This is a nice wide fast cutting yet slow wearing coarse stone. It leaves a fine finish in this grit range and is an excellant 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.
