Pros & Cons
Pros
This takes a lot of the effort out of hand planning, and makes using your chisel a lot easier. Great for putting the chrome like polish onto your knives. My only concern with using this is that i have had a habit of springing leaks in my fingers brush... Read More
This one completes my sharpening system based on rob cosman's recommendations. It's nice and wide which makes sharpening a 2 wide plane iron really easy. I still need to learn how to use it bette.
I got one of these finally, it is a beast on the plane blades, mirrored edges in about 10 strokes. It leaves a mirror finish razor sharp plane blade. The surface finish left behind is silky smooth with a slightly glossy sheen.
Cons
I'm guessing it's a matter of user error on my part, have decided to hold onto the stone, and work with it to see if i can improve my experience by trying out some different techniques. It is also extremely fragile. Won't buy another one again.
Highlights
Quality
I was very pleased with the edge

Buy it if you got the cash you wont be disappointed
Price
Also it was a very good price
Wow i hope this lasts at this price

Nice and flat sexy packaging and does a great job to finish off right before final hone on a leather strop
My routine usually goes trend diamond stone to flatten the shapton 6000 and 16000 stones
So i turned it loose on the shapton 16000 and ive achieved a level of sharpness thats considerably more keen than anything ive ... Read More
I go from 1200 diamond for primary right to the shapton for the micro bevel

It only takes 6 to 8 light strokes to put a shave ready edge that just needs a light stropping on a razor

If it just needs a touch up for planning hardwood i put the iron in the jig im not good enough to freehand take it to the 6000 for 810 strokes then to the 16000 for 68 strokes
