Yes +1. I have found that the Escher is the only stone that compares to my guangxi, phig, or whatever you want to call it. I have not compared to a fine expensive natural Japanese stone but I'm sure...

Exactly. What I look for is not a grit rating but how does it fit in with other stones and what kind of an edge do I wind up with if its a finisher. The two closest edges were a thuri and a naniwa...

Yes. I figure it is the same with any natural out there. Most are great, a few are bad, and a few are magical. It's the magical ones that you want to hold on to.

This is why I would NEVER sell my Guangxi stone. It was fate that we came together :)

Sounds like jimmywetshaver gave you a heck of an offer there. Ild send it to him. I used wet dry sand paper up to 2k and then used my slurry stone to finish off the polish.
