Q: What sharpening stage is this stone meant for?
This is a fine grinding stone at 1000x grit, range code 2C, meant for cleaning up scratches left by coarser shaping stones as you prepare a blade for honing.
1000x orange Ha-No-Kuromaku stone used with the Veritas side-clamping honing guide
Ha-No-Kuromaku stones are the workhorses of many woodshops. Precisely graded sharpening media are bonded to create a stone that is durable yet fast cutting.
The orange 1000x is a fine grinding stone (range code 2C). Excellent for most sharpening set-ups, it is coarse enough to clean up the scratches from the coarse shaping stones while preparing a blade for honing.
It measures 210mm × 70mm × 15mm (8 1/4" × 2 3/4" × 5/8") and is supplied in a color-matched live-hinge plastic storage case that also serves as a stand. Four urethane feet on the vented case bottom give a good grip, while molded ribs on the case lid hold the stone in place. Both sides of the stone are usable.
The stone can be used with the Shapton stone holder, field holder and pond. It can also be used as an oil stone, but then must continue to be used with oil only. Weighs just shy of 20 oz (550g).

This is a fine grinding stone at 1000x grit, range code 2C, meant for cleaning up scratches left by coarser shaping stones as you prepare a blade for honing.
Yes, but once you switch to oil you'll need to keep using oil going forward, since the stone shouldn't go back to water after that.
It comes with a color-matched, live-hinge plastic storage case that also works as a stand, with urethane feet for grip and molded ribs that hold the stone in place.
It weighs just shy of 20 oz (550g).
Use it after a coarse shaping stone. It's graded as a grinding stone, range code 2C, that removes the scratches those coarser stones leave, getting the blade ready for honing.
