I am giving this little unit top marks. I think it has everything any person would need, who wants to sharpen knives (and tools) on a stone. The two diamond grades are a good choice. Course for reshaping an edge (like taking a kitchen knife from an undetermined edge-angle near 20° to a solid, known 17° angle (good for lots of kitchen knives, except some Japanese styles which like a 14° or 15° edge.) The 'fine' diamond face of this block is very fast cutting, and will sharpen most edges in a few careful passes, if they're near-sharp. The ceramic face works so well at finishing, it's surprising how keen my knives were without stropping. My favorite part of the set is the little edge guide. It is of better Design than the similar one I use. I recommend that each user uses this pretty universally. It's low profile gives a very good read on the sought-after angle. I won't complain, or give marks off because I quietly felt the unit could be a little heavier. It works really well. It's non slip feet are pretty good, and it profits evn more from a little piece of non slip mat, if you have it. All in all very good. Competes well with the 2 sided Sharpal diamond stobe also sold on Amazon (currently for 2 very different prices). Of the 2 I'd choose the Sharpal, and would have a couple other gadgets (a very fine water stone, or some adhesive diamond paper, a leather strop, and compound, etc.) But I think a lot of people will like this unit. And I think they should. Read more

I got this stone initially to sharpen broadheads and it’s been great for that purpose and also sharpens knives very well. Sits very stable on the table top. I don’t like angle guide much and haven’t been using it. Read more

This was a good set up for the cost. It's not the best stones but should last a regular. One knife guy a long time.if you sharpen a lot for the cost sharpal is the way to go. This has 3 different sides for your course, medium gritam and finer grit. Angle molded plastic piece helps you hold the same angle which is important if you want I sharp This is a really good beginner set. Up. Read more

This makes knife sharpening of any kind fun and relatively easy to do. Definitely gets a blade razor sharp. It’s a great set with everything you need. I definitely recommend especially if your a starter. Read more

I was a Meatcutter for 13 years, I was happily surprised that this sharpener works really well! It did help that I already had muscle memory of what an angle to use so I didn’t need the little piece to help. I can cut a piece of paper with my knives now. It worked just as well on my butcher knife as it did my boning knife. Read more

Did not come with the angle guide. I don't need it, but it should have been there. The grits don't really match what I'm used to in a normal whetstone. However, this is my first diamond plate that uses this honeycomb grid style, so it may be just preference for me. I don't seem to removing nearly as much material on the 400 grit as I feel like I should be. The other two sides just feel decorative. If you get frustrated by lack of progress and put a little too much pressure on it, the base will try to bow and the plate fixture will pop in and out of it. Not a deal breaker, but it's annoying and I feel like maybe it shouldn't do that. The base also slides around with almost zero prompting if you're using it on a smooth surface like granite, marble or vinyl. I haven't completely given up on it. I still feel like there's a chance it could be more of a "me thing". If I change my mind about it, I'll come back and update, but as it stands, it doesn't seem to fit my needs. Read more
