" ... Although it may not polish as well as the smaller 6K grit polish stone from King, this one is bigger and easier to use. ... I don't believe the other side is 1K grit, seems much softer/smoother than my King 1K grit. ... "
" ... I started out with oil stones in the past, and whetstones(waterstones) are much more convenient, cleaner and smoother. ... "
" ... I strop with some newspaper after I am done with the 6000 and it cleans up the cutting surface nicely ( I haven't bought a leather strop and newspaper is good enough for my standards). ... "
" ... If you don't mind spending another $10-$15, getting a cleaning stone may be a good investment. ... This is much more likely to happen on the VERY soft 1000 grit side. ... "
" ... This wet stone works great. ... "
" ... In my experience with oil whetstones, additional oil drops are always applied throughout the sharpening process. ... "
" ... Normally use it for polishing and stropping. ... Loadup can be pretty easily cleaned with rust erasers or Nagura stones, or a lapping plate if you need to really flatten the stone. ... "
" ... Removes steel very quickly, considering how fine the surface is. ... "
