Tools and Hardware Reviews of Woodstock SteeleX D1130 1000 Grit and 6000 Grit Japanese Waterstone
Customer Review: First waterstone
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted to try using a water stone after using Arkansas stones for a while. I chose this stone because it was very cheap. I ordered it from amazon, and it arrived perfectly fine. I took a star off because the 6k side was convex when it arrived. This was the manufactures issue because the stones were not cut flat. But it sharpens very fast and nicely. the 6k puts a very nice final edge on a knife.Customer Review: Good Product Great Service

This is just what my husband wanted. It works well, and is very durable.
The company is really great too, we had to re-route the package and without there help and patience with me it would have never happened. Thank you for the great service.

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.
Customer Review: Great Stone

Great stone at a great price. Just fits my 2" plane iron. Made in Japan. Plane iron will shave hair. I recommend it. It wears quickly so make sure you keep it flat.Customer Review: Great Stone for sharpening!
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a wonderful waterstone. i would recommend anyone to try one of these. USE WATER (H2O) only on these stones, once you add oil to it, its never the same. i use it to sharpen almost everything. my kitchen knives, box cutter blades, and thats just about it, but if you need a edge on it, u can do it with these stones just as long as they are not super dull. they leave a very nice mirror like edge on it. to use it, soak it in water for atleast 30 mins, fully submerged (i have mine always soaked in a plastic tub with a lid so its available to use anytime i need it). it will start to bubble up right away showing that the traped air in is is getting overrun by water. if the blade still has a bit of an edge to it, just use the white part. but if its dull, start with the red side, so that you can put a edge back on. if your skilled enough (of have a precision tool), you can make blades sharp enough to shave the hair right off your skin.
