Update International G-0208 Silicon Carbide Combination Sharpening Stone, 8-Inch

The lighter side is 240 grit, the darker side is 120 grit. It worked well when sharpening my butcher knife. I used this stone for abrasion/steel removal, and another stone for polishing the edge.

It's true, the box says aluminum, not silicon carbide, but I don't know the difference. The two sides (one gray, one blue) are only slightly different grains so close, I wish they were labeled. It's solid and a nice size, long enough to get a good stroke going on a fairly long knife easy to use for this amateur at knife sharpening.

This had to be replaced because the first one arrived broken into many pieces. It does sharpen the knives OK, but not sure how good a job it does as the knife seems to need sharpening more often than I thought it would need.

I ordered what I thought would be a silicon carbide, but the box sent was aluminum carbide. While this isn't so bad from a value point of view (they should cost pretty close to the same amount), I hate hate HATE getting something that I didn't order, ESPECIALLY when I ordered it for someone else!! :( Fix it, Amazon!
