Pros

It works so quickly it's unreal. Works great, but just have to clean it bit a bit of cleanser after every use. This is a keeper for sure.

An inexpensive sharpal strop is a good option, and the green (chromium oxide) compound works just fine. It's probably unnecessary, but i usually finish with a few strokes on a hardwood strop treated with green compound, and am very pleased with the sh...  Read More

Flat enough for knife sharpening, chisel sharpening. Can be lapped flat on a diamond stone if you're willing to put in the time.

It is a bit pricier up front, but you will save money by skipping lesser stones. Worth every penny.

This is a high quality stone however even the medium stone is more of a finishing stone or polishing stone than a “sharpening” stone. Perfect for finishing on most kitchen knives and random use edc's where i want a smoother finish than the dmt fine, b...  Read More

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness

Ironically i have never sharpened a spyderco knife with it

    I am not sure why it is more efficient

    If you want something faster with no maintenance you can get a diamond stone

    The ultra fine stone is just that barely removes any material


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Grit is less useful a concept when dealing with such a hard stone


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is a great stone if you just need to sharpen your knives but not to reprofile


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That you would need a coarser stone


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Buyers should be aware of three things i there are faster stones available ii the fine and ultrafine cut very slowly these are mainly polishing stones for the final stages of honing and iii these stones rarely come flat


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you are only sharpening knives flatness may not be an issue
