Diamond 3000 Stone Kit

This is a smaller sized 1000/3000 combo stone, designed for chefs who need a portable sharpening option. Though it's not a splash-and-go stone, it does soak rather quickly and provides good cutting speed and tactile feedback. Though the finishing stone is only 3000 grit, it leaves a great polish and a very nice toothy edge appropriate for many kitchen tasks. The 3000 side also makes a great touch-up stone.

Natural stones from this region are rich in silica, which acts as a main abrasive. The potential finish can improve with extended sharpening, with results depending on the stone hardness, the pressure you use during sharpening, water, etc. 

This stone should be used like a splash and go stone... add just enough water to lubricate the surface, but not too much.  The goal is to develop mud, so keeping the surface very wet is prohibitive to mud development.
