Hi guys!
I would like to start a sharpening stone passaround within the next week or so. I'm wondering which stone everyone would prefer.

I can passaround a specific grit or a double sided stone.

media.nl


The Mizuyama stone grits are: #1000, 1200, 2000, 3000, 5000 and 6000.
The double sided stone has #1000 and 6000.

Preparation
  • Soak the #1000 grit side for 15 minutes or more.
  • Wet the #6000 grit side with a splash of water.
Please do not soak the entire stone, because it will lower the quality of the stone or split.

If you would like to be included in the passaround, please sign up here. I would also really appreciate it, if people would write their reviews on our website as well. :)
 
Thank you Mari - I'd like to try the 6k as well.
 
I'd love to try it! I've been wanting to check out the Mizuyama 1k for a while.
 
I would like to check out the 1k too, but have not tried any Mizuyama so I would be game for any.
 
I've already got the 1k and 5k,...otherwise, I'd be in!
 
Good news! I was able to get 2 stones (the double sided and #6000 stone) approved to be passed around, so we don't have to choose. :D

#6000 stone passaround:
1. brainsausage
2. Mike9
3. Cclin

Double sided stone:
1. Crothcipt

@ tk59 and EdipisReks, which would you prefer? :)
@ BurkeCutlery and kalaeb : Is the double sided stone okay? It has the 1000 grit on it.
 
Yeah, I think it's better. Two birds, one stone.

Literally.

I hunt birds with whetstones.
 
List now...

I would like to try the double trouble one! Thanks for making this available!
 
Awesome :D
No no, my pleasure. I hope you guys like it. It's the stones Mr. Sugai uses exclusively, so I can't imagine it'd be disappointing. Anyways...

May I ask you all to PM me your addresses and phone numbers (just in case).

Thanks!
 
I guess I'm not a big fan of combo stones so I'll try the 6k.
 
Friendly reminder:
Please do not soak the entire double sided stone when preparing it. Only soak the 1000 grit side in shallow water for 15 minutes+ , and splash water on the 6000 grit side before use.

Because the 6000 is much finer, it has potential to split and crack from the 1000 side if soaked. Also soaking a 6000 stone will lower the quality of the stone. I know there are a lot of different types of stones out there, but please follow the instructions written on the slip in the box.

Thanks! :)
 
For real don't soak the 6000 grit side. I have that stone and the 6000 grit stone is broken in pieces from soaking and not even for that long.
Good stone if treated properly:2cents:

Fun pass around:D
