" ... I recommend testing your sharpening skills on a knife that is not of your highest quality. ... This particular knife was pretty sharp out of the box ... I used it on an old Swiss Army Knife and others just to see how sharp I can get it, and there cutting like it was this new Damascus. ... "
" ... Perfect for a beginner to learn quickly, I felt like an expert knife sharpener when I finished. ... "
" ... They cut like new, we have owned this set for over 20 years and now it’s like having a new set! ... "
" ... whether its a kitchen knife or anykind of knife this would work for you. ... "
" ... The angle guide is a bonus for other kinds of knives, but since mine are made from razors I simply lay the blade flat on the stone- this gives me a plane surface between the spine and the blade. ... "
" ... Husband love this product for sharping our knife. ... We do jot have the best knifes on the market but when he is done useing this block my knife are sharp. ... "
" ... I had purchased a small "sharpener" at the local store and never really managed to have a decent cutting tool for my kitchen, so I thought I would do it for real, purchase a stone and learn how to sharpen free-hand. ... "
" ... Very good quality, got all of my dull knife's razor sharp and not too steep of a learning curve for a beginner, worth the money! ... "

" ... Really high quality stone and base material. ... Much better than older stone materials used by vintage manufacturing. ... "
" ... Great quality and I love the bamboo base with the no slip bottom. ... "
" ... I slightly gouged the soft side first time used it ... "
" ... I like the bamboo base and the rubber frame holds the stones firmly in the base. ... I haven't had these long enough to judge the durability but they seem like nice quality to me. ... "
" ... this product is well made and came securely packaged. ... "
" ... I appreciated the quality of the stone and the holder which made it easier to use. ... "
" ... The base makes it easy to use without scratching whatever you put it on and keeps it from sliding around and it comes with a decent guide to use if you aren't super comfortable sharpening free hand. ... "
" ... I also bought a piece of leather and polishing compound to strop them. ... "

" ... seeing is definitely much easier to put into practice. ... "
" ... Very well made, and the guide makes setting the right angle a breeze. ... "
" ... I appreciate that, and the guide they give us to learn the use of the product is simple, clear, and practical. ... "
" ... Very good packaging and detail instruction on how to use and maintain. ... "
" ... The whole setup is attractive. ... "
" ... The good news is that you can experiment -- it's quite easy to check whether your stone is actually perfectly flat -- just take any other perfectly straight surface (edge of a piece of paper, ruler, level, any type of construction square, etc), crouch down so your eyes are even with the level of the stone, and move the straight edge across the surface, looking for any gaps. ...

" ... The non slip base does a perfect job of holding the stone in place on my countertop. ... "
" ... The non-slip bamboo base held fast and didn't budge during sharpening! ... "
" ... With the plastic guide that slips over the blade it was very easy to get that perfect angle. ... "
" ... The stone fits like a glove in the wooden holder and does NOT slip when in use. ... "
" ... I used a plastic take out container that seemed to fit the stone perfectly for soaking. ... "
" ... The dual sided design takes up less space than having 2 stones out and the Bamboo base has a nice rubberized grip on the bottom to help keep it from sliding around. ... "
