The description says "fine 600 grit". Is it fine or 600 grit? 600 grit is pretty coarse.

600 grit sandpaper is very fine although it is possible to find sandpaper as fine as 2000 or even 2500. The Buck Arkansas Washita stone is very fine and should be used for putting a final edge on a knife or other sharp edged instrument. (I often use cardboard or a sheet of typing or copy paper to put the final, final edge on my knives.)

Very fine. Soft stone. I use it on my kitchen knives and it works very well. Hope this helps.

The stone is 'Fine'. 600 grit is very coarse. The description is probably a typo...I keep my stone at work as I always carry a Buck Knife with me and find it handy if I need a quick sharpening. Make sure you use honing oil.

I'm not sure of the actual grit count, but stones such as these are considered to be medium.

It states in the Product DescriptionStyle: FineIncludes 6, 6000 Fine Grit Belts. For knife honing. This is a good kit, as the 6000 grit belt does give the finest hone, but it wears out sooner than the rougher ones. 6 belts will last a while.

I use a 300 & 600 grit stone before I use this and am very pleased with the results. I hope that helps.

I don't know "Why". But that's not the right question. The right question is "What are the grit #s?", and the answer is 2x 320 grit sheets, 1x 400 grit sheet, 1x 600 grit sheet and 1x 800 grit sheet.

I emailed Winco and all they said was "The grain is a Fine/Medium grain" so I guess we're on our own. I'm looking to get it for major blade repair as well as leveling my higher grit stones (1000-6000 grit). Good luck.

It is the same grit on both sides and all sizes unfortunately. It works well for nails, however I was going to use the large one to file the dry skin on my feet and it just does not have enough grit. So sad!

I purchased these for my husband and asked him. He said that the grit is fine and extra fine. There is no coarse grit to handle major jobs. You might start with a flat file and then use the stone.

I think I've seen these rated as 400 on the coarse side and 600 on the fine side. My estimation is that initially they act a bit coarser (say 200/300) but like most polycrystalline diamond abrasives the lose a lot of their aggressiveness after a little use. They do seem to last pretty well for their price. A year ago I bought 4 since they were so cheap and 3 are still in the box. The main defect is the metal abrasive plate tends to separate from the plastic substrate, so they are not good if a very flat surface is critical.

I didn't notice any. I would estimate 400-600 grit. It is good for knives that are in fair sharpness. For really dull knives you would need to start with a more coarse grit. It is a good stone.

It coarse. My family likes to use it as a table salt because it has a satisfying crunch. We have a grinder also.

I just checked and think they are 120 grit. I purchased 100 grit replacement sleeves for the larger spindles. Machine works great.

It came up with the combination 2-3 for each grit (60-2, 80-2,120-2) it's been more than year ago and also used couple of the sandpaper so don't remeber the exact number but for sure its a combination

Not sure what the exact grits are but there is a coarse and a fine and the ceramic steel rotates to the same also and for fish hooks also the plates remove to clean and under is a broadhead tightened it's a great handy tool to have in the field hands down

1000 grit you need remove large nicks, the 6000grit is polishing only, I like to use a middle grit before the 6000. So to answer your question you dont have to use the 6000 grit.

Hello Tammy, I had to buy the grit separate. I'm not sure of the cost because when this order was place, there were several dozen other items bought for the business and all my receipts are give to my accountant. I think the price was $29 for the kit. It contained: Coarse, Medium, Pre-polish and polish grits.
