SHAN ZU Whetstone Knife Sharpening Stone Knife Sharpeners with Angle Guide Flattening Stone Non-Slip Bamboo Base 2 Side Grit 3000/8000 Waterstone

The presentation of the box made me think it had come straight from Japan which was really nice. The wooden base has a high quality finish. Stone itself works well, the knife angle holder is not great as it doesn't really work on anything other than a chef knife. The stone smoother is very coarse and smaller than I thought but I guess you could still use it. Overall, a nice starter, you just buy new stones and use the same base after this.

Works very well, all knives are sharp again :-) The angle guide is also very helpful in the beginning as I can’t say I am a professional in knife sharpening but with some good will and some YouTube videos not that hard to do.

I've got some nice kitchen knives at home and I with them I got a sharpener and whilst this has been great it's set at a particular angle (it's a pull through one) and not suitable for all blade types. I've recently bought a couple of multitool knives and one in particular came quite blunt. I've also got some blunt knives in the kitchen which I've stopped using because I've not wanted to put them through the sharpener provided with the expensive knifes. I've seen a number of pull through sharpeners which I've thought about buying but my dad's always sworn by a whetstone and whilst I'd never used one, you can't argue with traditions which have lastedfor such a long time. When this arrived I soaked it in water as per the instructions and watched a few videos on youtube whilst I was waiting before setting to work with my first knife. It's difficult to judge an exact angle but as long as your consistent with it, I don't think it matters too much if your slightly out (within reason). The stone works brilliantly and the knife and a couple I've done afterwards are much sharper. With practice I'm sure I'm going to become much better. The stone, being double sided is great as it saves needing 2 seperate ones which saves space. The stone fits really nicely into the wooden base and is held solidly in place by the rubber between them. There is also rubber under the base which keeps it from slipping around on the table. I'm glad I bought this whetstone over some of the cheaper pull through ones.

Good stone, does the job, didn’t find the 6000 side of much use as too fine to have much effect.

Bought for my son’s penknife. So far he’s sharpened all my kitchen knives twice and his grandad’s tools, plus his own. Great piece of kit and gave the wow factor as a stocking filler gift for a 15 year old who is autistic and only likes what he likes.

Used to sharpen my new knife, worked a treat. Never used one before, watched a few YouTube videos and I was up to speed. All I would say is thoroughly dry out the wooden block after use, I did mine on radiator, as otherwise it will go mouldy.

No issue with the stone itself, but if you've never used one before, be aware that it takes a huge amount of time and patience to learn how to use it and you need a fair bit of time to do one knife. It's also not very practical as you have to prepare the stone in advance and use it on a surface that can handle a lot of water being poured on it. This is not the tool for a quick sharpen 2 minutes before you need to carve your Sunday roast!

After using for just 5 minutes, I had my old ready for the bin knives razor sharp again. Amazing, also the angle guide that comes with it meant my knife was sharpened at the perfect angle with ease ... I also must mention how quick my item was delivered, very rapid . I'd highly recomend this product for ease of use and also it's a very nice looking stone too .

Le kit se compose: - D'une pierre à eau avec 2 grain différent 400/1000 pour celui ci. - Une pierre pour redresser la pierre à eau. - Un guide pour l'angle d'affutage. - Un socle en bambou et un support en plastique pour maintenir la pierre. Et un petite notice en anglais simple a comprendre. Aussitôt reçus j'ai utilisé ces pierres à eau pour aiguiser 3 couteaux de mes couteaux. Je précise que ce sont mes premières pierres et que je ne maitrise pas parfaitement la technique d'aiguisage Premier couteau : Un Edc acheté très récemment qui coupait déjà bien, j'ai utilisé seulement la pierre 8000 pour obtenir un tranchant vraiment rasoir. Résultat: une légère impression de mieux sur le test du papier mais pas de lame polie miroir. Deuxième: couteau un vieux edc bas de gamme que j'ai depuis longtemps mais qui qui n'a jamais bien coupé. J'ai utilisé cette fois les 4 pierres et les pierre 400/1000 ont été redoutable pour retrouver un tranchant plus que correct. Dernier couteau ( voir photo) que j'avais trouvé dans la colline avec une lame complétement abimée, j'ai réussi à retrouver un tranchant très correct avec le test du papier bien réussi alors que c'est un couteau de chasse plutôt que de cuisine. D'après mon ressenti ses pierres (400/1000) sont de bonnes qualités avec un bon feeling pendant l'aiguisage, elles sont moyennement facile a prendre en main mais les résultats sont plutôt satisfaisants surtout sur des lames abimées. On retrouve un bon tranchant mais pas un tranchant rasoir. Cependant en améliorant ma technique le résultat ne sera certainement que meilleur. Pour le guide lame malheureusement il n'est pas adapté pour les petits couteaux, mais plutôt efficace sur les gros couteaux de cuisine.

işe yarıyor,

Pierre acheter pour aiguisé quelque couteau ne coupant plus ,elle a fait se que l'on attend d'elle : aiguisé le résultat correct ; seul bémol la notice n'est pas traduite en français.

Hallo. Das ist ein ganz toller Abziehstein. Richtig groß mit Platz für ordentliche Messer. Selnst ein Anfänger hört wenn der Stahl anfängt scharf zu werden. Werde mir jetzt noch ein Leder-Riemen zum Polieren bestellen.

Prodotto arrivato perfettamente imballato. Bel design, base in legno e materiale per affilare sembrando buona qualità.Non ancora utilizzato, ma è molto ruvido, quindi i coltelli non dovrebbero scivolare sopra. Sicuramente molta cura dei particolari..e nell'abbinamento dei colori.
