ABOUT THIS PRODUCT: Imanishi #220
Click to learn more
This large coarse stone is a fantastic workhorse for those that burn through 200-320 grit stones . A great way to start working on very dull or knives with minor damages, and wears slow for a coarse grit stone. We use this stone here at the shop in our sharpening progression and have come to really enjoy it. It is quite thirsty though and we would recommend keeping them soaking in water at all times.
Dimensions: 205x75x50mm

I enjoy using large stones. This Imanishi 220 grit stone is definitely thirsty and thinking of permanently soaking it in water. I use the stone to set the bevel of dull knives or remove chips. Cuts fast with good feedback, it does a great job setting the foundation to progress to the next grit level. I have no problems jumping from 220 to 1000 grit using this stone.

It`s not fun, but it works.
Dishes less than I expected. Is WAY MORE thirsty than I expected. Even permasoaked, if not sealed, it still drinks water fast as hell. Scratch pattern is not so bad for speed. Can't have everything.
From the amount of it, cutting behavior, and dishing factor, it's worth its price amply if you know what you do. It's like a cheap stainless german knife: good to have around for rough jobs, will be repaid for in spades, but you just don't want to use it if you don't need to.
