Double sided Japanese Whetstone (Toishi) with Base - Combination Grit 800 and 6000

Does what it is supposed to, and does it well.

Excellent water sharpening stone

I bought this dual-sided water sharpening stone because all my various sharpening stones are out-of-the-country and not accessible to me; I needed a minimalist and simple solution for sharpening kitchen and utility knives better than the typical kitchen store gizmos. This set absolutely met my expectations, at what seems like a very reasonable price - it allows me to take pride in the sharpening process.
