Would you touch your SR's to this as a bevel setter?

There's a thread here that may help you out.

I did come across that thread however it has a couple of points that make me think it is about a different company.

Lynn says "I believe that is the 1K I just tested. Fairly expensive for a 1K. "

The one I linked to above is about as inexpensive as they come. The rest of the thread is more along the lines of finishing stones.

Thank you.

I'm assuming they're made by the same company...maybe more of a "budget" line of sorts. I'm sure someone else will come along with more experience on them and help out

Suehiro ships a small version of this stone in their Debado and Gokumyo series of hones.
In that size it is meant as a dressing stone(cleaning stone) for the harder and finer hone it ships with.

I have only seen the smaller one in person, and it is a very porous and chippy material.
It will drink water like crazy, yet crumble while soaked for any longer period of time.

In short then, no, I would not put any of my razors on these.
