An excllent finish whetstone, if it's what you need
By Michael A. Duvernois
The super-fine 6000 grit is perfect for putting a mirror-like finish on your Japanese style knife. The resulting finish is smooth enough to let sticky items like tomato slices pull cleanly away. The 1000 grit is a typical finish grit in many sharpening kits. Therefore this is not all that you need to sharpen your knives. You also need a rougher, perhaps 600 or so, grit for the first sharpening steps. (Unless you follow sushi chef fashion and sharpen every single evening!) The Shun logo adds to the price of this item, if you just need a whetstone, they're available at a variety of price points...

By Nathan A. Price
The first knife I used this on was my Kershaw pocket knife with a CPM-D2 hardened steel blade. I've had the knife for awhile and the blade finally wore down enough to where I needed to sharpen it. Hard steel is great for holding an edge for a long time, but it is a royal PIA to sharpen effectively. I tried all the typical knife sharpening gadgets and none of them worked worth a crap. This water stone worked amazingly well. I will say that the 1000 grit side is probably too fine to get rid of any nicks or blade imperfections, but my blade was in good shape, just dull. I used the technique according to the directions where I pushed and then pulled at the appropriate angles. I worked each edge back and forth for quite awhile, slowly but surely bringing back the edge. The 6000 grit finishing side brought out a polished shine to the edge that is far better than it came from the factory. It is also sharper than it was from the factory without a doubt. It took a lot of work on the stone, but that is understandable considering the grit and the hardness of the steel I was working with.I also used it on our Global Santoku knife and it is now back to being as sharp as it was brand new.I wish I would have saved all my money on all the typical knife sharpening gadgets and bought this from the beginning. It may not be as convenient and requires soaking in water and some cleanup, but the results are well worth it.

I watched some youtube video's closely and started on knives I wasn't as fond of, but once I got the hang of it I was able to sharpen my Shuns & Wustorffs as well as or better than new.
