Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I'm a wood carver. Anything less than "scary sharp" is unacceptable. To achieve and maintain the kind of edge I need takes a particularly hard stone. I found the "Translucent Arkansas" to be the equivalent of imported stones that I'd paid six to eight times as much for.
It is listed as a visual "2nd"... that didn't impair its use or value at all.
