Saves $40 from new! “King 1000x/4000x Combination Water Stone” Measures 8” x 2” x 1” Description “King water stones were among the first Japanese stones introduced to the West. They are aluminum oxide abrasive in a resin bond. In our testing, they were effective in O1 steel but noticeably slower in tough alloys such as A2. The particles fracture and dull after a short period, performing like progressively finer grits, which allows you to move from a medium grit straight to a finishing stone. They are economically priced, require only a quick soaking before use, and are a good choice for honing softer tool steels or when cost is a concern. For someone who wants to try water stones for the first time, or for someone who wants a more portable stone system, a combination stone is an economical answer. With 1000x on one side and 4000x on the other, this stone gives you a self-contained sharpening system.” https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/sharpening/stones/33009-king-1000x-4000x-combination-water-stones?item=60M5004&utm_campaign=CAN-EN%7CPLA%7CShopping%7CTools%7CNon-displayItems&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22130795476&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2IDFBhDCARIsABDKOJ4uaBMrPmwD16JYE_ApKMgSAMvKuLzBprLVaUCVtF3VilQp5giRmKUaAsUFEALw_wcB Good article on using Japanese water stones https://www.fine-tools.com/blog/the-use-of-japanese-water-stones#:~:text=The%20stones%20should%20be%20wet,circular%20motions%20under%20light%20pressure.
