The description lists 3 grit numbers, are one of the two stones double-sided? It's difficult to tell from the picture, Thanks

Yes.. the large green stone is double sided. The white stone is just a solid polishing stone.

Yes the one on the left, blue/green is double sided and the two higher grits (coarse) white one is the fine.

Both sides are used for sharpening. The first one is used for sharpening and I think the second one refines the blade. Best sharpener ive had for the price.

so two people say its double ground (both sides) and two say its only on one side (chisel grind)....so which one is it?

1 side does have a texture to it, the other is smoothe. I don't think it matters, I flip them every once in awhile after cleaning... but that's just me.

It has 2 stones. There isn't a medium one. It doesn't seem to need it. It works well. The first reprints the edge to proper angles then the second smooths it to a nice sharp edge. Used often, the fine side will keep the edge perfectly.

It is a small stone with diamond dust. I use it to touch up the edge on HSS lathe tools, not for heavy use. It would be fine for pocket knives or small edged tools, for example to take off burrs on an end mill or router bit, but not for heavy-duty resharpening. It's nice to have it handy in my machinist chest by the lathe.

Two sided but they're junk don't buy unless you're doing modest stone cutting. I had to buy a small wet saw to cut my stores before tumbling

On any whetstone you should be able to see that one side looks smoother than the other. The finer the grit, the later in the honing process you use it. In this case the lighter side is the finer grit

It doesn't go by grit,but they sharpen very well. The fine stone is good if you don't have any chips, or gouges on the blade. I would get the 6"stone's than the 8". The 8" stone is hard to hold on to.

Yes you do get one of each...Each one has a finer edge. I don't understand what you mean by grit...but I love these. I have been very happy with them. I hope this helps :)

Sorry, the one I received is double sided. Maybe you can just by the good quality kind of double sided if you're certain that what you got is only single sided.

Both sides are polished fairly well. 100%...no...more like 98%. The marble is dense and this item is quite heavy. With the nature of Marble I don't believe 100% is possible. However mine is fairly close

It is indeed double-sided. i really like this piece- inexpensive and beautiful. i use it as a headboard.

Mine also looks like the picture. As SunnieSue said, the granite is speckled.

Yes. Small or large sized blades, the two grits on this stone can take literally any straight edged blade you choose to sharpen. Use the fine grit to hone the edge slightly or put the finishing touches on the blade. Use the courser grit to repair nicks and prepare the edge for the finer grit polishing stage. I have used it for my Swiss Army 2" packet knife and the stone does the job.

Since the description reads: Specification: 240 / 1000 Grits with Rust Remover , I think a fair assumption would be that it's the Rust Remover. Makes sense to me, a rust encrusted blade should be dealt with prior to using it on these finely crafted stones. If rust is not removed, I can imagine the stones losing their perfect flatness and generally becoming unsuitable for precision sharpening.

It is 600 grit and it is pretty course. I gave mine away. Wasnt what I was looking for
