 Japanese waterstones for efficient sharpening by hand
Japanese waterstones, both the natural and the artificial ones, have a reputation for rapid sharpening.
However, for those who do much sharpening, it may be impractical to own a stone with only one surface available in each grit, compared to stones in which both sides can be used - of particular advantage when the stone becomes hollow, and the user is not inclined to immediately flatten it.
Important: Because the grit in Japanese waterstones is bonded very loosely, it follows that the two halves are equally loosely bonded.

All sharpening stones are sacrificial -- they wear away as steel is rubbed over them -- but waterstones are softer than most, and it is the gritty slurry that's created as the stone erodes that works with the stone itself to provide the sharpening medium.

 IBM Global Financing helps Waterstones deliver first-class service - Nederland
As a company funded by venture capitalists, Waterstones is bound by a set of financial covenants, which restricts the type of financial agreement into which they are allowed to enter.
While Waterstones' requirements and covenants made for a delicate financial balancing act, it took IBM Global Financing less than three weeks to define a competitive finance plan which not only offered the bookseller an extremely attractive rate of interest, but was also acceptable to the company's venture capitalist backers.
This means that Waterstones only pays for each terminal once it is in use by a store and generating a return on investment.

Waterstone’s Nottingham had its busiest ever day on Saturday, when I wasn’t working, and (probably) its busiest ever non-Saturday yesterday, when I was working.
At the moment, the only bookshops in Nottingham are two branches of Waterstone’s (reduced to one from next weekend, when Wheeler Gate closes) - unless you count WH Smiths, which I don’t.
So if (or when?) Waterstone’s and Ottakar’s do merge, there will really be no choice of bookseller across the UK, unless you’re lucky enough to live near a Borders, or one of the few independents left.

I second those posters that say this is the push that the universe has been trying to give you for a while; the tunnel you find yourself in is scary, and I appreciate that the emotions of anger, betrayal and injustice are very real, as well as the fear and insecurity of income.
Sadly I thought that Waterstones was one of the better chains (certainly a lot better than WH Smith), who were passionate about books and the exchange of intellect, evidently some of the managers are just in the business to make money, and treat those who really are customer-facing (i.e.

 Academy Notes and Tips - Clean Cuts - Part 4
In reality, waterstones are deeply rooted in the ancient culture of the Orient, where they have been used to sharpen steel for many, many centuries.
Start with a coarse (250 to 800 grit) stone to begin the sharpening process...move to a medium stone (1000 to 1200 grit) for the primary sharpening stage...then finish off by polishing your edge to a mirror-smooth finish using a fine (4000 to 8000 grit) stone.
Unlike oilstones, however, waterstones use water as a lubricant to keep the stone surfaces from glazing over - and they use a lot more of it than the amount of oil typically used with an oilstone.
