Pride Abrasive 6000 Grit Water Stone

Pride Abrasive water stones are the result of combining 40 years of experience and knowledge with a desire to make the best water stones ever produced. They succeeded and the outcome is a quality water stone that sharpens quickly, provides great feedback, holds up well and produces a nice working edge.

The Pride Abrasive 6000 Water Stone is the nicest 6000 grit stone we've used.
Like the other Pride stones, it removes steel at a very fast rate. It is the fastest working 6000 grit water stone we have ever tested yet provides the polished you expect from a 6000 grit stone. It is fast enough that you can jump directly from the 1000 to the 6000 grit stone yet hard enough that it retains it's flatness well.
Pride Abrasive water stones are well priced, sharpening quickly, hold up well and leave an edge you expect from a premium water stone.
They are in a class with high grade Japanese waterstones like Sigma and Shapton Glass Stones.  They perform better than Norton, Bester/Imanishi, Chosera and cheaper imported stones.
Having sharpened with every major brand of water stone, we can say the Pride water stones deserve to be classed with the best of them. Their combination of speed, durability and finish is as good or better than any we have used.
They cut premium tool steels like A2, D2, O1 quickly and their finish is what you should expect from their given grit level.
Like any good water stone, they should be soaked in water for 10-15 minutes prior to use.
You will not be disappointed with this water stone. Made in Bristol Wisconsin, USA.
