I never hand sharpened with water stones before. Not sure if my bevel angles are 100% correct but the knives are sharp. After 10 years my expensive knives were pretty dull and now they are good. I bought this and the 1200 grit stone. About 10 minutes work on each knie and they are cutting well again.

a great stone for its price really,i work with my hands very often at work and often and usually have to open packaging or slice through various materials and this stone keeps my pocket knife literally hair splitting sharp , i also work in the kitchen and it works great for my kitchen knives and also my sports blades. defrinately worth it.

nice stone, works well with some practice, different than natural but good for something based on price versus natural stones

I was told that an 800 grit Japanese water stone would be a good stone to finish your everday knives on. When I first started using it it did a wonderful job of honing my knives to a beautifully polished edge. However over time the grit on the stone started to get rougher and rougher. I was told this was either due to a factory defect in the stone or that the knives I was sharpening were to hard for the stone. The latter I find difficult to believe considering that all my knives have a very low carbon level. Maybe this stone will work for you.
