What our customer's say!

"Image on Amazon.com is Deceiving", The image provided on Amazon.com shows 4 pieces. You really get oe physical piece with two sides. (see the image and look at the first shape that is yellow and brown) There is not 4 pieces to this kit as the image might lead. However, the description does state you get a 1000/6000 Grit combo....so interpret carefully.

The quality of the stone seems to be good; I will sharpen with it as soon as I receive my sharpening guide/roller tool.

"Worked Well for Me With Honing Guide", I'm a novice at woodworking and I didn't go for five stars here only because I am not able to see, for lack of anything much to compare it to, that the product is really superlative.

I used it only with the Robert Larson 800-1800 Honing Guide that I also got from Amazon, and I first read the relevant portions of The Complete Guide to Sharpening and The Handplane Book [Illustrated]. (Those all seem to be good-to-very-good items too, by the way.)

With all of that preparation, how could I go wrong? Well, I didn't. I managed to do a pretty good job on a Stanley plane iron that, as purchased, was not only unsharpened but never properly ground.

Tip #1 (unless you know more than me, and you well may): if you have to grind a bevel flat and the 1000 grit side of this waterstone is too fine for that, tape a cheap sheet of wet-and-dry 600-grit sandpaper down to a flat surface (I simply used a Formica tabletop) and grind first with that. This will conserve your waterstone for the better licks.

Tip #2: If you have the Larson guide you don't need to remove it when you flip the iron over to hone the flat side (it had looked at first to me as though that would be necessary).

"Chisels are a viable tool now",
I have resisted hand tools and chisels in general because I could never get them sharp enough and it took forever. A friend showed me how easy it was to tune one up on a water stone (once they have been hollow ground) and I was amazed at how little time and what good results came from it. Now, I use chisels and feel it slice the fiber instead of tear it. The combination 1000/6000 stone may not last overly long, but I'll get dedicated thicker ones when the time comes because water stones are the way as far as I'm concerned.

"Combo 1K Grit and 6K Grit Water stone", I rated this stone 4 stars. First of all i like the fact it had 2 grits on both sides. It sharpened to a mirror like finish. However waterstone tend to wear very easily, and the thickness of each grits is only 1/2 inch. The overall stone was 1 in so each side has 1/2 inch of the stone. The waterstone wore out very quick resulting in my lapping my stone every 3-4 chisel or plane irons.

"Excellent!!!", Where have these stones been all my life? They are 100 times better than regular sharpening stones. Excellent product.
