Large Size Polishing Sharpening Stone,Grit 10000# Knife Sharpener Whetstone Final Fine Polishing Natural Green Honing Oilstone for Knives Tools,Cutting Tools 180 * 60 * 30mm with Bamboo Base

I was a bit wary of this for the price, but so glad I went with this instead of an expensive Arkansas black stone. The stone showed up dark green and matched the first image, this was the color I was hoping for as there are variations in any natural product. The color really doesn't matter in the long run though. It comes with a nice bamboo holder with a non-slip rubber base, and two rubber feet that can be used to hold the stone in place fi used without the bamboo mount, and they also protect the edges of the stone.The stone looks very nice! It's ultra smooth and flat with chamfered edges. This stone is so smooth that an invisible speck feels like a boulder under the knife blade. I was able to get my knife shaving sharp before I even put it to the strop and after it was so sharp I could peel a hair dangling in mid-air. It's scary sharp. I did use honing oil and recommend a light oil or honing oil with stones this fine. The stone feels super hard and should literally last a lifetime.Do beware that this really isn't for sharpening, this is to put a final edge on an already sharp knife. I would probably sharpen to at least a 1200 grit stone before jumping to this stone. Honestly, it's really not something that most people will have any use for, but if you want a super nice stone or really want a crazy sharp knife, this is the stone!

This stone is like one that I saw forty years ago and when I saw it I had to get it best stone for knives and other tools ever and it will never wear out great size and my knives are so sharp it scary

Received a good piece of stone. Nice and flat. Smooth with no fractures. The leather is of good quality. This is a good piece to put a final edge on my knifes. Would recommend to others.

I sharpen all my knives by hand, and was pleasantly surprised this is on par with my $100+ ceramic shapton glass #10000 water stone. Was able to ditch water stones completely and use Arkansas stones to sharpen and this one to finish. It's much less time and cleanup.Not to mention, being a heavy natural stone, it's nearly indestructible; I don't have to level it or soak it or any of that crap. Just a drop of oil and razor sharp in a couple minutes

Very nice polishing stone Very smooth better than I expected I recommend this to anyone looking for a stone to polish to that mirror finish

Works like a charm.

This is a pretty good sized stone. Seems to be as advertized. Was packaged well and arrived in a resonable time frame. That being said. One side was used a fair amount. Its scratched up. It seems ok but when you buy something you expect if to be new. Well see how well it works.

This stone is great for the final stage. Use honing oil, and you'll get a mirror edge that is sharp enough to shave with.
