It's interesting to see all the different experiences with all the stones that we discuss. Personally, I just do not like honing on little stones much either, although I would add that this little stone will also work with the one stone honing method too. I find myself lately judging all the finishing stones I try against the results from the Escher because it provides such nice results consistently.
Have fun,
