(790g) ***The stone is removable from the wooden block, the weight of the whetstone is not included the wooden block*** 183mmX58mmX28-33mm It is used old stone, and it looks the former owner had used oil to sharpen, so it has remained the oil somehow. #4000 to #6000 for medium range in the fine grit for high carbon blade It looks it is not too hard and not too soft, and it is not finest grit in the fine grit stone, but it is fast cut and it is mid-range in the fine grit stone. It comes with an wooden block. Hardness-------------8.5 It raises very good amount of black slurry quickly. I felt it is fast cut stone. It looks that it does not need tomo nagura or the device to produce the slurry (worn Diamond lapping stone).
