It really looks like the King stone , but i am noy sure that is a King , relabeled for Makitta .
Comme on dosnt anybody knou about this hone . I cant believe this .

I have seen it on the market too but have not tried it. Maybe I will give it a try. Do you soak it in water before using?

Yes for 2 min. it is very thursty stone , very good also.

I soak my Norton sharpening stones for 10 minutes. Maybe a longer soak time would be even better.

MMMM no it is wrhite on the cartbox 2 min soak . When the air bubles stop , it is ready , and has to be moisten a litle bit in the time of the honing. It cluch with metal a little bit but i rubb him gently with my palm and is ready again .
I suspect it is King Deluxe 1200 grit made for Makitta corp. and relabeled .Pretty good and fast stone . Consistent results with every razor i put on it .

Get the largest one, really almost any stone in the 800-1200 grit range will work.

I would soak it a bit longer. You will know when it is full when you pour water on it and it puddles.

I have been experimenting with a Nubatama 1k and it also is very thirsty and takes a long soak and flooding with a squeeze bottle.

Does look like a King, which is a fine stone. Make sure you lap it.

The Nubatama, btw is a great stone… possibly a new favorite, very hard and fast.

I have wondered about the Nubatama Euclid. Have you used the chosera stones? I've been wanting to know how they stack up to each other.

I've seen the Makita stone before, I just figured most people would purchase it for tool sharpening. Makita makes good poducts IME, I doubt they would put their name on a "bad" stone.

King stone,re-labelled for Makita, and yes they are a good stone. I have the smaller one for planes and chisels. It has both King and Makita printed on the box.

I am very satisfied with this stone , for the prise of 12 euro or 15 - 16 us dolars is a winer and it shapens realy well . I am definetly thinking of buyng more synthethic stones . The results are very consistent , and they work fast , smooth and on every rasor .
I am not sure but this grit size is equal to Norton 4000 maybe .
Anyway , definetly a keeper .
