36% less stone than you paid for
The stone is significantly smaller than advertised. A smaller stone is harder to sharpen on, and because waterstones wear out, the volume of the stone determines how long it will last.
Amazon description claimed size: 2.5" x 8.4" x 1.2" = 25.2 cubic inches
Actual size: 2" x 8.125" x 1" = 16.25 cubic inches
So, you're getting screwed to the tune of ((25.2 - 16.25) / 25.2) * 100 = 35.51%
I'm not amused. It's going back to Amazon at their expense.
