Anyone have experience with Naniwa economy stones?

[Ernie1980]

I was looking for a new set of waterstones and came across these:

The price seems almost too good to be true, does anyone have experience with them? If so, how would they compare with the norton waterstones that I am using now?

Thanks!

The prices are not too good to be true it's just a very basic stone. You get what you pay for with stones so I wouldn't expect too much greatness at this level. Your Nortons are likely better.

A step up would be a Shapton Pro/Glass or Naniwa Chosera/professional.

Ok thanks for the insight!
