Knife Sharpening Stone Kit 4 Side Whetstone Sharpener, Premium 400/1000 3000/8000 Grit Wet Stone Set, Water Stone with Non-slip Bamboo Base, Flatting Stone, Angle Guide and Leather Strop

I have a very nice set of water stones from a high-end sharpening company, which have served me well for years. I bought this kit to keep in a cabin we got in Alaska because I couldn't justify spending the same money on a second set. To my surprise, these stones look every bit as good as my current ones. Caveat: I have not yet used them, much less used them long enough to confirm they'll be as durable as my existing stones, but first impressions are very favorable. The spread in grits is just about perfect, and the bamboo stone holder looks solid. Don't follow the written instructions; instead look for a Youtube video from a channel such as Burrfection.

Overall this is just okay as a set. I was hoping for that diamond in a rough, but that was not the case. I have had better results from better name brand 400/1000 and a separate strop. The strop that came with this set is really not good and was falling apart right away. I have another strop I use so I did not sweat it, but the included strop is not good.My main issue is the 8000 grit stone. Maybe I got a lemon stone because I don't see anyone else saying the same thing. However, my 8000 stone is very rough. It is rougher than the 400 stone. I wasted a lot of time ruining my honed edge after the 3000 store thinking the 8000 stone would make it even sharper. I knew subjectively that when I ran my finger across the stones that the 8000 one felt so much rougher than the others, but my head was telling me that it was the 8000 grit stone and should be used last. Finally now, I have actually used it to reprofile an edge and it actually worked well!!!!One other oddity is that I swear I get better results using these stones dry as opposed to soaking them. Maybe that is a sharpening style or something, but the higher brand name stone I replaced was better when wet.Overall, good price, but I am not sure it is still worth it. Maybe sometimes it is better to just pay more for proven quality despite hating to do so.

Just what I needed (the strap is a bit lame.) but I purchased for the stones I have a good quality strap.

Mainly using 1000 stone doing a good job so far,the flattening stone had some chips on edges out of the box.

Not a bad purchase. I was expecting larger stones, but they did ok. A couple of the corners were chipped, but overall, it has everything as mentioned. I had to lay the leather down and hold it vs using something to clip onto something more solid. A suction type of clip or something like that would have been nice, after all its being used in the kitchen.

good stones. stones make knives sharp. dont use the edge guide it will scratch your knives

Sharpens knives as it should.

I love knife sharpening. Been doing it for many many years, this whetstone pack is perfect for almost every knife.
