Norton IM313 Knife Sharpener Oil Stone Sharpening Stone Kit with Coarse/Medium Crystolon and Fine India Stones, Sharpening Stone Oil and Knife Angle Guide

Today it’s great to find something that works and has fantastic quality.Easy to keep things sharp with us set of stones

Manual sharpening is the only good way to maintain professional quality knives and this is the very best setup to do it on. Ever since I moved on from cutting meat for a living I have wanted to get one of these for myself. It is not that hard to learn to use it properly and once you do you will never pick up a dull or even semi-sharp knife again. I had been trying to get by with the little 6" to 8" stones and every other gadget to sharpen my aging knives. They were all so unsatisfactory that when I finally bought a new set of Victorinox knives I immediately ordered this to maintain them. If an average person (not a butcher) bought a set of really good knives and learned to maintain them on this Oilstone they would likely last you your whole life.

Ok, so you might be debating on the price as I was, but think of it as a lifetime investment because that's what it is...it will be the last knife sharpener you'll ever buy. Electric sharpeners eat knives up and don't hold a candle to this product. I own a restaurant and there is absolutely nothing worse than working with a dull knife. It makes doing your task a nightmare. So, with all that being said there is a small learning curve with it but not much, just get on YouTube to get the fundamentals down. Eventually you will begin to to sharpen your knife by "feel" in no time. I can't begin to tell you that with some practice your knives will be hair splitting sharp! A bit of advice is NOT to use the course stone unless you've got a very dull knife. The medium course stone followed by the fine grit can bring life back into your knife. If you really wanna get it to the next level you can strop it using leather after those two steps, but it's def not necessary. This product may be overkill for someone who cooks occasional, but for anyone who uses knives daily it's a solid investment and I can't praise the craftsmanship enough.

Great product. even better service. Couldn't be happier. Extreme value with the ability to sharpen our knifes. Thank you.

This tri stone works awesome. Large, broad stones make short work of any size knife. However simple, it’s really up to the user to do it properly to achive professional results. I only gave it 3 stars for value because it was very expensive to only have a plastic housing. Stones seem like good quality tho.

I used one of these for years to sharpen my pocket at work and really liked it. Well built product, ease of use , broad stone bases for sharpening most size knife blades. I retired and wanted one for home use. The only draw back in my opinion is the one I ordered that I thought was identical to the one at work is it does not allow me to change stone sides without lifting the whole stone set out of the reservoir. The one at work did by only pressing a clip and lifting that end and spinning it to the next stone which was simpler. I wish mine came with that ability. Picture on Amazon really didn’t show that as a non option for that unit, or disclose anything about. For the price it should have that built into it. Other than that it’s great.

Only improvement would be to get a strop included but even considering that its a good investment if you like sharp edges on your kitchen tools.

I used to work as a meat cutter and we had one of these to sharpen our knives with. After I left that business, I was having a hard time finding another stone set that I liked. When I saw this online I got extremely excited and just knew I had to get it for myself. I can't tell you how much I enjoy bringing a knife to a sharp edge with this thing. It is a meditative activity for me and this makes it so easy and cuts down on mess because any excess oil just goes into the reservoir. I can't recommend this product enough. If you think you will do a decent amount of sharpening or have a knife collection that you want to bring to a razors edge, this is what I would recommend you do it with!
