Knife Sharpening Stone, BearMoo Professional Waterstones Combination Grit 3000/8000 Whetstone Sharpening with Bamboo Base, Blade Guide Sharpener Stone

I have had waterstones for 30 years and needed to replace them. I was happy that they had come down in price but am very disappointed to discover why. 8000 grit will polish the metal to a mirror finish, 6000 will be almost there. 3000 will give a fine edge and 1000 will remove metal fairly rapidly. These are labelled with numbers that bear no relation to their true grit. Colour the stuff differently and print some numbers on them and sell to people who may not know any different. Buy King. These get 1 star because I wasn't allowed to give none.

Surprisingly good quality for its price. If you know how to use this you can get an excellent sharp blade on your knives. I use it on all of mine - from a large cook’s knife down to small paring and filleting knives. Use the orange side first then home with the white side. Keeping it wet is important. Soak before use and then squeeze water from a cloth or sponge onto the surface before sharpening. It’s important to apply even pressure and get the angle right. I finish my knives with a diamond steel and they are razor sharp. Very pleased.

this whetstone is fantastic for the price, was received the very next day after ordering late in the day, but life being life I have only just had the time to use I sharpened up my fixed blade I have to carry for work razor sharp in less than 10 minutes the wooden block is a nice touch lifts the stones more making it easier to use, very much worth a buy!

Very happy with the sharpening stone, seems to do a very good job at making quality blades sharp. I didn't feel the wooden holding block added a huge amount to the experience as it slipped about just as much using the rubber surrounds, other than to make the stone higher from the table top and possibly easier to use with larger handled blades. I certainly recommend the sharpening stone.

This is the second Whetstone I've used, and this one is fantastic. The rubber base, and wooden holder make a lovely difference. Everything is held firm so you can focus on the grind, and easily ensure an even use of the stone itself. Have happily grinded mine, and my friends knifes on this, does a great job.

I looked at all the available whetstones for sale on Amazon and decided that this is the best buy that they offered. Not only do you get a two sided stone that has different grades to finish sharpening your blades, you get a nice wooden stand that is perfect for holding your stone. Plus they throw in a angle device to hold your knives at the perfect angle for putting an edge on the blade you are sharpening. Sharpening a knife is very simple and tedious to do and this is definitely a good stone to do it with.

I LOVE this so much. Never used the little knife guide thing as I feel it's necessary to learn how to use it on it's own but the wooden stand is great and the rubber bits help keep everything from slipping around. I go up from a 1000 grit diamond stone to the 3000 with no trouble and great results after finishing with the 8000 side. Would highly recommend

A very well made product that was significantly cheaper than those I’d seen elsewhere. As it was cheaper I expected the quality of this to result in the product not working quite as well, however I can say it does the job perfectly.
