Knife Sharpening Stone Kit - 1000/6000 Grit Japanese Whetstone Sharpener Set with Non-Slip Rubber Base Angle Guide Flattening Stone for Kitchen Knives Chisel Axe Scissors

Good to have a wide range of grits in the one set of stones 400-8000. I found it difficult to find a set that goes beyond 6000 grit at a reasonable price. This one fits the bill.

Using the better pull through sharpeners or a steel keeps knives in a decent condition but every so often they do need to go back to a basic sharpening to restore that surgical edge.My father used to use an oil stone for plane blades and chisels, and I still have it, although it is a bit messy for knives. Oilstones are much harder and slower working but do give a fine, polished edge. This kit uses the much cleaner whetstones using water as the lubricant. It comes with a guide for chisels and the like, which I don’t need as I practice woodturning so have jigs and a grindstone which does the job, although grindstones are not as convenient to use for knives.The kit includes a guide to set the angle right for knives and two whetstones with a different grit rating on each face to give 400 (coarse), 1,000, 3,000 and 8,000 (very fine) grit compound stones. This gives you the range of sharpening and polishing stones to cover a wide range of blade types from scissors and shears to fine boning knives.With whetstones softer than oilstones they do wear out of true faster so a harder flattening stone is included to restore a perfectly level surface.The stones are placed in a bamboo frame with a non-slip base to give a fair degree of stability in use. Also included is a leather strop, another thing my father had and used back in the days when razor blades were resharpened. The strop comes with polishing compound. Polishing is not absolutely necessary but does give a professional looking finish to the job.The kit also includes a pair of cut resistant gloves which might be a safety feature but make holding knives for sharpening a bit cumbersome, so it is easier to work without them.I have not had the kit long enough to talk about durability, but it seems well made and does a fine job of sharpening and polishing. I went through our entire kitchen knife collection, some reasonably sharp, some less so, and brought each knife back to frightening sharpness, able to cut through a sheet of A4 and thinly slice tomatoes without effort.It does take longer than sharpening with a steel or pull though knife sharpener, quite a few minutes to get a fine edge, but it is far superior to other methods of sharpening and only needs doing every so often, depending upon usage, using a steel before each use in between sharpening sessions to keep the edge in decent condition.That being said, it is quite therapeutic, a slow-paced process with a satisfying result. My knives were not in a terrible condition, just not as sharp as they were when they were bought, the sort of bluntness that comes over time shown by, for example, force needed to penetrate tomato skins for slicing, or cuts needing more force to be clean. This kit has brought them back to light touch razor sharpness.There are other, similar kits around, which probably will manage the same results, but this was the one I bought based on price and contents and I am happy with product and the results.

Great stones, great holders but lousy strop. It’s so thin that I cut through it just trying to use it.

Great product, my husband loved it, great quality to sharpen the knives

Nice kit, easy to use, although I couldn't use the angle guide on my knives.Instructioms arent the best, but YouTube is your friend for this,

Works perfectly and brings all knives to their perfect state.

Brilliant for sharpening blades

The product does what it says - take your time - watch the You Tube video and carve away

Very nice. I sharpen a lot of tools by hand. This is a nice addition to my shop
