I had expected after the other good reviews much more. With my copy, I'm definitely not satisfied as specifically polishes the rough side very uneven and hakelig. One has the impression that the grain is completely uneven and patchy and can thus totally polishes into space and simply slips over it (perhaps a production error?!). The other finer side is okay. Also, I was disappointed how short it really is. Somehow, I had assumed that the length of the actually relevant filing part is 13 cm, instead was actually meant by the total length of handle, and then not even reached 13 cm ... So to me this time no recommendation to buy!
