The 1000 grit side is 'nearly splash and go' and the 6000 is genuinely splash and go, as far as I can make out - both sides have excellent cutting properties (they're very quick to work with). This combination gives me both excellent shaping and sharpening as well as a pretty fine mirror finish. It's also allowed me to refine my sharpening technique so my results have gone from 'hair-popping sharp' to 'hair-popping sharp, pretty and with a durable edge'. Bottom line: If I knocked it off the bench and it got smashed, I'd buy the same stone again.

Soaked for recommended time then went to work on my kitchen knives. Within half an hour I was left with a nice sharp edge. Shaved arm hairs with out a problem. Look out tomato here I come!

A nice, solid whetstone. 1000 grit delivers a decent edge with a bit of work, and 6000 brings up a nice, polished edge.

Looks and feels like a reasonably good sharpening stone - includes a plastic table top holder to give a stable work platform and it's large enough for most domestic kitchen knifes.
