    No review because nobody own one, the first two stone are leaving Tuesday and I think we have to wait some weeks before to read something about.
    Be patience please.

    A good 1000 grit natural stone is very hard to find. I will be watching this thread.

    More importantly. Consistence of grit level in this group of hones is not reliable at all.

    The thing that you have to consider is that this is not an hone stone, this is a bevel setter, that make his job after 15/20 strokes,after that, you move on next stone which is an hone stone, and follow your hone progression, 4000/8000/12000 and more.

    I looked about this stone, it has history as a sharpening stone-hone, so I suppose, it has to be consistent. Not every natural stone is unreliable. Some of them are really good, finishers or coarser stones.

    I love natural stones (not all of then tho) and it will be fun to try this stone out!

    Yes, it's a great stone, if a bit slow. Hard, porous, with nice scratch pattern. I like it.

    I may have got a duff sample, but mine was incredibly slow, so slow that I would never use it, least of all as a bevel setter.

    I did try it as it came, lapped to 325 grit, and lapped so as to open up the surface of the stone, but this made little or no difference.

    Regards,
    Neil

    I have used a scope, not that that means anything, but 1k scratches I have found are not felt on the skin, even 1200 dmts unless you are riding the blade with lots of pressure. So my opinion of it is(my opinion means jack as YMMV as always) why slow it down and give yourself more work when you can use a synthetic likea chosera or other and get er done faster? Anyway my 2 cents. But curiosity is a given in the hobby.
