Product Information:

Unlike Western man-made stones, water rather than oil is used on Japanese stones to prevent the surface from being clogged with metal particles. We offer two classes of stone: coarse and finishing. The coarse stones are 250, 800, 1000, and 1200 grit. The 250 and 800 grit are faster cutting and used for repairing nicked edges or reshaping a bevel. The 1000 or 1200 grit stones are used for the first stage of the actual sharpening. Japanese water stones are softer than Western styles causing a fresh, sharp surface to be continually exposed to the tool edge.

Use water rather than oil for sharpening.

Japanese water stones are softer than Western styles.

1/19/2012 5.0 Combination Waterstone 1000/6000 By Bob the Blade Guru from Virginia About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer Pros Easy To Use Ergonomic Design Powerful Quiet Smooth Running Cons Best Uses Polishing Shaping/Finishing Sharpening Comments about King Combination Waterstone, 8" x 2" x 1", 1000/6000 Grit : Excellent stone for knife sharpening. 1000 grit side provides fast and smooth cutting, while the 6000 grit side gives the fine polishing finish to the edge. The 1000 grit wears down faster, so a separate 1000 stone may be needed in the future - after a couple hundred uses or so. The stone is actually a King/Ice Bear Brand, which is a good japanese waterstone. Overall, a great value product and fast shipping service from Woodcraft. I would not hesitate to buy one of these again.
