This 6000 grit stone is great to finish your edges on carbon or powdered stainless steel knives. It leaves a nicely polished edge and with lots of elbow grease can be used to polish bevels. Being a splash and go stone, its super quick to hone your knives every few days without setting up a soaking basin and keep your knives razor sharp, and away from the lower grit stones for longer. While I don't always recommend taking German steels up to this high of a grit, this #6000 is an exception and leaves surprisingly good edges on such knives, be sure not to spend too long on them or you might polish all the tooth out!
