It takes forever to polish an edge, it's very hard. Woodcraft also sells a Japanese combi water stone, 1200-8000 for $50. So I could keep the Chinese 12K and also buy the Japanese stone or I could return the 12K and buy a 4K/8K Norton. I can only afford another $50 but I'll get $30 back for the Chinese stone. The question is, what will serve me best? One 4K/8K Norton or a Japanese 1200/8000 plus the 12K??? Both choices cost $80.
