Sharpening Stone Combination Corundum Whetstone for Kitchen Santoku Knives,Dual-sided with Waterstone Holder (2000/5000 GRIT)

These Lavoda water stones aren't cheap, but they sure do sharpen my knives and chisels. I've not appreciated how sharp chisels can be with a water stone. Be aware that the grit on water stones naturally erodes in order to cut the steel, so you need to use the whole surface, and a separate course grit stone is needed to flatten this fine grit combination over time. I have a 1000 Lavoda stone for truing this one and rough-sharpening. Since getting the 1000 plus the 2000/5000 combination, I haven't had to do much grinding.

great

A little soft; not as hard I feel as the king stone, but they do what they're designed for.

Very satisfied! I use this block to restore the blade on a 60yr old straight razor that was passed down to me. After a bit of time and some stropping.. my, my.. my face was silky smooth!

arrived on time and do their job well

Lavoda makes first-class wet stones and this model is the most practical I have found: its 2000- and 5000-grit combination is ideal for most basic sharpening duties, and I really like the safe rubber base into which fits the dual-faced stone; this silicone rubber mount practically glues the sharpener to your kitchen counter-top or to any non-porous surface--very safe and controlled. (Lavoda included a useful little card-style metal multi-tool as a gift with my purchase, an elegant gesture of appreciation for their clients.) I highly recommend this excellent sharpening system!

It is what it says it is. Now I just need to get good at using it. I'm realizing it takes some practice beyond watching a few videos on YouTube. I suggest practice with a knife that isn't precious. Don't start with the good kitchen knives

Great sharpening stone and fast delivery. I use it daily with no issues.
