Global MS5/O&M - Ceramic Whetstone, Medium Grit
One of three Global whetstones of different grit ratings, this  orange one is Grit 1000 for honing dull knife edges before they're  finished on a fine-grit whetstone. It's made of hardened ceramic powder  for quick, easy work and can be used immediately after wetting—-there's  no need for a lengthy submersion in water. Attached to the whetstone is  a porcelain slab for rigidity. The whetstone rests in a removable,  rubber-like plastic base to prevent slippage while it's being used. It  measures 8-1/4 inches long, 2-3/4 inches wide, and 7-/8 inch thick.  Instructions and diagrams for proper honing accompany the whetstone.--Fred Brack
