I don't know these stones at all other than the 20k but ceramic can mean a lot of things. The Spyderco UF is ceramic but baked. It's grit composition is fairly coarse 1-2k IIRC but used as a polisher.

You'll need to update us on first uses.

I’ll be happy to! According to the store, they take about two weeks before even shipping! I did get expedited shipping though, so hopefully in three weeks?

Either way, I can tell you what I think all day long when they get in, and i’ll Compare em to my other stones, but if there any “definitive” tests I can do without breaking a stone, let me know.

I've been seeing them on a site that has them for more than a year, and I've been wondering how do they work. And for I guess you, to test them and let us know if it's something we'll like.
Like, double and interchangeable? The diamond plate too, would it be any better than the classic go-to diamond plate I know, Atoma? (I know, there are the US and Canada brands like DMT & Eze-lap that are more common in the west but for me the shipping makes them as expensive as the atoma, while being less "indestructible", let's not talk about that now though, the above stones is what matters).

For the Japanese, mimicking a Jnat with a synthetic is sometimes a manufacturing goal. From the description of using very little water these sound a bit in that category, if they are very hard . 800/6000 does sound aimed at knife sharpening but that's all good.
