That is interesting to see. I have only King 300 grit that is very good especially for the low price (but a bit small). 1k Deluxe is pretty good too, as is the 6k. None of those is the best in my collection but I could live with them easily and they are pretty affordable. I have mostly normal sized stones but with over sized MD-21 the King 300 seems so tiny, seems about similar to the 220 in your video.
I have this 220 and the deluxe 300. The 300 is a bigger stone than the 220, in all dimensions. The 220 cuts faster but it's far more friable. The 300 is harder and doesn't give up abrasive easily like the 220, which I suspect green SiC
@@AnarchAngel1 I've sometimes seen also different sizes of same King stones. For example I have a pretty small 6k that is available in larger sizes too. I think one just have to read carefully the dimensions, they're not all "standard size" like most other manufacturers have. But cheaper too, especially when smaller. Even a smaller one has a huge life time in normal home use.
@hoggif Yeah, King definitely has a way of making their stones in various sizes, which I actually like. You just have to pay attention, like the 6k comes in S-3, S-2 and S-1 being the largest. They make this small 4k that's a really good stone that I never here people talk about, probably because it's so small. I think it's called the s-45. It's hard and gives more like a 5-6k finish. The King Neo 800 is an awesome stone too. Again ST-4 is smaller and ST-2 is the large version. That stone is great for more stubborn steels, it's green SiC
Another enjoyable video, thank you. I really like your sharpening bench. Do you have a preference for soaking or splash & go stones. Looking forward to more videos.
@kencrane9726 depends. But if I really want to enjoy myself, i tend to prefer soft soaking stones. In general if I just need to get stuff done, it's handy to have a good coarse splash and go to set you off 🤓 thanks for the comment, and hope you have a great day

Would like to see a review of the Snapton rockstar stones. Maybe compare them to the glass version?
Thank you

@hoggif yea. I find king stones to be good at an affordable price. A good recommendation to anyone starting out :) thanks for leaving a comment 😀

I have tons of stones (Suehiro, Shapton, Naniwa, Imanishi etc.) and honestly, King stones are just as good as most of the others in a lot of ways

Do you think the King g-45 is the same as the rough stone in the 250/1000 King combination stone? They seem to be of the same colour.
@miltoninsipid8108 I couldn't say, I haven't tried the 250/1000 combo unfortunately 😔
