Shapton Kuromaku Ceramic Whetstone (Orange) Japan - Grit 1000

The price nearly doubled overnight, very bad.

The stone came to me well packaged. I used it right out of the box for the first time. I was very pleased with the results. The flatness of the stone was excellent. The grit was continuous and uniform. And did an outstanding job on my knives. I sharpened many kitchen knives. With fantastic results. The stone cut quickly and easily. The thing I like the most about it was it cleaned up very easily just by running it under the water.

After using V-shaped knife sharpeners for years and always getting substandard edges and chipped blades I'm so glad I swapped to a stone and spent a little more for a high quality one. Amazing edges that seem to last way longer.
