Steelex D1068 Japanese Water Stone 1000 Grit

The Steelex D1068 Japanese Water Stone 1000 Grit is a high-quality sharpening stone that measures 3/4" x 2-7/8" x 8-1/4". It requires soaking in water before use and comes without a base or nagura stone. Users have found it easy to use, and some have been using it for years, with no issues. It's a medium grit stone, so it's not suitable for re-profiling a bevel or removing chips from a knife edge. However, it works well for re-sharpening knives that have already been sharpened. Users have found the price to be a bit high, but it's still a good value for its quality.
