Suehiro's Cerax line of sharpening stones are a great value. They have gained a reputation for giving the kind of performance you would expect from a top shelf stone, but at a budget price.
The Cerax Stones from Suehiro sharpen fast with great feedback. They have a just-right feeling when used. You can feel the grit working enough that they don't have a mushy feel, but not so much that it grabs at the blade. These stones form a nice slurry fairly quickly, hold their shape well and cut fast enough to create a burr in a reasonable number of strokes.
The Cerax Stones do require soaking, however they're not extremely thirsty. A soak of several minutes and they're ready to go. An occasional splash of water during use keeps them working smoothly. They should not be stored in water.
There are two grits to choose from:
The Cerax Single Grit Stones are 210mm x 73 mm x 30mm. That's approximately 8 1/4" x 2 7/8" x 1 3/16".
