What do you think about it? Have you tried it?

I'm also thinking about a "belgian coticule" stone or maybe a Naniwa 12K stone.

I have both... go for the superstone if you have a choice.

For the price the chinese hone is as good a natural "fine" bargain
hone as you can get. You may want to look in the above Classified to see
if there are still some slurry stones for it available (speed it up). They vary
as all naturals do and the better ones are good slow rocks.
Natural finishers that best it cost 20-50 times as much perhaps more.
True fine natural finishers are rare....

I also have a Naniwa 12K Superstone and it is worth the extra price.
If you can afford it, a Superstone would trump a Chinese12K.
