Moss #220

Blue-Black #320
For high-carbon steel removal and a cleaner scratch pattern before moving to #1000.
Orange #1000

Blue #1500
A slightly finer intermediate stone with reasonable cutting speed that starts to polish the edge.
Green #2000

Wine #5000
The first polishing stone in the progression. Dense, refined, and still capable of light metal removal.
Melon #8000
A polishing stone that leaves a very fine finish with a microscopically fine scratch pattern.
Yellow #12000
Designed for extremely fine edges and bright mirror finishing, especially for fine woodworking tools.
Purple #30000

Use and care
