The blue whetstone, 20-30% garnet by weight, is available in many sizes, even large bench stone sizes, and produces a 4000 grit polish.
Just add droplets of water to the surface and go: creating a slurry, keeping it whetted and be amazed. Belgian whetstones can sharpen any kind of steel, including stainless steel and high speed steel (HSS), such as knives, chisels, scissors, axes, adzes, draw knives and more.
Unlike man-made or Japanese water stones, requiring lots of grit values (and continued maintenance of the stone), one Belgian stone alone can maintain your edge.
