Everything delivered as expected in good time & well packaged.. First impression the Stone is good, dimensions etc .. exactly as advertised., stone felt smooth to the touch! , as a matter of course i flatten all stones using a 600 grit wet & dry paper until the surface is flat / feels smooth , i then run over again with slurry stone (another coti) & rinse under the tap ! whilst this isn't advertised for Razors specifically i intended to use this for touch ups on my Dovo.. the initial feed back even with a decent slurry is like its on pebbles albeit very small ones .. with only water this is more pronounced... as far as the grit rating goes , i under stand the figures mentioned are for comparison only, as natural stones are not uniform and vary greatly, but this example isn't in the 6-8K range when compared to a synthetic for example, it also isn't a fast stone.. at least not as a razor hone , i use very light pressure and compared to a higher grit synthetic examples , say a shapton glass that moves metal very quickly... this one doesn't.. this may very well be just my example , but i suspect this will be a ideal small stone for cutlery & pockets knives , but based on my experience so far i wouldn't recommend this for a straight razor as a finisher ! again at this price point i wasn't expecting miracles ... for the money id say this is a nice , handy size whetstone for pocket knives and general cutlery , i have not experience with chisels or planes / work working tools so i wont comment ..
