better than anticipated

So far So good. I have used it to sharpen a few knives. The setup of the sharpener is relatively easy. Adjusting the angle takes a bit of time but is not too hard. I worked through the process by reviewing a few of the online videos that were posted. Then took 2 knives that needed care and started on them. I used the permanent marker on the edge approach to set the angle and it worked well. Was able to use it on a pocket knife with a bit of adjusting to get the full edge exposed without hitting the clamping edges. Before using the stones mark the back and sides with the grit. Others recommended it and I agree since the grit is stamped on the working face of the stones. I look forward to getting all of the knives around the house sharpened. No more taking the kitchen carving knives out to be sharpened.

This sharpener is an easy way to have extremely sharp knives ready to use. It's great for carving, paring and cleaver types. Takes a few times to get real comfortable using but it does get easy, fast. I only wish the stones were a little longer. One draw back is I haven't found a way to sharpen thin blades like fillet or garnish blades. Overall, excellent choice.

All I can say is for this price, what a great sharpener.... I've tried sharpening with little handheld camping style sharpeners, and they never worked. This one works immediately, once you figure out the right angle to use. Very surprised, and happy!

This is no top end sharpening set, but with a little patience and even less skill, you can get your knives and blades sharp enough to shave. Very impressed with the value - should last me several years

Does an amazing job sharpening knives, does take a little while to get use to but once you put in the effort, watch your fingers and make sure anyone that uses your knives is well aware of how sharp they are. I never had or used knives as sharp as this sharpener gets them. Used an engraver to write the stone grit on the backside of the stone so i know what is what. Wish it came stamped on the back instead of on the stone that gets worn down and makes the grit # disappear over time.

Hey, Just bought this kit and got four kitchen knives sharpened. All went smoothly, no issues with the tool. Bevel is consistent and knives are sharp - paper cut test was passed. Instruction is good and useful. Here are several working tips I figured during the first use. 1. You will need a good box with compartments for stones - storing all metal parts together with brittle stones in a cloth pouch - is not a good idea. 2. Put a drop of viscous oil into the swivel and on to the part of the rod that reciprocates in the swivel - after the second knife I realized that these joints started causing friction and obstruct the moving parts. One drop of oil solved the issue. 3. Wet the stones with a brush during sharpening - stones dry fast. 4. Grit marking on stones has almost gone when I done with the fourth knife - it is obvious. So, before marking is gone, engrave or scratch the grit number on the plastic back of the stone - no guess-work in the future. See photos.

I think you get a lot for your money, so would recommend to anyone needing a good set of honing stones. The angle fixtures and strap are pretty difficult to use so I tossed them and just use the stones.

Quality set. Works quite well. Used the flattening stone on an older stone and it worked great. I highly reccomend

Overall I like it. Sharpened my Gerber knife that I could never get a good edge. Doesn't work on small items like tiny scissors or pocket knives. Yes I would recommend. Yes I'd buy it again.
