Extra Large Silicon CarbideKnife Sharpening Stone Kit - 1000/6000 Wet Stone - Whetstone Knife Sharpener Stone Set with Non-Slip Wood Base, Angle Guide

very good right now. Time will tell how good for how long.

I have to say I like this set! If you have someone that has knives in your life this would make an excellent gift. I used this at first on my hunting knife. It took a minute to get used to this set but two wet stones did a great job. My knife is a little larger, about a 10 inch blade. I was able to get a very sharp edge and it didn't take hardly any time at all. I looked up some videos but this set could probably be priced higher. Good whetstones aren't cheap. I also did a couple of my cooking knives and had the same great results. The presentation and box really helps make this a great gift. It will make the receiver think you spent a lot more on it than you did.

I am a big fan of this sharpening set. It comes with 2 wet stones that are 3000 and 6000 grit. The guide is good for large knives to get the correct angle and the holder works well for the stones. It is more difficult to sharpen smaller knives but with some practice is isn't that difficult. You can sharpen your knives to a very sharp edge fairly quickly.

So, first off, I love the look of this kit, it sits out on my wet bar in the basement.I was pretty green with sharpening stones, but with the included instructions, I caught on quick. It is a bit of a pain to pre-plan your knife sharpening (by having to soak your stones) but this kit has everything you need to get started and finish.

I found the included angle guide to hurt more than it helped. After watching J Kenji Lopez Alt talk about knife sharpening on YouTube, I just went for it freehand, and actually didn't have much trouble making it work for me.... But there is definitely a learning curve, as keeping the angle consistent and at least close to a proper angle is critical.Some other sharpeners do a lot more to help or even perfect that angle, but the large size of these blocks seems helpful if you are going to do it freehandI didn't find the included instructions to be especially clear or easy to follow, I would definitely recommend watching a video or two, and starting with a knife you don't care about.

I was very impressed with this set when I opened it up. Nicely packaged in a box which will serve as good storage when not in use. Wood base is large and sits well, has a rubber pad that grips the stone and prevents it from wiggling around. Stones are wider and larger then most sets I have seen or owned. 1000 grit whetstone and a dry 6000 grit, most kits don't go with the higher grit. The 6000 will get you a very keen edge. Sharpening angle aid included so you can learn how to get the right angle. Two other smaller stones included, one for flattening the stones, the other (something I have never seen in a kit before) is a stain and rust removing stone. This is a nice gift for any knife collector or in your kitchen for putting razor edges on your fine kitchen knives. Pretty good instructions included. Not a bad price for this quality.

Large surface area of stones permits longer strokes when sharpening, thus helps to maintain the presentation angle of the blade to the stone.6000 grit stone will produce a razor edge when used properly.Non slip feature of base is most effective used on a smooth, hard surface.Using this on large tools like hatchets or axes is possible, it will cup the surface of any stone which will greatly reduce this tools ability to function like it was new.

This knife sharpening stone kit is a must-have for culinary enthusiasts, providing a professional edge. Its large size is great for various tools, though storage might be cumbersome.
