Knife Sharpening Stone

Works well and sharpens my knives. Was easy for anyone to use but for me I like to use my hand as a guide and not a roll bar that comes with this item. You will need a lot of practice and skill to use this to get knife sharp enough to be razor sharp so don't expect this to be perfect for sharpening for beginners.Overall this is a sharpening stone and it sharpened my knifes.

The only reason the product got a ding (4 out of 5 stars) was because the bamboo container had a side that had been broken off, but it had a glued piece in place that was secure and not visible until it was handled. The other reason was the instructions declared to make stokes in same direction but didn't indicate what direction. I chose to make the stoke with the blade moving away from me. Either way it didn't indicate whether the blade or the guide should be in the front of the stoke.

Dull knives are a thing of the past with this wonderful sharpening stone. It is very easy to use (simply soak the stone in water for 10 minutes). It even includes a nifty gadget that you attach to your knife in order to obtain the perfect angle for sharpening.I’ve been looking for a great knife sharpener for over a year now and have wasted money on cheaper versions. This one is a winner all the way around.You’ll love it as much as I do. Guaranteed!

First thing you should know is I don't know anything. Im aware of a whole knife sharpening culture on a whole other level. I'm not in the club. I did see this set mentioned in an instructional video by one of those guys though.I'm someone who wanted to develop a new practical skill while quarantined at home. being a master dance instructor isn't too useful these days, and I have been cooking quite a lot, so this is what I undertook, And with this tool, I was able to sharpen all of my dulled out knives! I'm a little over enthusiastic, but it's been awhile since I felt a sense of accomplishment.Anyway it took some practice and focus, and I didn't have very high hopes for myself, But it worked great, and I'm proud of myself yay.

Had a few chips on it.

No this are not gritts you eat, silly. This stone grit has two grit sizes that will do just about all your knives in the house & shop. The dark side will be more aggressive to get the edge established, and the white side is for refining the edge toa very smooth, no glitch condition. Unless you operate a sharpening service, this will get you where your knives needto be. Excellent water stone. Buy the stone HOLDER though, as the bamboo holder was warped and not flat. It waslike a rocker and would not lay flat on the surface. The metal holder will not warp and has a rubber bottom.

only one side able to use

Honestly, this is a good double-sided whetstone for $20, but for $10 and comes with a holder and base? Best deal on the site. Seems to be similar quality to other mid level stones out there and checked the flatness out of the box, looked good to me. Almost want to get two of them before they are out of stock.
