KEENBEST Actual Grit Premium Material Whetstone Set 2 Side Grit 400 1000 3000 8000 Sharpening Stone Professional Kitchen Knife Sharpener Stone Kit Wet Stones Bamboo Base Angle Guide Red

The durability and quality of these whet stones are just what I was looking for to sharpen my Japanese knives. The slip resistant base made sharpening my knives a very simple process. The instructions were very helpful and the softness of the grade of stone made my knives incredibly sharp.

In a Nutshell - We had a collection of dull knives - First time using a whetstone - All items in this kit were useful to sharpen my knives - Get a honing rod to finish it - The angle aid will scratch your knives. What you need to know - It took 3 tries to learn how to use the whetstone. First 2, my test knife was worse than when I first started. If it’s not getting sharper, it may be you. - The angle aid is useful, but it’s a fixed angle and some knives require sharpening at a different angle . Also, it will scratch your knives - I watched like 4 different YouTube videos on sharpening using a whetstone. Best one was from some Cooks Edge. I’m not promoting, but I feel he was the only the explained all the whole “getting the burr” thing the best. - I was able to sharpen with great success 7/8 different knives with the stones. I used the 8000 grit only on my Japanese shun knife. I didn’t go higher than 3000 on the rest. - The 1 knife (1st from left) that I cannot consider a success is sharper, but it was so hard to get the burr and even after I did it, it definitely doesn’t compare to the rest. I think it’s the knife, not me lol. - Last, if it’s your first time, like me, it will take you about 45-60 minutes to sharpen one, call it not being sure if I have a burr, but after that I was able to do my other knives in 20 min.

Nice kit with complete set of stones to sharpen everything . If your blade is badly chipped you will need someth8ng with a courser grit to get it to a place where it will sharpen the whole blade .

This worked very well for all of our straight-blade knives. I have all types of knives. It came with instructions which I appreciate, but I only use the angle guide on some of the knives I have, not all knives. Though it's easy to clean, I put mine in a high cabinet after not fully drying the blocks, and some mold started growing on the block. I'll peg this on my not drying the blocks fully and placing them on a high, warm cabinet in an enclosed space. After drying them fully again, they have not developed any mold. My knives are all sharp and cut very easily now. Thanks!

Very nice product and a very good price

Did wonders for my knives!!

The packaging indicates that a user guide is included, although there was nothing of the sort in mine so I did a little digging and found an e-book version of it on their website, available only to customers who’ve already purchased the whetstone set, for $20. So i’m not sure if my case was a fluke or if it’s a sickening bait and switch to get $20 more out of inexperienced customers. There were no instructions included at all sand the company does not have a Contact Us page on their website so I’d avoid this unless you already have a solid understanding of how to sharpen knives using whetstones.

Very good! Simple to use and all you need to add is water.

Great product for a beginner. Not too expensive like the expert stones. Not bad for the price. Great to practice your sharpening skills
