Danesoe Industry Whetstone Knife Sharpener - 2 Side grit 120/240 - Made from Silicon Carbide, The Hardest Material After Diamond, Combination Sharpening Stone Perfect for Both Knives and Tools

The reason this got 2 stars was because of the price. You can't beat this for a whetstone to throw in the toolbox or to keep around the workshop. Using it is straightforward, I use water with mine and it performs fine. The stone & case claim it was made in Germany, but there is a removable sticker that very prominently states Made in China. My biggest beef with this is that it came cracked, almost in half. I just didn't find it worth the effort to send it back for a new one. If you want a beater whetstone, this is the one. Otherwise save your money for a quality stone.

I use this stone, the coarse side, to level my edge pro stones. It works super well. I had a diamond edge pro stone that I was using to level my other stones with, but this is SO much easier and it cuts like a hot knife. Took me 10 minutes to level out 6 stones. Really made easy work of them.

For the money, this stone is worth it. There are only 2 things I didnt like about it. 1. Its not labeled on the stone which side is which and 2. My stone came chipped which makes it a little more complicated when sharpening bigger knives.

Product is advertised as 8 inches. This is only 6 inches. It's also not marked to say which side is which grit. Haven't used it yet, but I'm assuming it's functional so I'm giving 2 stars.

I searched for a long time before I found this stone. I love the box it arrived in - great place to keep your stone when not using it. Sharpens knives very efficiently! Very happy with this product.

Perfect! Fast! And happy to own. I sharpened a kitchen knife and was amazed by at how sharp it got. I've been doing a disservice to myself by not sharpening my knives. No excuse now that I own the tool to do it!

Excellent stone for everyday sharpening. Gave my dullest knives edges sharper than new. Worked on stainless and steel. My hunting, fishing and cooking blades are now sharper than new. Perfect for my needs.

The sodes aren't labeled. This is a huge oversight in my opinion. Quality is ok, although it seemed to wear down pretty quickly on a kitchen knife and a few times through with my hand plane blade.
