Does this have a grit rating? How rough is it?

Not that I am aware of but I would suggest checking Wusthof's website. It's not terribly rough. The term "sharpening steel" is a bit misleading. This product is intended to hone the blade not reshape/reform the bevel on the blade.

Hi - I'm not a grit expert, but these look pretty coarse to me. Hope this helps.

I use a 300 & 600 grit stone before I use this and am very pleased with the results. I hope that helps.

Very light grit at best. They help with slipping but are otherwise not that noticeable. I hope this helps.

There's no markings indicating an exact grit. Its between medium to fine leaning closer to fine though based on comparisons to honers I've used in the past

I used it in garden soil mix and it worked great - I had nothing to compare it to so as far as the grade, I'm not a confidant judge - I want to say coarse

This is a stropping compound. I'm not really sure what grit that would be. I would assume several thousands lol? It's designed to "polish"/smooth micro imperfections in the edge of whatever you sharpened. Hope this helped.

I don't know the grit. None of the files have the fine grit I was hoping for, to smooth my clay dolls. I use them to start smoothing areas, which end up pretty rough, but are a good start. Then I have to switch to the very fine grit of sandpaper to smooth the clay. I do like that they are small and get into small areas. I don't regret getting them, just wanted at least one of them to be a fine grit.

The grit is coarse. I'm not sure I'd recommend these on brittle nails. They work fine on my acrylics though.

I'd say 70% grit but I can't say it for sure. I know it worked for it's intended purpose and very well. I actually still have the packaging and nowhere on it does it say the mixture ratio between grit and grease. Try emailing the manufacturer maybe.

I would say the finish is consistent is consistent with the rest of their offerings. So, yes, too rough...but what can you do...it comes from their surfaces no longer being machined. I wish I could find a set of cast Iron that was machined these days, but no such luck so I make do with the inferior product they do offer. I don't feel like I have much choice.

It is probably the equivalent of 1000 grit. It might smooth paint but much finer than grits used on wood.

It does not indicate on packaging what the grit might be or the grinding stone composition. However, it appears to be A super fine grit and is man made. I have been using it with great satisfaction for sewing scissors, both industrial and regular home scissors.

The set is the same grit as far as I can tell, but it may be graduated slightly. They do sell a pack with around 9 files that have different grit's for each of the files. The files are so good that really you don't need a variety of grits. Best files I have ever owned!

It is 100 grit and I love it. It has made a difference in my micro services and I intend to purchase the full kit.

I don't recall that there was a value placed on the relative grit level. You could use any level you wanted. The material that comes with the wheel puts a very high polish on hardened steel. You might post a question on the company's website if you really want a number.

No grit, feels fine on feet. Wouldn't recommend coming to a skidding halt on it, but stepping on it is fine.
