Though it's an odd hone as despite the low price it's a flat, continuous surface unlike the diamond-pattern ones you see all around. It's some gimmicky TV thing from China or something with a pull-through sharpener on the handle. I like it because I can hang it up in the kitchen and generally abuse it. No worries if I need to replace it.
Though I'm fairly certain if I tried to lap full-size stones I'd kill it in short order. The hard slate ones especially. Also I don't trust it to be perfectly flat.
