One of three Global whetstones of different grit ratings, this white one is Grit 120 for honing damaged knife edges before they're honed on a medium-grit whetstone and then finished on a fine-grit whetstone. It's made of hardened ceramic powder for quick, easy work and can be used immediately after wetting—-there's no need for a lengthy submersion in water. Attached to the whetstone is a porcelain slab for rigidity. The whetstone rests in a removable, rubber-like plastic base to prevent slippage while it's being used. It measures 8-1/4 inches long, 2-3/4 inches wide, and 7/8 inch thick. Instructions and diagrams for proper honing accompany the whetstone.
