Grocery Art Whetstone Knife Sharpener - Knife Sharpening Stone - Waterstone 1000-6000 Grit with Non-Slip Bamboo Base and Angle Guide - Best Wet Stone Kitchen Knives Sharpening Kit

Prior to this, we used one of those "wheel" sharpeners where you pull the knife blade across the wheels in the slot. This did an ok job over the years but I always wondered how a whetstone would work. I even considered sending our kitchen knives away to be sharpened professionally. Well I'm so happy that I purchased this whetstone instead. After a couple times, I have a good feel and rhythm for drawing the knife across the stone. I don't even use the guide. It's so great having sharp knives again that slice cleanly through bell peppers, tomatoes, etc. It's also safer letting a sharp blade do the cutting instead of monkeying around with dull blades. I'm so happy I made this purchase.

If you like sharpening knives and get a real since of pride from doing it and doing it well, then i'd honestly recommend this to you. Once a month I sit down and take the time to sharpen all the knives in the house. This feels really therapeutic and has given me a great since of pride when the knives cut easily.However, this is a slow process. This is not a situation where you just run the knife over this a few times and expect it to be sharp. No, this is a situation where you need to sit down and run a knife over this 10 or so times on each side nice and slow. The results will speak for themselves!

Decent stones. Getting good results so far. Base is nice. The sharpening guide isn't awesome but it works. Not sure how long that plastic thing will hold up. I don't think anyone will be getting razor sharp results but I was able to give very useable life to some "dead" kitchen knives and sharpen up a bunch of pocket knives for everyday use.I'm not shaving the hair off my arm after using only these stones, that's for certain but overall a good value for the money.

I knew what I was paying for and I received exactly that! I know how to use this and I use it and get the quality I expected.No difference from other 'stones' costing several dollars less. Shop around folks and find a good deal. I think these sets are all the same.Shipping was fast but packaging was not secure and the outer box was damaged because item was sent in a plastic bag mailer.

This was my first time using a whetstone and the bamboo base make securing the stone very easy. I had a set of kitchen knives that were very wore down and dull but this product made sharpening an easy task. My old knives cut better than new. Would recommend this product to anyone. Also note this whetstone is listed on amazon for a higher cost but this seller has the best price for the same product. Thanks for the great product.

Arrived with a chip out of the corner but doesn’t affect its use. Only used once to try & sharpen my kitchen knives and don’t see a difference yet.I’ll try a few more times, maybe my knives are just too dull and need to be professionally sharpened

Really good whetstone sharpening stone for chef's knives, especially for Santoku Japanese type scalloped edge Chef's knife. With 1000 grit stone for reshaping knife edge and 6000 grit stone for refining and honing, finally leaving an edge on the knife like a razor! Super product! Bamboo wooden base is a good choice for base as bamboo has natural hygienic properties to keep cleanliness at top level. Also natural rubber mat keeps base from slipping on work-surface, even when wet.

This sharpening stone works like a charm BUT it takes a lot of work. After 15 minutes on the 1000 and ten minutes on the 6000 my previously sharpish knife was like a samurai sword, slicing effortlessly through over-ripe tomato.
