The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This 400/1000 grit whetstone is listed at $9.99, one of the lowest prices here, and the title confirms both a coarse 400 and a fine 1000 side plus a non-slip rubber base. It holds a 4.5 rating across 2,749 reviews.
Demand is strong, with about 1,000 buyers last month, so it is a proven seller rather than a niche listing. The dual grit covers basic edge repair on the 400 side and finishing on the 1000 side.
No weight, dimensions, or stone material are specified beyond the grit grades and rubber base, so the exact stone size is unclear.
Pros
Low $9.99 price with a labeled 400/1000 dual grit
Non-slip rubber base is called out in the listing
Strong demand at roughly 1,000 buyers last month
4.5 rating across 2,749 reviews
Cons
No weight, dimensions, or stone material listed
Only two grits, so not suited to heavy reprofiling or polishing past 1000
Performance notes
The 400 side handles dull or chipped edges while the 1000 side refines them, and the rubber base addresses slipping during use. Beyond grit and base, no physical specs are provided.
