@Tyler Just received this the other day. Is the grit mentioned under "Included" correct? It says "Hard Arkansas stone (800 – 1,000 grit)", while the stand says "Hard Black Arkansas" which is informed as "Hard Black Arkansas stone (2,000 – 3,000 grit)" in the RH Preyda Pocket Stones drop.

MikaelThis is an old question, but I'll answer it for posterity: Arkansas grit can't really be compared with regular whetstone grit... It can be around 800-1000 grit for a black Arkansas stone, but it translates to much higher grit if you "convert" the value to Japanese Whetstone grit... Here's a nice article that can explain it much better than I ever can:
