Beginner level, great learning set.
I have had other experienced sharpeners say this is a waste of money. First of all sharpening is not an easy task, there is a learning process, on top of that my hands shake. It took me several attempts and some time to get the hang of just improving my knives. This set was what I needed, after this set I may desire to invest in a couple of Shaptons for $100+, but for now this is what I use to sharpen my kitchen knives. The little plastic guide is only good for scratching your knife. I finally used the flattening stone, it worked great.

Great for a casual home user
Pretty decent sharpening stone for a casual and beginner. Just wanted a better tool than those carbide blade pull through sharpeners. I am pretty sure mine is labeled backwards because the “400” grit side is a lot smoother than the “1000” side. Comes with an angle guide which is useful, and a nice enough holder.

100% satisfied
I have a set of Farberware brand kitchen knives (nothing fancy) for about 3 yrs now. I cook often so the knives were in good use and of course they started going dull. I was skeptical about this sharpening slab but gave it a shot and I must say I’m impressed.I started off with the 400 side and basically revived my knives they now cut better than ever, damn near katanas now lol. It’s simple and easy to use (I referenced the instructional video) and I recommend.

Basic whetstone does the job well
I purchased this to sharpen my folding knives and my wife’s kitchen knives. Works great. Takes a little practice, but basically works as intended. After much practice, knives are no longer dull, but really sharp. I like the assortment of grits.Only downside is that this does not work for concave knives like fillet knives.Other than that, works great to sharpen standard straight or convex knives.

Mostly good but doesnât grip counter top.
Sharpens knives just fine, but the bamboo base simply does not grip the countertop. At all. I have to put it against the wall to use it.The guide works well, but it also scraped up the side of my knife. I wouldnât want to use it on an expensive or beautiful knife.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. So far I’ve had a few evenings spent sharpening my kitchen and working knives. I like that it’s essentially a complete set with the non-slip base (bamboo), various grits, angle guide, and flattening stone (to maintain your sharpening stones). I paired this with a leather strop and ceramic honing rod from Sharpal and this combo is great for pretty much all my sharpening needs!

Es war an der Zeit meinen ausgemergelten Schleifstein durch einen neuen zu ersetzen.Nun gut – wollen wir einmal nicht so tun, als ob ein Schleifstein ein High-Tech-Produkt wäre (ich hoffe ich habe recht?).Macht einen soliden Eindruck, auch die Messerhalterung, mit der man und auch Frau den richtigen Winkel automatisch hält ist als sinnvolles Werkzeug dabei.Meine Messer sind wieder scharf – und ich bin zufrieden 😉

Funziona con i coltelli a lama liscia non seghettati. La pietra affilatrice con grana 400/1000, è ottima per affilare coltelli, ma non è ideale per le forbici per diversi motivi tecnici legati alla struttura e all’angolo di affilatura. I coltelli di solito hanno un angolo di affilatura di circa 15°-20°, mentre le forbici necessitano di un angolo molto più acuto, spesso tra i 60° e i 75°, a seconda del tipo di forbici. Le guide angolari per coltelli sono progettate per questi angoli più stretti e non si adattano bene alle forbici. Le forbici hanno una lama asimmetrica. Solo un lato della lama è affilato, mentre l’altro lato è piatto, cosa che richiede una tecnica di affilatura diversa rispetto ai coltelli, che hanno un bordo simmetrico da affilare su entrambi i lati. Le forbici, in particolare quelle di alta qualità , spesso hanno una leggera curvatura o un’inclinazione nelle lame per favorire il taglio. Affilarle con una pietra piatta e una guida progettata per coltelli potrebbe compromettere questa inclinazione.Per affilare correttamente le forbici, è consigliabile usare una pietra specifica per forbici o una mola per affilatura con un angolo regolabile, oppure farle affilare da un professionista.La differenza tra una pietra affilatrice con grana 400 e una con grana 1000 riguarda principalmente la finezza dell’abrasione e lo scopo dell’affilatura:Grana 400 (grana grossa):Utilizzo: Questa grana è più grossolana e viene usata per affilare lame molto smussate o danneggiate. Serve per rimuovere materiale più velocemente e ripristinare l’angolo del taglio in modo rapido.Risultato: Lascia un bordo più ruvido, ideale per la fase iniziale dell’affilatura quando si ha bisogno di rimuovere molto metallo per correggere l’usura o piccole scheggiature.Grana 1000 (grana media):Utilizzo: à una grana media e serve a raffinare il filo dopo l’uso della grana 400. Aiuta a rendere il taglio più affilato e regolare. Questa grana è spesso considerata il livello base per ottenere un’affilatura funzionale su un coltello.Risultato: Lascia un bordo più liscio e affilato rispetto alla grana 400, ed è sufficiente per un’affilatura quotidiana o per preparare la lama prima delle fasi di lucidatura con grane più fini (ad esempio 3000, 6000, o 8000).Le due grane vengono spesso usate in sequenza per ottenere un filo affilato e ben rifinito.
