NOTE!

"Splash-and-Go" stones do not tolerate prolonged storage in water. Use water only as much as the stone requires. Do not submerge the stones in a water basin. After sharpening, immediately wipe the stone clean with a towel. This keeps the stone looking tidy and initiates the drying process. Place the stone where it does not touch a solid surface. Let the stone dry horizontally, for example, by placing it over a pen. Allow the stone to dry slowly and peacefully without additional heating. Do not expose the stone directly to sunlight, and do not let the stone freeze while damp. The drying process takes more than a day. Store the stone protected from impacts, for example, in its box without the possible original foam padding. Please do not put the stone in a plastic bag while still damp.

The best stone I have, I've read bad things about the response, I have no issues with it. I like the feel, I like the speed and the fact that I don't need to soak it.

Nice polishing stone that still gives some good feedback.

Great price performance ratio. Hard fast stone with good shape stability therefore also suitable for chisels or other narrow blades. If you touch the surface with Atoma flattening plate or use a proper Nagura is much faster and nicer to work with and the feedback is better. It will last lifetime for a non Pro home user. Highly recommend.

This stone is hard, true splash&go, verry fast cutting like most Shapton stones, high polish, good results, but low tactile feedback and most important angle consistency and sharpening pressure must be managed verry well, otherwise this stone will crush the apex!
