Whetstone [New And Improved] Professional Grade Two-sided Knife Sharpener Stone 1000/6000 Grit With Non-Slip Silicone Base Holder- Plus Angle Guide And Instruction Manual.

Of course the technique will take some time for you to develop, but the stone itself will get you on your way to sharper knives, and ultimately better cutting skills. I'm happy with the coarseness and fineness of each side. So far I have sharpened 2 kitchen knives and my EDC pocket knife and I am happy with the results. The edges on all knives needed a lot of work after years of using pull-thru sharpeners, but after a few minutes with the stone I was already seeing a difference. This is the best way to get professional sharpened knives.

Works great. The little guide is practically useless, but the stone sharpens well. I'm a total novice, and have brought a good number of my kitchen knives up to "shave your arm hair" sharp. Note, if your knives are really shot, it will take a long time, (like 20+ minutes) to grind a good edge onto them with the 1000 grit - I should have also gotten a 400/800 for initial edge setting, but of course this isn't the fault of the product, just an FYI to other newbie sharpeners out there.

excellent whetstone, I have been a absolute madman with this thing going around and sharpening every knife I can get my hands on. all my knives, my girlfriends knives, and the knives at work are freshly sharpened. and I tell you there is nothing quite like a knife that will cut through a slab of meat or pile of produce with only the slightest suggestion from the wielder. in fact the only way I think the stones could be better is if they granted the freshly sharpened knives sentience so they could then prepare the food for you!!

This was a Christmas gift for the knife sharpener of the household. He has used it several times now and he says it "really makes the knife sharp". It seems fairly easy, too - with the other stone it seemed to take him longer to complete the job.

Great product. I have a Shun knife and was looking for a sharpening stone. Shun wanted $99 for theirs that had the same 1000/6000 grit as this one. Forget that noise, this got the job done perfectly.

Great stone for the price. It has definitely made sharpening easier to get a very sharp edge. You will need a rougher stone if your knives are dull, but this is a good medium stone.

My first stone. It does the job. Angle guide is not very useful to me. #6000/#1000 combination looks like the optimal one for non-professional use (my case)

I never knew I would enjoy sharpening knives so much! Love this product! I think my wife is sick of me sharpening every metal utensil that we own.
