Bester 1200x WaterStone

This is a nice wide fast cutting yet slow wearing coarse stone. It leaves a fine finish in this grit range and is an excellent stone (unlike the King 1200x) to start off a normal sharpening session with as it cuts a bevel quickly. I find it to provide great feedback and ease in feeling the bevel which helps in holding the knife steady and staying level.

Requires 30 min. soak time in water before use.

Size - 210 x 75 x 25mm

Very nice and durable	April 19, 2011
Reviewer: Vincent Edwards from Bloomington, IN United States

This stone stays in the bucket 24/7 and is ready at a moment's notice. Nice harder surface stands up well to aggressive cutting. It requires a bit more pressure than the Norton 1000x I used prior to this stone, but it's also slower wearing and leaves a slightly sharper edge. I use it following a DMT coarse diamond stone or 120x grinding wheel (for woodworking chisels and plane irons, not nice japanese knives) and it removes coarser scratches quickly. If I don't have any nicks in the blade this is usually the first stone I use when sharpening knives.
