Whetstone Knife Sharpening Stone Set | Dual Grit Whetstone 1000 6000 | Best Kitchen Wet Stone Knife Sharpener Stone | Non-Slip Bamboo Base, Silicone Stone Holder, Angle Guide and eBook Instructions

I have next to no experience sharpening knives, but I just bought an expensive chef knife and I want to keep it sharp. It came well packaged and had instructions on it's use. If you wanted to take the time, it also has a card with a scanning code which you can use to get more instruction in it's use. I just looked it up on youtube and gave it a shot.It comes with a sharpening guide which you attach to the back of the knife. I found it useful to get an idea of where the edge was. After about 20 minutes of use, I found it easier to "feel" the edge against the stone and remove the sharpening guide. Give yourself some time to work with it. I took a cheap grocery store knife that was completely dull as my test. I also tried to slice a piece of paper in thin air before I started and in the middle of sharpening the knife. It will take some time to sharpen your knife. This is a process and it will get messy. Keep the stone moist.After some trial and error, I was able to take my cheap knife and easily slice a piece of paper. I also used it to slice up cauliflower and dice onions, both of which this knife couldn't do before. This knife was now working like a champ!I easily would recommend this sharpener. The bambo base is sturdy and has a nice grip on the bottom. It also has a nice rubber guard to hold the stone in place and protect it. This was well worth the price and I'm very satisfied.

Bought this product for my husband. It took him quite a while to get the hang of it but when he got it down, all our knives cut paper effortlessly.

I just got this and used it once. It sharpened my knifes much better than the Professional Knife Sharpener Diamond Coated Sharpening Wheel (the kind you hold with one hand and pull the knife through fixed angle slots with the other hand) and an old DiamondStone 325, 600 grit that only took metal off my knives without making them sharp. I am an avid cook, but not picky about the tools I use. Neither of those tools did anything useful. I only want reasonably sharp knives (I don't care that it cuts nicely through paper or napkins... I just want it to cut my food without fighting with the food). This whetstone did that perfectly. And the fixed angle guide was super helpful. The only issue I have is that the one I received had a crack in it that would catch the knives I was sharpening. I had to learn to avoid that spot. Other than that, worked great.

I bought this because I have some mid-range kitchen knives that go dull every so often. After I used these, the knives were incredibly sharp - I mean like wicked sharp! I often use my knives to cut up a roast or to de-bone a raw turkey and it would take forever, until I used these stones. What a difference they make! Makes the toughest meats cut like butter. The only reason that I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 was because the stones separated after about 4 uses. I can still use them separately just fine, but it was nice to just flip them over to the other grit. I wish they would sell thicker, dedicated stone of a single grit. That way, I would buy the grits that I want, and step up to a finer grit one-by-one. Other than this issue, great stones.

Great sharpening stone for the price. It is great for sharpening my knives. The directions do say to soak the stone in water for 10 minutes before sharpening, I strongly recommend following this so you do not “clog up” the surface of the stone. I keep re-wetting my stone frequently during sharpening and that washes the stone clean easily. If this is a lot higher grit stone than what I am used to so you will need a coarser stone if you are trying to get rid of really bad nicks in the blade or if your knife is really dull, but you will need this stone’s two sides to get any knife razor sharp. I sharpened my cheap kitchen knives first and it made a night/day difference in cutting! I was able to slice cucumbers and bell peppers easier than a hot knife through butter. The sharpening holder/guide included does help to keep that perfect angle while sharpening and fits most of my knives. I was even able to sharpen my 4” belt knife to the point of being able to shave hair off my arm like a straight razor. Great little sharpening kit for the price!

We bought a beautiful knife during our most recent trip to Japan. After some use, it needed sharpening. Although we have an excellent electric sharpener, i wanted to "properly" sharpen our Japanese knife so I searched for a good choice for sharpening stones. I found several highly rated choices on Amazon. But based both on product specifics and on customer ratings, I could find no reason to buy much more expensive options than this combination whetstone. I have now used it with great success. The 1000/6000 grit combination worked great. The wooden base included with the kit makes it very easy to use because it both creates a non-slip surface upon which to apply pressure and because it elevates the stone for easy access. I am very pleased and would buy this combination stone again.

The sharpening stone works amazingly well to put a razor sharp edge on my kitchen and pocket knives. I also love that they included a flattening stone. The only complaints I have is that the edge guide is completely useless.Side note: If you live in a humid area make sure you completely dry out the wooden base, otherwise mold will grow on it and it will be a pain in the a$$ to completely remove.

This is a pretty impressive whetstone for the price! The bamboo base is a really nice feature and if you have a large kitchen it would make being able to leave the sharpener out ascetically appealing!The directions were a little tricky for me since I’ve never used a whetstone before but it was simple enough to figure out with some how to videos.I sharpened up two of our kitchen knives before dinner and it made the chopping and slicing process MUCH easier.This would make an awesome house warming or wedding shower gift!
