One of the best finishing sharpening stone

Purchased this as a whim. I already own the 1000/1500/2000/5000 stones and these do a superb job of creating a razors edge on my knives. The 8000 grit stone gives the final edge a highly polished look, whether it improves the sharpness is up for debate. Did I really need this stone, probably not, but this is nothing like other 8000 grit standard whetstones, it is far superior and more like a 10000/12000 regular grit stone in my opinion.

An excellent waterstone which I use for achieving a mirror finish. I currently follow this by stropping with a balsa/leather strop, but I am not sure this last step is really necessary.

Very pleased. Quickly gets you to a very, very fine cutting edge with highly reflective polish. Exactly what I was hoping for, just does the job very well. You could go finer than this of course but this will get you a very fine cutting edge straight off this stone.

For the price, this 8000k stone is a very good buy, leaves an almost perfect mirror and is a joy to sharpen on. I prefer this one over the Naniwa Snow, wich i didn't think i would!
