My 5k shows small cracks at the top edges and you can feel them with a fingernail. I wish I could give you (and me) some encouraging words, but I'm in the dark as it were, as much as you are. Whether these cracks will relegate the stone to an expensive paper weight, be inconsequential, or even if it can be returned for a replacement is unknown to me.

I do know that holli4pirating (SRP member) posted of his 1k Chosera developing cracks years ago. Mine, bought shortly thereafter never has. AFAIK he is still using his 1k cracks and all, with good results.



The first two photos are the honing surface with the cracks pretty much at the edges, while the last photo show the bottom with the cracks apparently all across the surface, but not deep. Cannot feel them with the fingernail. Seems to me to be a defect in the mix. Maybe the binder ?
