Hi KKF Fam,

It’s mountain bike season and I’m selling things that don’t see much use to support the hobby.

These are great stones purchased direct from JKI but have been replaced by diamond or naturals at this point.

All were permasoaked and have been drying for the past week in a cool garage. They are used but have plenty of life left. Come with original boxes.

Would prefer to sell all three in one batch and will offer a deal. $100 for all three shipped in US.

Gesshin 220
51mm left in height
Used for one thinning project and a couple repairs. It likes water and moves metal.

Gesshin 4k
24mm left in height
Used as a primary finisher for sharpening and touch ups. Amazing edge for kitchen knives. Some small surface cracks on side I took pics of but nothing impacting performance or stability.

Gesshin 6k resinoid
26mm left in height
A few touch ups and polished a couple stainless knives on it. Good synth polisher for stainless.

How are these stones for a beginner? I currently have one crappy stone off Amazon and am looking into building an arsenal of various grits
I find them to be quite easy to use and really pleasant feeling. I find they polish better if perma soaked but they do just fine for regular sharpening either way.
The 220 you might not have as much use for as a beginner and I only ever break it out for repairs. It dishes fast and needs flattening often.
