Razors Edge Fine Hone

[ricklee4570]

Does anybody know what the grit rating is on these stones? They are used dry--which I like. Im looking for some 8 inch hones that are for finishing the edge and these are priced right.
Thanks!

I prefer to get a review from someone other than the people selling it.

Razor Edge rates the coarse stone at 100g and the fine at 400g. In use, the fine leaves a finish that compares around a 1000-1200g sandpaper finish.

Oops....I thought you were only asking for grit rating.....

I would compare it to a white arkansas. It is a hard stone and leaves a nice finish. I have the kit, i don't use the guides all the time but really like the stones.

I like the RazorEdge stones. They will put a nice edge on a knife. I especially like the entire system for sharpening Wharncliff blades. In fact, I've turned several knives into straight edges by mistake using it...

I find the fine stone to give me an edge somewhere around 400-600 grit, as compared with EdgePro stones. Nice enough for general cutting.
