Silverline Blade Sharpening Stone Oval 225mm 150 Grit (993062)

For the price, this is a nice sharpener amd very easy to use. It's carborundum so you might not get a razor edged blade, but for quick and dirty sharpening. It's great for garden tools, etc but I also use it to put an edge on kitchen knives, especially if they're not of great quality, but can still cut well if reasonably sharp. Nice product for the money.

it will do for sharping ,but in two pieces after fall from letter box

Good item

This is a real value-for-money tool, but it was a little disappointing to receive it in a broken condition. It is perfectly useable like this, so I am not requesting a replacement. This is to be used to sharpen gardening tools - weed whacker, sickle, secateurs etc. and will still do the job adequately.

I purchased a knife sharpener that didn’t get my knifes as sharpe as I would have liked. Saw the sharpening oval ( for gardening tools ) and decided to give it a try. Very happy now all of my knife are now very sharp. Make slicing, dicing and filleting really easy. For £2.38 well worth it. Even my dullest knife only took a few minutes to develop a nice clean sharp edge. Use the same way you would use a knife steel on most knifes. On knifes that are very blunt use firstly like a file then back to like a steel. Would definitely recommend to anyone who appreciate a sharp kind in the kitchen

Given the budget price I wasn’t sure how good this was going to be. But it turned out to be a real win. Cost effective and sharpens my garden tools really well.

It's a quid, delivered next day (OK I have prime) and it's brilliant. It wasn't broken when arrived and it sharpens my axes lovely. Did I mention it's a sharpening stone for a quid, delivered ? The only thing of note is that it's quite coarse. That suits me because I already have a fine stone. It's fine for sharpening an axe or lawnmower blade or something. It won't sharpen things to the level where you can cut the hairs on your arm due to it's coarseness but to do that takes much more than a good stone - it's a skill only probably 1000 people have in the whole of the UK.... I had been down on Silverline products but I have had several things from them lately for example some very large diameter masonry coring bits and all have been truthfully very good. Well done Silverline. A good sharpening stone delivered for a quid.

Bought 2 considering I thought that they were cheep at £2.50. now I read reviews saying they only paid a £1 for them. Anyway they were both broken when they arrived. This is not good enough, I'm increasingly finding that I have to send more and more stuff back to Amazon. I can really do without this hassle, yet they insist on pushing all this low quality stuff from The far east.
