Knife Sharpening Stone Kit, KERYE Professional Japanese Whetstone Sharpener Stone Set, Premium 4 Side Grit 400/1000 3000/8000 Water Stone, Flattening Stones, Angle Guide, Leather Strop, Anti Cut Glove

Wonderful Item. Good for begginers and decent for more skilled individuals.The only thing I'll say is that I hate the angle guide. The stones themselves are great, and if used properly can keep an incredible edge on kitchen knives, throwing knives and light throwing axes, short swords, and combat/survival knives.(With that, as long as you don't have a 2 foot blade or longer, these are perfect) good size too.

Exactly as described, great price, and easily sharpens some pretty beat up knives. Works amazingly well

This is a good product for anyone's first wet stone. That being said the gloves and leather strop are worthless don't try to use them just throw them away. The gloves are woven with a thin plastic wire my knife that hasn't been sharpened three months cut through it like butter and the leather strop is too soft to do anything thing to a steel knife. The sharpening guide depending on where you look in the guide says it is supposed to be 18-20 degrees but when I checked it in multiple different ways it measured to be 5-6 degrees. Though it is meant to be used temporarily to help get a feel of the angle and not to be relied upon. The price is low enough and the quality of everything else is good enough to justify the purchase. I would still recommend it.

I have been sharpening knives since I was a kid. While I cannot say I am an expert … I am by no means a novice either. I fall right in the sweet spot of knowing enough to hurt myself. Over the years, I have had to learn and unlearn techniques that were either handed down or learned.I’ve used a basic whetstone for years that had a sharpening side and a polishing side. I have been meaning to try out something more ritual than the quick and easy sharpener. The problem with easy .. or should I say fast sharpeners is that you can end up damaging your blade or not get the proper bevel on it.What I liked about this kit is that it comes (or should have come) with everything you need to put a decent edge on your blade. The 400/1000 stone in this set is soft but useable. You will have to be careful not to bowl it. Because it is so soft it makes keeping a steady angle more difficult but you just have to use gentle smooth motions. I’ve switched to my cheap 200/400-ish cheap tool stone from harbor freight for cutting a bevel when the blade has either been damaged or did not have a proper bevel.I own a nice variety of tactical knives, so I went to work on a few of them. Now to properly sharpen and polish a knife takes time. Roughly an hour a knife is fair depending on your ability. But it does take time and practice to do it properly. So start off on a knife that you aren’t fond of first, if you are more on the novice side. Working on consistency is the key to this process. The pressure of the blade on the stone and the angle are extremely important to a good edge. So practice and soon you will be able to sharpen your favorite knife to a fine edge.The User Manual goes over the basics and I would recommend working through a few free online videos if you need some pointers. There are plenty of them out there.I appreciate you taking the time to read this. All in all, is this product worth the price. In the research I have done in comparing this product with competitors. It is right in the median price range. I found this to be a nice all-in-one kit. Hope this information was helpful. [5 Stars]

Good product. I am new to whet stone but after watching multiple videos, I'm getting the hang of it.

I have an old set of kitchen knives that I wanted to throw away. I was looking at the new set and realize that it is pretty expensive to replace it so I figured it would be more cost effective to sharpen the knives. After reading a lot of reviews and looking at different products, I decided to get this.From the start, product comes beautifully package, really neat and looks like a lot of care is taken to put it together. Package includes angle holder, a pair of cut resistant gloves, leather, flattening stone and 4 different grits stone. Each grit has its own function which is provided in the instruction brochure.It is really easy to use, definitely try to maintain the angle of your knife as you sharpen it on the stone. Take your time on it, I spent about 5-7mins on each knife that I have, slowly stepped up on the grits, from 400 (remove chips/nicks), 1000 (general purpose) to 3000 (meat) to 8000 (vegetables/fruits), stopping at grit intended for the knife function.Overall, I am very happy with the product. Sharpens the knives well, especially if you take your time on the process.
