Review: It's an artform - Knife sharpening on any whetstone requires more skills than basic marketing will lead you to believe. It requires patience and diligence. If you give it time and effort, it will bear fruit. In this case, a nicely sharpened blade. Whetstones have a very high skill ceiling and will not be rewarding to those who are unwilling to put in the time. It works well if you know how to use whetstones, however, it will not be the easiest to use. I am a beginner and after a couple hours of practice, I was able to place a nice edge on some kitchen knives. It is quite messy when it comes to the red, 1000 grit, side(don't wipe off the stone). It leaves a watery clay like substance that can get everywhere. I would not recommend working on a surface you don't want stains on because the 6000 grit side will shave tiny particles of the metal off and possibly stain your working station and hands(also don't wipe the metal particles off the stone. It's a beginner's mistake). Clean up is pretty easy. All I do is use enough water to rub off the particles off the stone. I just use my fingers to slightly brush off the particles off the stones. I don't want to break up the stones by using coarse sponges or paper towels (do not use paper towels to clean the stones at all. It will leave tiny pieces of paper towel that will hinder your ability to make smooth strokes across the stones. It makes the stone bumpy). Then I just leave em out to air dry. Pretty simple. Using whetstones are an artform and not just something you can dive into with ease. There are a lot of things to understand and implement into sharpening knives using whetstones. The angle of the blade as you sharpen, the path of the blade as it rides the surface of the stone, the pressure you apply to the blade, and the amount of strokes back and forth to get the edge that you want. Also, it's a whetstone, so it's important that the stones are kept wet. Soaking the stone in water is an essential part of the process as well as keeping the surface constantly watered and not doing so will result in suboptimal edges. I would not recommend this for someone who wants an general sharpener for daily kitchen use. This will take too much of your time. However, I think it's a great product for people who are getting into whetstones and what it has to offer. The price is great and the stones are nice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you soak one or both sides of the stone?**
A: I can't definitely say that soaking damages the 6000 side, but my 6000 side is starting to disintegrate after less than a dozen uses, and I've been soaking the whole stone (including the 6000) side.

**Q: What holds the stone to the base while sharpening so the stone doesnt move?**
A: Basically the water creates suction with the water in the base and holds the stone. Along with the ridge on the base you wont be losing the stone any time soon. Even if you didn't have the base the friction from the stone on most surfaces will keep it stationary.

**Q: Is this also made to sharpen ceramic knives made from zirconium oxide?**
A: Really, I would use diamond stones - they aren't that expensive and are much harder than zirconium oxide.  A ceramic knife is a knife designed with a ceramic blade typically made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO2; also known as zirconia).  These knife blades are usually produced through the dry-pressing and firing of powdered zirconia using solid-state sintering.  It is 8.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, compared to 4.5 for normal steel and 7.5 to 8 for hardened steel and 10 for diamond.   Aluminum oxide grit stones (like this) are 9 on the Mohs scale (not much harder).  Silicon carbide stones are 9-10 and would hold up better.  Diamond is best, but you need a quite fine grit to sharpen the edge to a cutting edge.

**Q: what material is the stone made from?**
A: The stone is man-made and is made mostly of ceramic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great affordable stone
*by M***W on December 29, 2025*

Very sturdy and effective sanding stone

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good and easy to use, sharpen your tools in mins.
*by S***0 on September 24, 2025*

Super nice whetstone for sharpening tools and knives. I bought this because it was made in Japan...which is great cuz all my leather tools are the same. I use this to sharpen my skiving knife and some kitchen knives. As instructed, soak in water first then use. Once it's wet, it won't move around when you put it on the stand. Mine came from Amazon and no damage at all...and I have been using this for about 1 and 1/2 years.....before writing this review. I spend about 2-3 mins sharpening my skiving knife and can use it for weeks, daily use.....because I am lazy and do wait until it's pretty dull to sharpen again. After a few mins, knife is crazy sharp and cuts through thick leather like butter.
