Neat price ($35 on special) for a 6000 grit waterstone of this size in Perth. Sure as hell beats the $116 for the larger S-1 stone sold at Wellington Surplus which you can get from Japan Tool for $46.
I hate bonded plastic bases for sharpening stones, they don’t easily fit most rubber stone holders and they flex under pressure.
I like this stone, very easy to use. It’s soft but it cuts even at its 6K level, and depending on how much you soak the stone you can achieve different cut-polish results.
On single bevel Japanese knives, it can achieve a foggy (kasumi) finish depending on the softness of the jigane.
This stone will be superseded by a medium finishing natural stone sourced from So at Japan Tool.
