A great medium grit stone is a must in maintaining quality kitchen knives. This medium grit range is perfect for not only re-setting edges before using finer polishing stones,  but also for creating practical, long-lasting edges on workhorse blades. If you were to have only one stone for most kitchen knife maintenance, it would be this grit.

Recommended usage: This is a splash-and-go stone, meaning no soaking prior to usage necessary. It excels at creating a refined feeling edge for almost all types of steels. It feels a bit finer than other #1000 stones and can load up a bit during hard-pressure usage. This is a versatile stone that works well for both edges and wide bevel applications (try using lots of slurry and light pressure). If you are looking for a versatile, hard wearing stone with ease of usage, this is the one.
