Review: Great waterstone - I purchased this after realizing I needed a medium grit stone in between my coarse dry stone and my King Ice Bear 4000 Grit Waterstone . This stone functions flawlessly. Out of the box (packaged nicely by KORIN) you will get the stone and some instructions in Japanese. Most of it (from reading the Chinese characters in the text that mean the same in Japanese) regards proper use and safety while using, so I think you'd be fine there. The stone is hefty, more so than you would think. The surface is a lot coarser than my 4000 grit waterstone. One thing to note is that this is a synthetic waterstone, instead of a natural waterstone. This means that this will not produce a slurry like a natural waterstone, will last longer, but cut slower, and is prone to clogging by steel. As I have some time on my hands, I chose this stone. After getting the basic edge shape done with a coarse dry stone, it was time to refine the edge with this. To use this stone, one would flood it with water. I run the tap over it until I can see the water stay on top of the stone instead of disappearing within the depths of the stone. First time sharpening this it worked like a charm. During sharpening some red particulates emerge from the surface and float to the top of the water. This is simply the cutting particles coming loose from the sharpening action and floating away after cutting into the metal. I was able to get the previously crap grind on my Cold Steel Frontier Hawk Hickory Handle into a very nice proper axe grind and a very serviceable convex edge in about half an hour. This stone, while not as fast as a natural stone, worked perfectly for my purposes. Flawless sharpening, flawless cleanup. I further refined the edge with the 4000 grit stone, as I do not own a leather strop. As I will eventually destroy the edge anyway from working on trails, I don't mind not having my tools razor sharp. All in all, this stone was a great purchase. Its size and longevity will ensure that it will be used for a long time, and its effectiveness allows it to remain in my tool box as my primary sharpening stone. Great purchase, and worthwhile for anyone who prefers to hand sharpen their equipment.
Review: Great medium stone for the price. - Great maintenance stone. Has good feedback for a stone this price. It will help get the feel for sharpening. It's not the most wear resisting but it's so thick it will last forever. To reset bevels or repair damaged edges you need a coarser stone, but for touch ups and maintenance this is a great choice!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never Disappointed With KING!
*by D***N on December 17, 2025*

Been using KING for years on my Field and Kitchen Cutlery. They have maintained their quality and am happy with the purchase. Will continue to recommend. This one came at a great price. Should have bought more of this grit but will last me another 2 years at least.
