A. Gift For You (Washington dc)
Cons: This is a water stone so it will wear faster than arkansas stones.
Also, you can't use oil it will ruin the stone.
Pros: Provides a deadly sharp edge, just perfect.
Also polishes using the slurry tht "forms" when using.

Versatility (1000 and 6000 grit i.e.medium and fine)
Now for those complain about the 1000 grit being too small compared to the 6000, I don't use the 1000 at all, I have a diamond sharpening system thatSmith's DFPK Diamond Precision Knife Sharpening Kit sets the bevel perfect and even makes it nearly razor sharp. The 6000 polishes it and makes it razor sharp (yes i've shaved the hair on my arm and leg numerous times to check the sharpness and also cuz its fun to shave with a tactical hunting knife!)
Every one needs the smith sharpening system, it's beautiful, perfect, inexpensive.
This stone gives u an extra kick from ur blade:) I recommend watching some knife sharpening videos for those of you who need to learn some technique, trust me you need to watch LOTS of different videos from different sources :) you will learn a lot as I have.

If you're looking for the ultimate sharpening system, this isn't it. If you're looking for an inexpensive but serviceable water stone set to learn hand sharpening, then it doesn't get much better. The bang for your buck is hard to beat.
1000/6000 is a good combination for knives that need a basic tune-up (I have used this to put a wicked edge on everything from a 2.5" Swiss army knife to my 8" Wusthof). The grit selection is a compromise when it comes to other tasks, though - 1000 is perhaps a little too fine (slow) for re-tipping or re-beveling, and 6000 is too rough to get a surgical sharp edge like you might need on a straight razor.

The product works great... with wet surface creates that nice "schmeer" as supposed to be. I have still to hone in my technique but gave a very fine sharpening. It does it up the stone, but that's ok for my home use and 12 or so knifes. I like the whole "ritual" anyway. Only con, it should come with a base for that price point.
 Arrived broken. Twice. April 28, 2010

I was unable to use this product. On the first one I received the white 6000 grit part was broken on both sides. On the replacement one end was broken off.
Amazon was great at sending the replacement and issuing a refund at the end.

Never sharpened a knife before and this is my first waterstone. 1000 grit and 6000 grit is a nice combo. Used it for the first time with ok results. With practice and improved technique I'm sure I can get better results. Priced reasonably and should last a long time. 5 stars.
Also, this particular stone is made in Japan also, not China junk.
