Better than what you would find at Home Depot or Lowe’s

I’ve never had a sharpening stone. But I needed one to sharpen my detachable clipper blades. Instead of paying $10 a blade. (X 10 blades) this worked out great! I watched tutorial on utube. And the clipper blades for my oster76 are probably sharper then when they were new. Then I moved on to kitchen knives, a Henkels set, well that was easy with the guide guard thing that comes with. And reshaped the stone with the reshaping stone. Not only was this stone actually way better quality and larger than what I had seen at Home Depot and Lowe’s, but also I had fun sharpening stuff. Lol. Thanks.

Great product

Good quality waterstones at a budget price

I’m a recent convert to waterstones in my workshop, having used Arkansas stones and the “scary sharp” (sandpaper on a flat plate) methods for many years. Waterstones have a number of advantages over these methods. One, they cut much faster, and two, they can be had in extremely fine grits that produce a very fine edge. Downsides? They require regular flattening, and they generally cost a lot more than all but the most expensive Arkansas stones. These stones are surprisingly inexpensive- the set of two double stones cost half of what I paid for my best Arkansas hard stone. How well would they cut? The instruction sheet included with the stones was sketchy and didn’t provide any useful advice, so I relied on past experience and a few internet searches, I gave the coarser stone a brief soaking in cold water and dribbled water on the fine stone and chose one of my regularly used kitchen knives for sharpening. Unlike Arkansas oilstones, where the oil serves as a lubricant to carry off metal cut from the surface, the water applied to a waterstone crates a slurry with stone particles abraded off the surface, and its this slurry, not the surface of the stone, that does the actual cutting; you don’t want to wipe or rinse off the surface while you’re sharpening. Starting with the 800 grit, I drew the blade along the length of the stone on both sides with light pressure for a half dozen strokes, wiped of the blade, and switched to the next heavier grit. The trick here it’s to “feel” the edge of the blade so you’re actually sharpening the edge, which takes a fair amount of practice, and that’s what a set of stones like this may not be the best choice for occasional use in the kitchen. After a few tries I was rewarded with a renewed sharp edge. I then took the stones down to my basement workshop, where I sharpened the blade on one of my block planes, using a simple sharpening guide. Here I got much better results thanks to the guide, which holds the blade at a fixed angle. With only eight strokes on each stone I produced an extremely fine edge that was able to take thin, almost transparent shavings- see photos. Would I recommend these stones? Yes, but not for the kitchen. You don’t really need this fine an edge in the kitchen unless you’re a master sushi chef, and freehand sharpening on waterstones takes a fair amount of practice. But for sharpening woodworking tools I think they’re an extremely good value.

Get Your Feet Whet

I love sharpening my knives on whetstones. I find it meditative and so satisfying when I take a dull knife and can then glide it through a paper sheet. I do caution people that want to learn that it is not for everyone and it is not the best idea to dive all in until you know you will enjoy doing it. For $35 this is an easy buy in. Other than the purchase of the stones all you need is a flat sheet pan, some paper towels and a brick. Soak your stones for 10 min or so (I never keep track of this) While your stones are soaking, wet a couple of paper towels and wring them out. Put one under your sheet pan to keep it from slipping around and another under the brick you place in your pan. Then you set your stone in the holder and set it on top. Pour a little water on top of your stone and get to work. Wonderfully simple and costs so little to get started. This set has a 240 that is primarily for removing a lot of material quickly for those edges with chips in them. I wouldn’t recommend this for knives that are not in really bad shape. For really dull ones start at the 1000. The 3000 and 8000 are for polishing sharper knives to get that razor edge. There is a guide that clips on the blade to get you started with the angle, but I would recommend doing without it to get a feel for how to find the angle. There are many really good videos online that demonstrate the technique. I personally did not find it difficult and after a knife block or two of practice I find it immensely satisfying. This is a great variety of stone grit at an amazing value for a beginner.

Excellent whetstone for sharpening knives

After years of using a coarse, small sharpening stone, I finally got a real quality whetstone. Likes: - Good size. Handles large kitchen knives without problem. - Quality consistent-grit stone. Appears to be very nice quality stone. - Doesn't slide around while you work. Nice hefty weight and included silicone base keeps the stone in place while you sharpen. - Comes with resurfacing stone. This flat stone helps renew and flatten the surface after it becomes cupped, uneven, and dirty after use. - Comes with angle training wedge. Simply slip over opposite knife edge and it helps you achieve the proper angle of attack when sharpening. Good for checking your technique. - Comes with basic but clear instructions. Dislikes: - Zero complaints for the price. I'll update this review if there are any issues in the future. I got the finer-grit stone as my knives are already in good condition and don't need reforming, just light sharpening. The dual-grit fine stone has enough bite to sharpen a dull blade, but the finishing side is also fine enough for my needs. Recommended.
