Fuji Merchandise K-032#1000#6000 Whet Stone, One Size, Brown

It would seem the seller has payed attention to the negative feedback about packaging. My stone arrived inside its original plastic box and cardboard sleeve, which was wrapped in bubble wrap, which was in a padded jiffy bag, which was inside a cardboard box padded out with card board... Which was in a plastic bag. Needless to say, it came in perfect condition.The stone is of high quality and I got mine for a bargain price, way lower than what this retails for however they seems to have increased the price. Sorry guys... Still a bargain regardless.If you're looking at straight razor honing, this stone is good; don't buy some cheap Amazon stuff as it doesn't work, you need a more expensive stone like this. I'm assuming this applies to high quality knife sharpening also.

My first whetstone arrived well packaged and free from dents even though it came in the Mail. I did wonder why there is no stand for the whetstone but in the end I didn't need it. After watching a few videos on YouTube I embarked on blunting my knives. Soaking the stone in water seemed to do nothing so instead I kept the stone's face wet. The first knife I tried, a Victorinox I have never been able to sharpen, became my sacrificial blade and after 15 minutes it was no better.Next I started on the knives in my knife block. They vary from a couple of Zilling ice hardened, various James Martin brand, a Berndes and a brand new (and horrible as the bolster is too sharp-edged) Taylors Eye Witness. The latter three are santoku style with western edges. I have managed to put a razor sharp edge on them all with the exception of a boning knife as I couldn't work out how to cope with the curve by the bolster and the very thin part at the tip. They all finished with a couple of swipes on a 3 year old Victorinox diamond honing rod that is getting a bit smooth.

Beware there is an import tax. I never buy on amazon so I had no idea that there can be hidden taxes and fees. The post office charged me £20 to collect the item, however the sellers were very understanding and refunded me for it even though they technically didn’t have to.So amazing customer service and a very high quality product too. The stone arrived undamaged and sharpens beautifully.It is quite heavy though and some people have mentioned chipping which didn’t surprise me because the packaging is just some card paper scrunched up in a cardboard box. A little bit of bubble wrap would solve a lot of their chipping issues.

Really good goto stone. KING quality as they always had been.The 1000 grid leaves a bit of material as other reviewers says, but it's not much.

Great whetstone. It came very well packed only downside was that two corners on 6000 grit side was chipped when it arrived. I noticed that previous reviewer had same problem. So that why only 4 stars otherwise for stone itself I would give 5 out of 5.

my first ever proper stone. Took a bit of practice but after watching a few videos on youtube i can now get my knives razor sharp with ease. The 6000 side is quite soft so be careful. Mine arrived with no chips.

Product received after 9 days and in good condition. The KDS is better quality than the KW-65.

The product-sharpening stone is as described, high quality, very well packed and ,as promised, delivered in time.
