Professional Knife Sharpening Stones | Dual Grit Whetstone 1000/6000 | Premium Whetstone Sharpening Blade Kit | Wet Stone Knife Sharpener Set | Two Sided Polishing Stone for Kitchen & Chef Knives

I bought the sharpener to get a better edge on my cooking knives which I thought I kept fairly sharp. Little did I know....Pros:1. The stone is fairly easy to use. Follow the instructions in the downloaded booklet and you'll be on your way. Don't overthink it - the trick for me was to focus on the stroke "muscle memory" so I could consistently sharpen in both directions. Keep sprinkling water on the stone as you work.2. The stone does a good job of sharpening. I didn't think the knives were all that sharp because I am used to feeling the burr from my electric sharpener. Then I cut a tomato. Wow - much sharper. The rough burr wasn't there.Cons:1. The rubber holder can slip on the counter when it is wet.2. The guide scratched my knife blade. Next time I'll use my finger under the spine of the knife instead to keep a consistent angle.Next challenge: figuring out how to do the entire edge of the knife from the tip to the bolster with each stroke instead of doing it in sections. More muscle memory....

Nice!!!

Excellent product I thought I will have to through my knifes but it did the job

Purchased this as gift for my partner as he loves to sharpen his Global chefs knife every so often. Compared to similarly priced & quality wet stones, I feel these are the better ones of the options available. Comes in great packaging adding to the overall experience. Double sided with a course and fine side based on the model / Grain you select. Also comes with a black plastic / silicone base holder to place & elevate the stone while sharpening. Also allows the stone to breathe at the bottom since it’s meant to be used wet hence the name 😅LOL. Nice touch! Looks & feels high quality. Will definitely be purchasing more to complete the set. Great choice if you dont want to break the bank but also looking for high quality stone for your high quality knifes.

Small chip in flattering stone upon arrival as it was not secure the packaging. The 1000/6000 stone in the product was packaged well and intact. The stone functioned well and was able to sharpen two really dull knives (so far) and return a really nice edge to them with just the 1000grit stone (able to remove the burr and hone without a strop). The rubber feet are a little small which allows the base to slide some when sharpening and the table becomes wet. This is easily solved by the use of a towel underneath. I do like the construction of the base. It seems sturdy and fits the stone snuggly with the provided rubber gaskets. The instruction guide was easily obtained by going on line with some good tips, although, I think searching on YouTube provided better instructions/demonstrations. The angle guide I didn’t find particularly helpful, but some people may. This was my first purchase of a whetstone and with a little research and a little practice, I was up and running in no time. Overall, I find this to be a very good product for the price (although, a lot of the stones seem identical on Amazon regardless of the manufacturer, so you may be able to get one cheaper) and it suits my needs. I would definitely. buy again.
