The whole Shapton kit was out for demo and it's just fantastic. The flattener was a breeze to use, the ponds make a good base, and the holders do their job well. Can I afford it? HAHAHA no way. I'll buy more glasstones for sure though.
By the way he had the new gray stone in 4k and it did seem a little different. This is the one meant for the Japanese carbon steels. I'm no expert, but I would say the overall "feel" of it is different compared to the regular glasstones. It seems to "feel" a bit more like a standard ceramic stone, but it definitely cuts like the other glasstones. I ended up accidentally sharpening an SV30 knife on it, and it was not really a good match.
