A Revelation
"Having always used standard course grit carborundum oilstones before, I bought a 1000/6000 waterstone to use with a new IOShen Mastergrade kitchen knife. What a revelation, the 6000 grit surface brings up a near mirror shine and gives a true edge on the blade - to the point that I succesfully shaved with the knife, cutthroat style!
Now all my tools are ultra sharp, and these stones are particularly suited to hardened high carbon blades such as chisels, planes and posh knives.
Even the fine grit surface is surprisingly good at grinding, so results are swift, but unlike carborundum it's almost impossible to scratch the flat surfaces of blades - no more unsightly marks on my knives!
A pleasant surprise."
