While I haven't tried other jigs of this style, I would say, that for the price, this is quite worth it. As a butcher in an industrial setting, where using knives and making literal 10s-100s of thousands of cuts a day in a fast pace setting, having a sharp edge is critical to conserving energy. I can tell you that learning to keep a consistent angle is a skill and technique that can take some time to master. THIS TAKES ALL THE SKILL AND NECESSARRY TECHNIQUE out of the equation. To get the edge consistency this offers, for how little time it takes, is a game changer. V notch sharpeners are all trash. Even your scrap steel kitchen knives can be made very capable with this jig. If you ever get frustrated with kitchen knives that just aren't sharp, give this a try. It sets up in a minute or 2, and only takes about that long once you get the hang of it. Read more

My husband is enjoying this product as a replacement for our lanskey sharpening kit, and while it seems to be working well so far, we were very disappointed by some falsness in the product description. It said there should be a plastic box for storage, I've included a screenshot of the description for the option we picked. It also should have included a strop and polishing cream, which were also missing, I've included the materials included from the option we picked in this review as well. I hope this helps. UPDATE: The seller was very helpful once they realized pieces were missing! They replaced not just the missing leather strop, but sent along complementary stones as well. They also thanked us for letting us know of the inaccuracy of the plastic box in the description, as this set does not come with one. Which is ok, I can order one to fit in my hunting closet and make sure it fits the dimensions I need. Great product! Great seller! I highly recommend! Sharpened our whole hunting knife collection prior to hunt (about 25 knives all shapes and sizes because we do our own butchering) and haven't even had to break into the new set of stones. Read more

Iβll give it 5 stars. It definitely will sharpen a precision edge. It takes time using the different stones. But when you are through you can shave with it. Used on a boning knife and a Case XX skinning knife. Holds the knife solid and flips the blade over so you donβt loose your angle. Good buy for the price. Read more

This is a nice fixed angle system for beginners. Solid aluminum construction. Multiple sharpening stones. Angle guide. Holds the knife well. Definitely some draw backs: No actual diamond plates... Only these ceramic ones and these others which feel like bricks. You know, red bricks. They are completely messy. And the courses stone takes a bit to create a burr on a already sharp knife. The handle to hold the swing arm is too small, and because it is a two-piece system, it will loosen as you go. I should of paid better attention. Now I'm going to have to buy actual diamond plates. This could of been an awesome value if only they included two or three diamond plates and got rid of this crap. Most of it is going to be useless.... (This app again! Will not let me upload my pics) Read more
