    Default 2 King 1000's...One cheaper that the other...same thing??

    Can anyone tell me what (if any) the difference is between these two? One is significantly cheaper than the other, and I would definitely jump on the cheaper one if it's a legit King 1000....any input is greatly appreciated!!King Medium Grain Sharpening Stone - #1000 - S: Amazon.com: Kitchen & Dining

    The one without a base is about 2 times thicker, it looks like from the pics.
    Too bad they do not offer dimensions for both.

    EDIT:
    found more info
    the one with the base
    176mmX 52mm X15mm

    the one with no base
    8.2" x 2.6" x 1.3"H (208mm x 66mm x 33mm)

    I know! But for $19 shipped I think I'll give it a try... Hopefully it's the same length/width-wise as the thicker one!

    On second thought I think I'll just spend the extra few $$ and get the bigger one....thx for looking up the dimensions!!

    Yes, I have the one with the base. It measures 18x5cm (7x2") or so. It is smaller and thinner. If I were you I would buy the bigger one.

    I just placed an order for the bigger of the two. I think for a few extra$ it'll be worth it....thanks for the input!
