They shed diamonds and they leave way too deep scratch patterns for my liking, compared to its relative grit size.
I degraded them to my kitchen knifes after a while, but now they have been replaced with other, and much better hones, for that too.
In my opinion, they are inferior products and poorly made.
Clearly, YMMV :)
