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

Overview
The Work WSBCHBSS is a single sharpening stone listed at $49.95, the highest price in this roundup. It earns a 4.7 rating from 1,200 reviews, tied for the top score here.
The listing gives dimensions of 3 by 2.5 by 8.5 inches, a long single stone, but the stated 2.4-ounce weight looks like a listing error for a stone this size. No grit grade or material is provided.
Around 300 buyers chose it last month. The strong rating is the main draw, and the price asks you to pay for that reputation.

Performance notes
Dimensions of 3 by 2.5 by 8.5 inches point to a long bench stone, though the 2.4-ounce weight in the listing is implausible for that size and is likely an error. Grit and material are unlisted.
