Sharpening Stone, Whetstone with Angle Guide Non-Slip Bamboo Base grit 1000/6000 Knife Sharpeners, Professional 2-in-1 Wetstone

I've been using this nearly a year now(11 months), I spend about 10-15 minutes per side of the blade on the 1000 & about the same for the 6000 side of the stone, it still sharpens/honing all of my knives (particularly my Global G-46 Santoku Knife) decently & sharp enough to slice through all meats & veggies with no problems, also fingers as well, so be careful ;) The stone has not chipped, broken off, or worn down at all for that matter, at least not in any visable way I can see, durable enough for me so far! There's no mould growth anywhere, both the rubber ring grip that sits around the stone & the rubber grip on the base are perfect with no wearing, blade holder still in great condition, for what it is it's still doing a good job after all this time, much better result than knife sharpeners that require you to drag the blade through, which does nothing other than giving them a jagged/rough burred edge which dulls a lot faster. Overall this is a decent little block that is still doing a damn good job for what it is.

I’m really impressed by the quality of this item. It has a well made bamboo base, which is sturdy and doesn’t slip. The stones work well to effectively sharpen my knives (I use this for my Japanese knives) - with clear instructions on how to effectively use it. I had some issues with care of the item and the customer service was really excellent. Very clear and quick communication, and they were able to offer guidance and even replace parts of the item. Worth buying from this company for the customer service.

I watched a video on sharpening technique, they were experts and my first attempts were very good, with sone more practice I got some very good results which i am very happy with, my global knives now have a new very sharp edge, some of my older knives also have a new lease of life, overall it does what it says on the tin.......

Very effective

I have been using a steel to sharpen my knives for years. I thought they were fairly sharp, but after using this, I realise they were not. The difference is astonishing. Although this is a bit of a pain to initiate, as it has to be soaked for 15 minutes, it is well worth it if you are sharpening all your knives. It does make a bit of a mess, so use it where it can be easily wiped up. The knife angle guide just gets in the way. I used it initially to get an idea of the angle, but found it much easier without it once I got a feel for the angle. Initially I used too much pressure on the knife, but soon found it easier without a lighter touch. I guess the more you use it, the more you get used to it, and the easier it becomes. One thing I do know is that my knives are amazingly sharp now, and I will never use a steel again! Get this, you won’t regret it!

This stone works quite well, and I used it to finally get my Buck knife into its best sharpness after having never sharpened it since 1980, when my wife gave it to me for Father's Day. It's actually the best sharpening stone I've ever bought and well worth the modest price. It's quite easy to use. It's very sturdy, and the holder makes a large positive difference over stones without such interfaces. I actually love using it. My wife was amused to see me start sharpening all the knives in the kitchen. But not the table or butter knives. Those obviously don't need to be sharp -- but maybe I could do it anyway! <smile> Not that it matters a lot, but the included "guide" that is supposed to help hold the knife at the right angle is virtually useless. If you have a knife without a curve, and of a particular width, it might hold the knife at the correct angle. My Buck knife, for example, is too narrow, and only about a half centimeter of the blade shows when its inserted into the guide. That obviously won't work.

The actual quality of the piece I can't find fault with.. on pure quality I would give 5/5 and the price is equally attractive. However, personal usability is another matter. For my needs, several broad knives and cleavers, it's too narrow for me, personally, to be comfortable working with, I can, however, accept that others may be fully proficient with working with something this size. At 6cm across (the measurements were listed I should have double checked), it is aprox 1/3 -1/4 the width of my blades and is inconvenient to use, this is remedied somewhat by using it lengthwise at an angle, but then the angle guide, which at the moment I still require, becomes useless as the spines of my blades are then nowhere near the stone and the guide has nowhere to guide from. Secondly, the guide itself, ...as I understand grinding, the optimal angle of the blade should be 30 degrees so that when done on both sides the cutting edge is 15 degrees, unfortunately the guide requires a standard depth of blade to be useful as the further the spine is from the blade the higher the leverage necessary to attain the 30 degree slope, and for my blades the angle is too obtuse resulting in a very fragile and useless edge, so the guide, in my particular case, will not produce desired results even had I room on the stone to use it effectively. As I said, these issues are particular to my situation and may not be relevant to others, I will either have to gain greater proficiency, or opt for a different set.

I recently purchased the Sharpening Stone and it has truly transformed my knife maintenance routine! The results are fantastic – my knives are now as sharp as ever. At first, I must admit, it took a bit of practice to get the technique down, but with some patience and persistence, I quickly improved. The stone's quality is undeniable, and once you get the hang of it, the sharpening process becomes a breeze. My kitchen tools have never been this sharp, and I'm excited to continue honing my skills. Highly recommend this Sharpening Stone to anyone willing to put in a little effort for outstanding results!

Essayé pour la première fois hier et très agréablement surpris de voir la différence de mes couteaux pour une pierre de ce prix là 👍👍

Chyba ostrzy. Choć łatwe to nie jest. Potrzeba wprawy.

Muy buen producto. Deja mis cuchillos super afilados con ambos tipos de piedra. El suplemento o guía ayuda sobretodo en los cuchillos largos. En los cortos no.

Geschenk & Anspruch Der SHAN ZU Schleifstein war ebenfalls ein Geschenk für einen Azubi in der Gastronomie, passend zum Küchenmesser. Für ihn ist ein Nass-Schleifstein ein absolutes Muss, da er seine Messer regelmäßig selbst schärft. Körnung & Einsatz Die Kombination aus 1000er Körnung (zum Schärfen und Ausbessern) und 6000er Körnung (für den Feinschliff) ist sehr sinnvoll und deckt alles ab, was man im Alltag braucht. Für Anfänger gilt: Die Handhabung will etwas geübt sein, am besten zunächst an einem nicht ganz so hochwertigen Messer. Material & Verarbeitung Der Schleifstein macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Der Bambussockel mit rutschfester Silikonauflage sorgt für einen sicheren Stand, nichts verrutscht während des Schleifens. Auch die mitgelieferte Winkelführung ist gerade für den Einstieg hilfreich. Optik & Aufbewahrung Auch optisch überzeugt das Set: Die Holzaufbewahrung sieht hochwertig aus und macht sich gut in der Küche oder Werkstatt. Alltag & Pflege Der Stein wird klassisch mit Wasser verwendet, kein Öl nötig. Reinigung und Handhabung sind unkompliziert. Fazit Ein sehr hochwertiger, durchdachter Schleifstein für alle, die ihre Messer selbst schärfen möchten. Besonders für ambitionierte Hobbyköche oder Azubis in der Gastronomie eine sehr gute Wahl.
