Not so good for value, $35 for this stone that's size is similar to the Masahiro stones. Very irritatingly narrow stone to use especially with the bonded plastic base. Glazes over easily but provides a bright near mirror polish with some scratches especially with stainless steel knives. Very soft and dishes easily.
I’m about to use it up all the way down to the plastic base soon, and since the base is getting in the way of easy sharpening knives, I’ve reserved it to sharpen with woodwork chisels and plane blade.
Being replaced with the Shapton Japanese GlassStone 4K, big difference jumping to that high density, ceramic sharpening stone.
