8"H | | Item Type Name | K1000 #1000 WHET STONE | | Item Weight | 1.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | King | | Material Type | Ceramic | | UPC | 781147729978 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KING - **Color:** Brown - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04963188100206 - **Grit Type:** Medium - **Item Weight:** 1.1 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** King - **Material:** Ceramic - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 9.06"L x 2.8"W x 2.8"H - **UPC:** 781147729978 ## Images ![KING Grain Sharpening Stone, #1000, Medium - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Hd7UPS4eL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great waterstone *by J***G on December 13, 2012* I purchased this after realizing I needed a medium grit stone in between my coarse dry stone and my King Ice Bear 4000 Grit Waterstone .
