 Get waterstoned!Oct 08, 2008
By Wood Wizard
I have been a carpenter for almost 12 years. The first 6 years were mainly rough carpentry and my stone of choice was an oil stone. I have since moved on to finish carpentry and woodworking. Razor sharp chisels and planes are a must now! And this combination stone, along with a 800-1000 grit waterstone, produce mirror sharp edges that last a long time. And, unlike an oil stone, waterstones can be honed flat again and cut the metal much faster. And you don't have to worry about the stone cloging.

will polish your edge to mirror sharpnessOct 17, 2011

Very good whetstone for regular use. Will sharpen any kitchen knife without ruining its edge if you know what you're doing, be they German knives (I use it with my Wusthofs) or more delicate Japanese knives, such as Global or Shun. Highly recommended.

 Amazon's description is false and misleadingDec 28, 2010
By Dave
The stone does not look exactly like the photo. There is a piece of plastic running through the center of the stone which divides the stone into 2 grits. Amazon describes the dimensions as 7.25 in. x 2.5 in. x 1 in. The actual dimensions are 8 in. x 2 in. x 1 in., with 1/8 in. of the thickness taken up by the plastic center piece. Amazon's description falsely states "Plastic Stand Included". However, the one I received did not come with a stand.
6000 Grit Not Really needed, High Quality NonethelessJan 15, 2012
By kylemag
These King Stones are legitimate Japanese Water Stones made in, you guessed it, Japan. They are extremely versitile and are the highest quality stones I have used. However, there are a few more good companies out there. Water stones are true to the craft of knife honing and sharpening and is a useful skill to teach yourself. I highly recommend watching virtuovice (YouTube Name) on YouTube for excellent tutorials on how to sharpen with stones.
The lower grit stones like the 250 and 400 are great for taking out chips in the blades or reprofiling the edge to fit your needs or preferences. As a camper who beats on knifes and axes, I really need this benefit to take out those chips and these stones do so beautifully.
A good stone grit to breach the gab between the lower grits and the finishing stone is the 1000 grit. This will help smooth out the edge and give it some great sharpness. It also makes finishing the edge with a 3000 or 4000 grit stone an easier and less time-consuming step in the process. 6000 and 8000 grit stones are not needed at all in my opinion. Finally, you should use a leather strop with a green and black compound to really get a good edge.
Bottom Line and Reccommending Sharpening System:
1.) 250/1000 grit King Water Stone
2.) 3000 or 4000 grit King Stone
3.) Leather strop with compound
You only really need the 250, 1000, and 3000 (or 4000) grit stones with the strop. I have seen the strop put a better edge than 8000 grit stones. Keep in mind a strop is only 30 bucks or so, and you could almost spend $100 on an 8000 grit stone. This reccommended sytem will make a butter knife scary sharp if you wanted it too. However, the stones are expensive and will loose shape over time depending on how much you use them. But the time you use them will definitely yield better results than a spyderco Sharpmaker (I have one). I also reccommend some sort of a stone holder like the Steelex Sharpening Stone Holder. This works well and makes it easier to work with.
