It yields slurry easily. It is a good stone to fit between the Aoto and the finish stones.

I have been discussing an upgrade for that spot (the Tomae) with So.
my 330mate Aoto turned out as fine as my 1k, but I am ok with that I got it cheap. I am talking to So about a stone to fill the 3k - finisher gap too.
