Bought Gesshin stone

[BillHanna]

I’m a stupid man. A while back, @Corradobrit1 sold a stone I should have bought. I’ve regretted it since. So here’s what I’m looking for

400, 600, 1000, or 4000.

Just one of them, for now. Thanks.

I have the 400x (320) soaking stone, but I won’t be home until next week if you’re interested.

1/6K Combo?

If you could only have one, the 2k is pretty fantastic. Fast as a 1k, very even and feels great to use. When I asked Jon for his one and done pick, this was it. I can get hanging hair cut off this stone without stropping, but still cut meat all day long.

That said I haven't used any others, but it's a consideration for your list. It's a weird in-between grit, but it rocks.

So I’m eventually gonna have a 400 or 600, 1k, and a 4k. If I can get them used at a decent thickness, then awesome. If not, I’ll buy the XLs of the ones I don’t get secondhand.

I have a 400 and a 1k I would be very willing to part with.
I need a couple of days to dig them out of storage and take pictures and what not.
They are both "well used".

Just to be clear, this was the stone I was referring to.

I bought it to see how I would like a soaking stone and it’s just not for me. It probably used about 5mm. It’s dished but I can flatten if you like. $50 shipped sounds right I think?

mill get you pictures at the end of the week when I get back from vegas

he says this cause he ain't tried the 4k yet.

What did you end up with Bill?

 

[BillHanna]

400 and 1K from @KCMande. Already used the 400 on this stupid Mercer petty the wife loves. It cuts again.

All hail low grits for cheap stainless. Using an SG500 for my partner's family's knives, working great.
