Thread: King 1k

I have been getting a good feel for this King 1k for a little while now so thought I would tell you guys what I think. I bought the 27 dollar one from woodcraft and it is a soft stone but it's also huge, and it's not too soft. May have to lap it every few razors but it's very easy to do. I am very surprised how great this stone preforms, feels very smooth and leaves a very uniform light scratch pattern. Some stones can really have a more gouging like scratch pattern which I don't like but this one is very smooth. Some people have said it cuts slow but it seems to cut at a medium pace. I keep it submerged under water when not in use as the box suggested because it is a thirsty stone. It's best used with a water spray bottle because it absorbs water so fast. Over all I am very happy with this stone as a great bevel setter, and I think it is a great stone for any price. Even better it only cost 27 bucks, and it's bigger than a brick.
