I'm not sure the grit numbers are exactly right but they are close enough for me. This keeps all my knives perfectly ridiculously sharp.

The media could not be loaded.  While I received this stone for free, at $32.99 this stone is still a bargain. Consisting of two sides--2000 and 5000 grit, respectively--the Tough Tepko allows you to sharpen an edge after a mere five minutes of soaking. It arrives carefully packaged in cardboard and bubble wrap to avoid breakage, but also has both a non-slip rubber base for sharpening use and two edge bumpers for the top that protect the stone when in storage. I made quick work of getting a slight nick out of the edge of my Mora Companion using this stone. A little more surface area might be nice for larger blades, but I am used to working with this size of stone and so had no issues. Long-term durability is something I will update in the future, as it remains a question mark.  Read Less

I have many other products to sharpen knives, diamond plates, worksharp, lansky system, strops and etc. I have been wanting a good whetstone for a while because, first, there are many ways you can sharpen a knife, each way has its own pros and cons, and second, you want to find the one that you are like the best and learn how to do it until you master it.I always wanted to give a try with a whetstone but I didn't know which one to buy, there are just so many options on the internet and youtube reviews that it made it hard to choose one.So a friend of mine told me about the whetstone he got on amazon from Tough Tepko, and how he really likes how it performs. So I gave it a shot.For my first try, I wanted to sharpen three of our kitchen knives which were way past due for a sharpening session and after following the instructions, the knives were very sharp if you consider that it was my first time using whetstone. And I think I can give it a hair popping edge if I keep practicing. Can't wait to go back home and give them another session tonight. Very good product !  Read Less
