Premium Knife Sharpening Stone Kit, 2 Side 1000 & 6000 Grit Whetstone, Kitchen Blade Sharpener Stone, Non-Slip Bamboo Base & Bonus Angle Guide Included for Chef, Kitchen, Pocket Knife by YUKSY

We are starting to buy the more expensive knives now and we needed a good knife sharpener. So far this one seems to be doing the job pretty good. I like that it's solid, big and easy to manage. It also appears to be a good higher end quality product. My husband really likes the way it's made. Has a good solid wood base.You get a 1,000 and 6,000 grit: The 1000 grit side is used for your basic sharpening and the 6000 grit side is used for fine finishing. Features a rubber tray to ensure stability when sharpening.Read the instructions on the box carefully to ensure the longevity of your sharpening stone.I like that the seller offers a 30-day return and replace and a one-year free warranty. That tells me, they stand behind their product. Instructions are right on the box. Happy with this product

First, I'm not an expert knife sharpener but I do like my knives razor sharp. My kitchen knives are Henkel and Kyocera ceramic. I have tried all sorts of manual hand held sharpeners but was never happy. Until this stone, I got the best edge with an electric Chefs Choice 3 station sharpener. That will get any blade pretty sharp. I wasn't sure which stone to buy, so I bought the 1000/4000. It comes with a rubber base which is great for keeping it still. Out of the box, the stone isn't perfectly flat, so you should "face" it (sand it flat) with medium sandpaper on a flat table. Then follow the directions on the box. I had some trouble judging and keeping the same angle, so I purchased the "Angleguide" sharpening system. Its just wedges with different angles and rubberbands to hold them on the stone. Its not perfect, but it helped me keep the proper angle until I developed enough muscle memory to not need them. This stone is for sharpening a knife that still has an edge. If the knife is really dull, you'll be using this stone for hours. I would recommend a second stone with approximately 400/600 first and then the 1000/4000. I still use the Chefs Choice for dull knives and then the stone.

I ordered this as I wanted a finer grit stone to use on some smaller knives and especially my kitchen knives. The wooden block and rubber retainer work well. The little plastic angle guide was pretty useless to me but others may appreciate it. The stone itself is pretty soft and you can see it as a build up of white or blue powder after use so care will need to be taken not to wear a valley in the center of the stone. It works just like you would expect however and I got my knives very sharp, even the crappy stainless paring knife my wife loves... Good product for the price.

Great product. I remember how my dad used to sharpen all of his knives. This stone is perfect for making my blades very sharp. The bamboo base is beautiful, and it does not slip. The guide teaches you exactly what angle to use when sharpening. Soak the stone in water until you stop seeing bubbles. Remember to use an old towel, as the sludge will stain. Having two different grits in the same stone is very convenient. The size of the stone also makes it easier to sharpen knives of all sizes.

The product is good quality but it real takes some talent to know how to use these stones. Ended up buying a electric knife sharpener which wasn't cheap but did the trick. Unless you have used sharping stones in the past with success I would be careful.

This is really a must have in the kitchen! I used the kitchenIQ knife sharpener before and honestly couldn't tell a whole lot of difference before and after sharpening. I decided to purchase this, and the difference is so dramatic! The stone is perfect for bringing any knife back to life! 1000 and 4000 grit are perfect for your needs. One of the best items I have purchased for the kitchen. Takes some practice but works wonders!

These are cheap but work as expected. Took about an hour to bring my VERY dull knife set back to sharpness. Just watch Youtube videos and practice. I use in conjunction with a 3000/8000 Grit Waterstone for a great combo.

The blade assist made a difference for me since I'm a beginner. It holds it at the angle you need it to and because it's assisting the angle of the blade, you can easily put more pressure down to make sharpening quicker. Great stone for the price.
