A combination stone is great for its budget-friendliness and ease of storage and transport. This combination stone has both medium and fine side, which are perfect categories for finishing wide ranges of knives. 

Recommended usage: This is a splash-and-go stone, meaning no soaking prior to usage necessary. The main usage for this stone is for touch ups and regular maintenance of the cutting edge. The #1200 side is speedy and offers good feedback. This is a nice grit range to leave your daily workhorse knives, butchery knives, and other low-end blades. The #4000 feels creamy and creates toothy edges well, perfect for finishing knives with high-quality steels or slicers. We highly recommend this stone for budget-conscious cooks who are looking to maintain edges on a regular basis.
