Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone Knife Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 3000/8000 Wetstone Kit -Wetstone Kitchen Knife Sharpener with Non-Slip Bamboo Base & Flattening Stone

Excellent product and company. I notified them that I received the sharpening rock but the flattening rock was missing. They asked for a picture of the packaging and a replacement was received in two days. The rock works like it is supposed to and I am very satisfied.

All I could say is wow my knives are as sharp as when I get them professionally done

Good as expected but there are a small crack in the middle of the stone but it’s not really broken then I don’t want to waste my time to return.

Wow. What a difference in my knives. I am sure that this will even get better, the more I use it. Great experience so far.

Can achieve a really sharp edge with these stones. These were my first stones that I really learned to sharpen on. As long as you're only trying to sharpen and not repair or regrind an edge, these will do the job. 400 to 1000 alone is enough to get a razor edge. Would definitely recommend to anyone that doesn't sharpen often.There are a couple of things I need to mention though:1. I found out that leaving them submerged in water all the time causes the stones to degrade. The stones develop a film that floats om the water and embeds into the surface of the stones. Also rust spots will tend to form if the stones are not completely cleared of all the metal removed from the knives. Not being able to leave them submerged is a hassle for me if I want to use them everyday. I have to make sure to soak them 30 mins everyday before I open to ensure they are saturated.2. The stones become closer to 400 grit the more you use the leveling stone (I use it as a dressing stone. 400 grit is not coarse enough to level a stone). After flattening its best to use another grit thats close to the one of the stone. Eg after flattening the 3000 I would recommend using 3000 grit to dress the stone. Can be done with another 3000 grit stone, sandpaper, or abrasive powder.Haven't used them with high carbon knives but im sure it wouldnt be a problem. If these were splash and go stones, I would never buy another stone for work again. Going to replace these for nagura splash and go stones.

excellent

3k and 6k grit stones provide a very sharp, polished knife edge. Really good stones. Base holds stones and improves safety.

I can’t believe this is for beginners, which is me. I also can’t believe I spent so much money for a sharpening stone that is missing an essential ingredient for beginners—who would know that an angle blade holder even existed? The instructions are certainly minimal. I was trying to sharpen a knife by pulling *backwards* with the knife; had no idea you are supposed to push *forwards.* Also it wasn’t until searching for what 15-20 degrees looks like that I discovered that there are items that will actually guide you to get started on the proper degree angle, which of course is not included in the package. Now I must purchase a gizmo making the stone even more expensive. While the instructions do say to soak the stone before using, it was only after finding a Y-T video that I discovered to wet the stone again when turning it over.On the bright side the stone and bamboo base are quite heavy duty and should last for a long time.I wish I knew what grade stone should be used for kitchen knives: 3000/8000 or 1000/6000. I also wish I had looked a little deeper before buying is all.
