Very useful guidelines for sharpening
I use a variety of leatherworking knives that need different sharpening angles, so it's hard to get the muscle memory right. I use these at the start of the whetstone so that when i start a stroke of the knife and return back to the origin, i can ensure my angle is precise. It works well

Godsend
For anyone who has good kitchen knives ground to angles different than the 'normal' 20°, these are very handy. They are a bit fiddly to use but glueing them to a suitable bit of wood helps with the grinding and honing.

so I could teach myself what certain angles felt like whilst sharpening my knives
I bought these wedges, rather than a sharpening system, so I could teach myself what certain angles felt like whilst sharpening my knives.I use mine with an Icebear waterstone and whilst the supplied rubberbands are too big, with some smaller bands, it all works great. IIt can mark the side of your blades though, as the slurry works its ways up the wedge.

Not for me.
Not a fan. They're too small in width compared to the width of the whetstone and as they sit on the whetstone, it takes up some of the sharpening surface. Would have liked bigger angles such as 25 or even 30 instead of the some of the angles provided.

Solved my useless skill
I have never, ever been able to sharpen a knife, not properly anyway. I have a Fallkniven TK3 and it had lost its edge. It is far to nice and expensive a knife not to be used so I purchased these guides. It took a few minutes as the blade was very blunt but now.......sharp enough to cut paper. Very pleased that the guides have solved my useless sharpening skills.

Does the job
Does the job. It helps big time with setting the right angle for knife sharpening.

Great Accessory...
Great Accessory and a great idea... But well over-priced for what they are hence only 4 stars.Just 11 x small moulded plastic guides with some rubber bands covering pretty much every angle you will need for your kitchen knives.They do the job perfectly and using these with my (2000/5000) whetstone I have put factory sharp edges on my knives. These really do take the guessing out of the correct angle to use.You will need to check what the factory supplied angles are for your knives which is a fairly easy task on the web, although I can tell you that generally angles are 14/15˚ per side for European knives & 10/11˚ each side for Japanese/Asian blades.TBH... If you have the woodworking tools, a protractor and a free afternoon then you could probably make the ones you need using this idea.
