Diamond Whetstone Kit – 3-in-1 Sharpening System with 400G / 600G / 1000G Grit Stones for Knives, Chisels, Scissors & Cutting Tools

Amazing product , easy to use if you know how or use a honing guide with it , worth every penny

im happy so far with these diamond stones, as long as they are looked after there is minimal difference in quality between these and some more expensive brands. the slip resistant rubber on the bottom does fall off but easily fixed with either glue or a slip proof mat. overall they are easy to use and give a good sharp finish.

I have a cheap set of six flat edge chisels that I use for general work like cutting out notches for door hinges and catches, removing bits of wood containing nails scraping off old paint, opening tins of paint because they're to hand at the time... I am not a master woodworker, just a self taught chisel wielding DIYer. So my chisels are regularly blunted, dented and get their corners knocked off. I have a whetstone, been using it for over 20 years, and I hate it. I hate the smell, I hate the noise, and most of all I hate the mess. I usually end up using the wrong size chisel because it's the only one that is still sharp. Finding my whetstone had gone mouldy I wondered if there was an alternative and came across the Faithfull Diamond Whetstone Sharpening Kit on Amazon. I placed the base on a large fluffy dust cloth just to stop it sliding on my table. I used a chisel sharpening jig to ensure I got the angle correct. I used no oil or other lubricants. I applied only enough pressure to slide the blade evenly across the surface and I pushed the blade forwards and backwards slowly, roughly one forward and back movement per second. I used the 400 grit to to deburr, get the corners back and correct the angle of the cutting edge . This work took the most time. I used the 600 grit to sharpen up, followed by the 1000 grit to hone the edge. Yes it did hone the edge well: I sliced my thumb open when I gently ran it along my sharpened 32mm chisel to test it. Far sharper than I ever managed with an oiled whetstone. The fluffy duster meanwhile caught all the fine steel dust and I used it to dry wipe the 'stones' before putting them away. Result? I actually enjoy sharpening my chisels, and they're now getting sharpened every time I've used them. I may even stop opening tins of paint with them...

Good value for money

I have been using these for some months now, with a Veritas honing guide. They get chisels and plane blades sharp! 400 and 600 grits for reprofiling (takes time) and the 1000 for touch up honing. Have supplemented with 3000 grit (very cheap) diamond stone but it's not of the same quality (and a Beaver Craft leather strop). I also use erasers to clean up the metal swarf after. They work with lapping oil (more clean up required) or dry. For woodwork enthusiasts and hobbyists they are ideal and represent value for money.

I was pleased with the look and feel of this product for the price especially as I'm new to sharpening Chisels and I didn't want to spend nigh on 100 Euros on one 300/1000 stone right now. Maybe in the future when I am more experienced but right now this is perfect for my purposes as a woodworker learning his craft. The case is well built as long as ur not cack handed dropping it from great heights it should last a long time.. I love the product even though some will slag them off saying they're not better than the thicker plates steel with Diamonds in it. Don't ask me about the process of making the more expensive ones but these are fine for me. I get the woodworker with 30 years experience not wanting these but if u are a beginner wanting to not spend fortunes then these stones are a gift at 40 odd euros. I also bought the Magnusson 7 Chisel set with their stone but I got these for that little extra bit of class when it comes to sharpening the chisel lads.. Give em a whirl.. Worth the money for me anyways

Sharpened a plane iron and a couple of chisels. Good product.

It was a very cheap way to try some diamond honing plates, but the plates are very thin, with plastic blocks that can flex a bit, and after honing a few chisels, and commissioning a couple of plane irons they’re worn out and don’t do much. I replaced these with a branded metal slab, 2-sided (400 & 1000) diamond honing plate, that only cost 1.5x as much and it’s loads better. Munch better bite, and doesn’t flex. That might wear out as quickly though, hard to know. I didn’t find I used the middle grit for sharpening woodworking tools, but it may be useful for other things.

Supporti in plastica storti. Non usabile per affilature che richiedono superfici piatte, come scalpelli e ferri per pialla. Per altri utensili possono andare, ma il prezzo è troppo alto, considerando la qualità

Ordentliche Verarbeitung, angenehme Größe. Gute Abtragung auch nach längerem Einsatz. Leichte Mängel in der Planheit, für mich als Heimwerker aber noch im grünen Bereich. Preis-Leistung sehr gut.

Billigt och helt ok vad mer kan man önska

Too early to tell how long they will last, but so far working well.
