Sharp Pebble Knife Sharpening Stones Kit -Grits 400/1000/6000 Extra Large Whetstone- Wet Stone Knives Sharpener Set with NonSlip Bamboo Base & Flattening Stone

Really well made and designed set; works very well.

great

The grit numbering is incorrect. Not sure how the manufacturing plant screwed that up.My white stone was numbered 6000 but is 400 grit; blue stone numbered 1000 but is 6000 grit; green stone numbered 400 but is 1000strap.Not only can you feel it, you can hear it. The higher the grit, the higher the pitch when you drag steel across it.Pretty frustrating to have to figure out. Other than that they are good, perfectly flat stones. I use them to sharpen chisels, planer blades, kitchen/hunting/pocket knives. You also get a lot for what you pay. Would have happily paid another $20 if the kit included a quality leather strop.

I wish to state that i am not an expert to sharpening chisels. The 400, 1000, 4000 and 6000 stones worked great. I could not polish my chisels with the 8000 for a mirror finish. I had to pull out a Norton stone to polish the surface. That being said the set is well worth the money. I would spend extra for a 8000 stone for the final step. Again a great value.,

Needed to sharpen our kitchen knives and after watching a few videos felt confident in purchasing this item. Followed the instructions for preparing it for use and also bought the guide for the knife but ditched and found it very easy to freehand sharpen. The instructions were simple enough and was able to sharpen three large knives quickly. The base lays flat and doesn’t slide making it safe and secure. Would definitely recommend.

The stones are oversized which is helpful, and the set has the three stones that anyone would want for a basic set, plus a stone to level any grooves made in the sharpening stones. Coarse for a damaged blade, medium for general sharpening and a fine stone for finishing. I had no trouble with the stones slipping once I had aquired some technique. Each stone has a rubber gasket that locks it into the wooden base, and the base has a rubber matt on its bottom to keep it from moving too much.This is my first foray into the world of stone sharpening. I watched several YouTube how-to videos and this product specifically was compared to a more expensive glass backed stone (industry high quality standard) that is 5x more expensive. This product was shown to be reasonably comparable, though not as good as the most expensive stone on the market, as expected, but it wasn't far behind in quality. For a beginner like me, or a thrifty person, this proves how good of a value this stone is and that it is a good stone for someone who wants a functionally sharp knife for the kitchen. I was able to sharpen my knives (one of which had the tip dull to the point of a table knife) to razor sharpness and I was able to slice a piece of paper with just the weight of the knife quite easily when I was done. My knives cut like new (high quality wustoff knives that are now 10 years old) and I was able to learn the basics of the technique very quickly after an hour of watching youtube and practicing with my cheapest knife. I'm very satisfied with this product.For reference, I cook 4 days a week on average, from scratch, so i am constantly chopping something and I know what a good knife should feel like when it cuts through something.

When I ordered these sharpening stones, I did not realize that I was buying such a luxury kit!I have now used these stones to sharpen two knives, some garden shears, and to finish the edge on a hatchet. Everything worked perfectly.Up until now I only used a whetstone that I had purchased many years ago. I just could not make the knife fully sharp. Now I realize it is because of the inadequate whetstone.

If you're new to wet stones, these are fun. Or if you sharpen a lot of tools and don't want to wear out you're more expensive stones on rough use blades these are nice. They will dish out with time but that's the character of all water stones. I keep mine submerged in a tub all the time, and they haven't degraded at all.
