You just gave me an idea. Maybe if I throw the king in the fire, it may actually*cut some steel! Lol. That's the secret then, thanks fellas!

I hated mine. The sad thing is a Naniwa was only $15 bucks more.

Dunno what you guys are are on about, the king is a great stone you just have to keep it saturated with a surface water and use very light pressure. I get great results off the king and personally don't like faster cutting stones.

What is the approximate grit rating of the coal?

Should it be used with or without slurry, or can I do both?
If so, can I do one coal honing?
At this point in time, is there a video?

As a learner six months into it who, over the next year, might need to set four or five edges, I like the deliberate nature of the King 1k. Following the "Shave off a 1K" thread I neatly elevated a few razors from scars to stars starting with a King 1k with no drama and no rush. Fast doesn't figure in for me; slow can be a benefit.
