I just picked one of these up and as usual i'm noticing strange things. First off the fine side is INSANELY coarse. Not able to get anything but the most basic of working edges off something like this.
Also contrary to what people are saying, my stone is not wear resistant at all. I ran my blade on the edge of the fine side just a bit, and the knife alone chamfered the edge on the stone...
I swear I can feel the grit particles releasing them selves as I sharpen. the stone gets all swarfy and the oil on the knife feels sandy.
Are there fakes out there? I bought from knifeworks, who is very legit but wow, this stone is not acting anything like people are saying on here!
