Heavy duty quality stones. Easy to use and works well

Good product

I got this to sharpen my knives. I've only need to do this a few times a year, and so far it's worked pretty well. The guide is useful if you're new to sharpening knives. I like that it has two grits, which allows me to do a rough and finer sharpening. The base is solid and has been holding up so far. Make sure you follow the directions and soak the whetstone for at least 10 minutes before sharpening knives. I like to follow this with a leather strop.

Nobody told me not to use a slab of concrete as a cutting board or not to use steel wool to clean the blades of my knives, so I've been living with some incredibly dull knives, and this whetstone has saved the day.Kidding aside, the instructions were pretty good, though I recommend first watching a professional chef perform the sharpening process on YouTube or another site. I didn't end up using the angle guidance tool they provide with the whetstone, as I found it easier to find my preferred sharpening angle by eye (start with 90 degrees to the whetstone, then cut that in half (pun intended) to get to 45, then again to get to 22.5, then lower a few millimeters to get to the 15-20 degree sweet spot).The result after a few passes was great: no burs along the edge and no dull spots. The package comes with a non-slip base and silicone holder for the whetstone, so I was never worried that it might slip.

I’ve recently switched from the “never needs sharpening “ knives to a more professional knife which will need sharpening. I ordered this set in anticipation of that need. While I haven’t used it yet, here are first impressions:1. Size and set up are thoughtful and well crafted.2. Instructions are clear3. Bonus: a guide that you snap on knife so that you get the proper angle whilst sharpening. Game changer here.I believe I will be quite happy with this purchase. BTW: acquiring a quality kitchen knife is a game changer.

As many others have stated, the grits are reversed. Just going by the scratch pattern, the white side is coarser but softer and builds a slurry faster. the blue side is harder does not build a slurry and has a finer scratch pattern. The actual grit???? NOT 1000/6000 This is a very slow cutting stone but for cheap it will maintain your kitchen knives if you don't let them get too dull. The nagura(dressing stone) is nice to build a slurry but will take some time to flatten the sharpening stone. The stand is nice to elevate the stone off the counter and contain the slurry and water. The angle holder is an OK teaching tool for a beginner to show you how to position the knife. It does leave marks the knife so use with caution. I don't believe it is a good stone for beginners as it does not deliver good feedback and can lead to frustration. It does seem to be durable and has found a home in our camper. Save up a little and get a true 1000/6000 KDS which has a softer feel or Cerax 1000/6000 harder/faster cutting (just my 2 cents). Either should last for years.

Complete instructions included. Easy to follow. Put a good edge on a well-worn blade.
