For the budget conscious, combination stones are a no brainer. They offer two grist in one convenient, affordable packaging. This stone is suitable to sharpening Japanese knives and other hard steels, offering a smooth yet robust finish on the 3000 grit side. 1000 grit is an excellent start for dull blades. Grits

Helpful staff, great prices.
Great value, super service from the folks at the Vancouver shop. 1000/3000 is a great compliment to my existing collection of stones, good for both my home knives and the “daily drivers” at work. 3000 gives me a nice polished edge that still maintains some “bite” for the soft smooth skinned items such as tomatoes. Very happy!

Awesome upgrade from pocket stones
I'd been using a set a small pocket stones to sharpen and hone my sloyd (wood carving) knives. This was a huge upgrade, with the heavier and wider stone staying in place more easily and getting better surface contact on each pass.

Combination stone review
Sharpened all the knives I bought in Japan with this combination stone and they brought the edge back nicely. 1000 took awhile I would recommend a rough grit first but they are fantastic maintenance purchase
