If you are buying one stone, this is the one. #1000 on one face takes a dull edge back to sharp; #6000 on the other polishes it to the point where it will pare end grain cleanly.

It is a soaking stone. Five to ten minutes in water before use, and it should not be left permanently submerged or stored wet in a freezing shop. The bond is soft, which is why it cuts fast and forgives poor technique, and also why it dishes and needs flattening regularly.

Japanese grit numbers are not the same scale as US ones. A Japanese #1000 sits around a US 400–600.
