S SATC Diamond Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 400/1000 Diamond Plate Honing Stone 8-inch Hone Sharpener

Does the job. Spent 5 mins sharpening one of our dull kitchen knives and it was paper slicing sharp in no time.

AN IDEAL BEGINNER'S STONE - Amazon carrys hundreds of brand-variants on the 35¢ double sided cheap silicate soaking stones. Some sellers charge $18 some $48. These are poor. Very hard to learn on. If you want to learn to sharpen knives, BUY A DOUBLE SIDED DIAMOND STONE like this instead. Sharpening on this stone (or the more expensive, but similar Sharpal that's well rated) is much easier when learning. This has the two indispensable grit ranges. If you can learn to 1.) hold your angle consistently. 2.) form a bevel (about the same) on both sides, and 3.) use your fingers to feel, follow the Burr you will be on your way! - Oh. Burr is important. Be sure to learn about burr. 400 grit shapes your angle & cuts the serrations all the way to the edge that successive grits refine, then hone. 1000 grit finishes. 1000 grit is the coursest fine stone or the finest coarse stone. Honing with a strop after 1000 grit sharpening is an acceptable substitute for laboring up through the grits. (I say this, but I often do sharpen on 2000 before honing) A whisper sharp & keen edge can be quickly made and maintained on any kitchen knife with this stone, and some stropping on leather. Finer grits bring some refinement at the expense of considerable work time. Grits above 3000 hone more than sharpening - reducing the coarseness of the corrugation - the 'Scratch Lines' cut by the low grit & middle grit passes. Above 5000 grit the stones become expensive because of complex traditional factors of Japanese blade culture. Essential for shaving with sharp straight razors. Not useful really for kitchen knives. Diamond compound (cheap or pricey) on a leather strop probably a quicker easier honing method. Save money. Enjoy this stone. Learn. Have sharp knives.

Bought by mistake....but looking at it versus actually using it, it looks to be a quality plate, and having read some reviews, people say this is a really good way to polish knives.

Good for fast stock removal on 400 grt and fine finish on the 1000grt. Price is good compared to other quality stones. If you're into sharpening often,on a budget, go for this. Best bang for your buck.

Recebi uma pedra de amolar suja, e nitidamente usada, pois a pedra está arranhada... Sugiro informar que se trata de uma peça usada... Pois assim teria oportunidade de aceitar ou rejeitar...
