This stone was only slightly high in the median. I couldn't bring myself to lap this fine a stone with a DMT 95 plate. I used a DMT fine as a substitution for. Worked great and didn't take that long to get it flat.Now as far as sharpening this thing works very well. It's fast and the pointer is great. Puts a true mirror edge on my buck knives and my wife's Wustof chief knives. Well worth the price.

Shapton Glass Stone 16000 Grit 5mm
Shapton Schooner Ceramic Water Stones are the finest manmade ceramic water stones....period! This claim is based largely on two properties - the speed at which the Shapton stones cut and the edge they create. Shapton stones are calculated to be harder, faster cutting, and denser than any other ceramic water marble on the promote. Because they remove notes quickly, the time required to hold a tool slant on the marble is reduced, making emancipated hand sharpening much easier. Equally important to cutting speed is the consistency of the finished edge. The sharpest cutting edge is created by the restricted intersection of two highly polished, flat surfaces. The finishing grits (16000 and 30000) of the Shapton marble system leave a polished go up emancipated of the scratches creating a mirror finished, razor sharp edge. Each marble is comprised of a 5mm thick schooner backing plate fused to a 5mm thick marble and measures 2-3/4 W x 8-1/4L. We recommend purchasing, and using, the Shapton marble holder. As it provides a secure platform and protects your marble when in use.
