Great for keeping good knives really sharp May 18, 2008
By Power Surfer, NJ
This is a great stone if you know how to sharpen knives correctly and never let your knives get really dull or badly nicked. I've had one in my kitchen for 30 years. The coarse side is just right for putting the edge back on. The fine side polishes it really sharp. The stone never seems to load up with filings, which stay suspended in the oil.

 A good stone Jan 02, 2011

It does take practice, but this stone works fine. I use 3 in 1 oil and am able to get a very sharp edge on my Chicago Cutlery chefs knife.

Excellent Stone Jun 05, 2010
By lazlong
I've had a similar Norton stone for over 20 years, and it's still in service today (That one was made in USA. This one in Mexico). I bought this one to bring with me to Iraq, because the cook is always dulling the kitchen knives, and I like 'em sharp when I cook.
As the other reviewer said, if you know how to sharpen a knife properly, this is one of the best stones on the market.
I've tried just about every gimmick "sharpening system" on the market, and I still always go back to my two-sided Norton stone. A good butcher's steel is also a must have item. My dad was a butcher, and he taught me the art of sharpening knives. It takes practice and perseverance, but it really pays off when you get a quality edge on a good knife. Keep it touched up with the steel, and you'll seldom have to take the stone out of the drawer.
Great aluminium Oxide stone May 17, 2012
By Janice W. Godwin
Why it is called an "India" stone I have not a clue.
However Norton is about the biggest name in abrasives so you'd expect them to get it right. And they do.
Bought this specifically to sharpen my garden tools. Does a good job on steak knives too.
Preoiled so your honing oil does not just disappear into a dry stone It would benefit from a wooden holding block for smaller items. But these are easy to obtain.
