Smith’s 50591 Diamond-Arkansas Precision Knife Sharpening System - Portable Sharpening Kit w/ Pouch - 3 Sharpening Stones - Honing Solution - Serrated & Straight Blades - V-Lock Vise + Angle Guide

Smith knive sharping kit is great!Definitely recommend buying this product

He absolutely loves it. He had a previous one that he used to hell and back. That can tell you how much he uses it & every time he whipped the old one out, he would start telling me how the quality of the set made the quality of our knives so much better. And I do see a HUGE difference with the sharpness of the edges (if done correctly). Just be careful not to hurt yourself while sharpening the knives!

The threaded rod doesn't stop in a proper position. The case that it comes in is cheap very hard to put everything back in place, virtually impossible, and has ripped the elastic strap that holds everything in place has torn the threads out.

My mom loved it she said it was great gift easy to use and leaves her knives razor sharp

I purchased the Smith’s sharpening system in preference to the Lansky. On receiving the unit and on assembly found the that the screwed rod does not screw into the yellow stone. It appears as if the threaded holes is to large for the rod. If screwed in it just pulls out. Absolutely poor workman ship and zero quality control. How can a basic thing like this get missed?The Smith system works well in my opinion better than the Lansky but did not expect this from a reputable product. As I am not in the USA returning the unit is not an option. Would expect Amazon to supply a new yellow stone.Chris Cato

Sharpened my knife pretty good! Just remember that it doesn't go all they way down to 17 degrees only 20,25,30 and 35. For general use knives it's great. For kitchen knives, I would get something else.

I got this awhile back thinking it might be better than my Lansky but it has the same inherent problems. There is no consistency in the angle(s) because the flimsy rods bend & flex. You can minimize this by being 'gentle' while sharpening but there is no way possible to get the same angle when you change stones/rods.Might as well get better at hand sharpening or save your money & get a a Wicked Edge system (which is what I'm doing). Meanwhile my best knives go to a pro like TheApostleP (see YouTube)

Works exactly how it should. Great kit!
