Does it have to soak first? Or can you just spray with water prior to use?
Is this "Shaputon 2000" REALLY the "Ha no Kuromaku KO703" by Shapton as depicted on your picture, or is it a different product?
Is this stone two sided with varying grains? The side with writing on it seems rougher.
what are the dimensions of the actual stone?

Shapton are the Best I’ve used!

Shapton Kuromaku stones are as advertised! They provide excellent feedback and are extremely fast. Being ceramic, you don’t have to soak them in water. The 1000 stone is the workhorse stone I start on it for everything. I would only start on a lower grit if there is a chip or something like that and then I will start on it probably diamond plate or sandpaper. Being Waterstones they do dish out, especially if you use an angle jig for sharpening. So you need to be prepared to flatten them and have a good flattening option( Atoma plate are best I’ve found so far). Do not forget to check flatness out of box!

Great results, takes skill to use

Like a lot of people, I've used gimmicky sharpening products with the hopes I'd get nice edges without much effort or need for developing a new skill. I had used both pull-through sharpeners and a very nice Edge Pro Apex system and struggled getting a good, reliable edge with either one. It was 'good enough' for most kitchen tasks, but never as sharp as I wanted for cuts to be really effortless, particularly for thin-skinned vegetables and such. I was always having to saw through the thin part of a tomato or onion. So, I finally decided to just get quality whetstones and figure out how to use them since that seemed to be what all the cool kids do.Having said that, these Shapton stones seem of very high quality to a novice. They come with a plastic case that doubles as a stone holder. It's probably not the absolute best thing you could use to hold the stone but I've been getting great results with some practice, so I don't see the need to get something else. The stone also comes with a small piece of foam padding inside the case so it doesn't get banged up. The stone is a 'splash-and-go' type of stone which doesn't need soaking, just a nice layer of water on top to keep things smooth. I purchased both the #1000 and #5000 stones. I plan on getting more later; both a coarser and finer stone so I have more options, particularly for harder steels that I have.It absolutely takes a ton of practice and trial and error to get a nice edge on a knife. This is not something that you'll get perfect on the first try. I've used the stones probably 5 times before developing a method that will effortlessly cut paper. What I'm realizing is that you need to spend a lot more time and use more passes than you think you need to in order to properly develop a burr and get a good edge. Watch some YouTube tutorials or read the billion forum posts from all the knife nerds out there. Again, this will take skill and practice to make it work but I'm getting better results with these stones than I have with other systems. They're not easy to use, but they are very effective and I feel good about developing a new skill.

Great all purpose sharpening stone

Stone is very uniform and sharpens well. Size is perfect for larger knives. The case doubles as a stand to place the stone in during use so it doesn’t slip. Great stone

I thought whetstone sharpening was something I just could not do.

I stumbled across a YouTube video about sharpening. The person speaking in the video was pointing out that the Shapton K0702 1000 grit ceramic whetstone was a standout for the price point. He stated that he was not sponsored in any way to recommend Shapton products, this was truly his preference. Decades ago I tried my absolute best to sharpen my knives. I used various stones, V-sticks, pull-through sharpeners, etc. My results were never very impressive. The concept seemed simple, but it seemed that I lacked some level of finesse to make a sharp edge that I could be truly proud of. After I saw the video I looked into it on Amazon. Well, it was delivered yesterday. I amazed at how sharp I have been able to make various pocket knives and kitchen cutlery. Today I logged back on to Amazon and have ordered a Shapton K0703 2000 grit ceramic stone. We will see if I can stop there. I am very proud of the edge I have been able to make with my Shapton K0702 100 grit stone. It works for me.
