Best $25 I've spent haha!!
Alright so let me preface this by saying our knives are a few years old. I should've gotten this LONG AGO. I could barely cut the tape (nice packaging btw) on the bubble wrap to unpackage this with my dull kitchen knives!!I ordered it yesterday and it already arrived today!! It's super high quality, I am impressed with it. I followed the instructional video from their site, there's a card that came in the box with a link to online instructions. Before I finished sharpening all of my kitchen knives, I did a test with one that was still dull and one I freshly sharpened. It slices significantly better after being sharpened (obviously), but I was honestly shocked to see how dull my knives really have become. These knives were apparently supposed to stay sharp "forever"...The knives now cut through anything effortlessly. I've even sliced up the cardboard box this came in just because I was so amused at how sharp the blades are now.The hands down best part about this, is that under normal circumstances my wife would've eventually just shown up to the house with another $300 set of knives, and discarded these others because they were "dull". So not only did I beat the system NOW by spending $25 and saving myself $300 in doing so, but since this block seems like it's going to last forever, future generations of my offspring will save themselves money as well haha.

No longer the dullest tool in the shed.
I never quite noticed how dull our kitchen knives really were until I used this item. before using them they would barley slice through the edge of a piece of paper cleanly. Now they are razor sharp and saved me money on a new set of knives!The item came neatly packaged. The base is made of wood and has a non-slip material on the bottom. Between the wood and the stone is a rubber gasket to keep the stone in place. These two items are nice touches as the first step of the process is to wet the stone. Something I would have known the first time I used it had I actually bothered to read the instructions. I usually only do so AFTER messing with things on my own. Anyway after going to the website and reading the instructions and watching the video I went through and completed sharpening the rest of my knives. The video is a nice touch for those who don't like to read. The included guide is great for those who want to use it or in case you have a double edged knife. Overall I am highly satisfied with my purchase!

It is scary how fast this makes a knife sharp!
I would recommend this to any one who wants to sharpen their knives. I have a bunch of knives for work and they get dull pretty quickly. I used to sharpen with a bench grinder, but they did more harm then good. Within a couple minutes I was able to get my knives sharp. The first one I did I was pretty amazed by how good it was going and I was only doing the corset stone. I then switched over to the finer stone and to be honest I don't ever remember these knifes being that sharp, even new. I have another one on order for my work truck so when ever my blades get dull a few moments later I got a sharp blade..

I went and played some basketball to remind myself that I am not so boring that this is what I get excited about
I ordered this sharpener based off of a friends recommendation, and I was blown away. I immediately pulled it out of the package, and moments later I was sharpening my neglected set of knives. I was so impressed with how sharp the edge was, I tried it on some older knives I had tossed in a drawer. Those also came out as sharp as the day I purchased them. After that, I went and played some basketball to remind myself that I am not so boring that this is what I get excited about, but then I found myself wondering if I could put an edge on my ball, so back home I went.I highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to extend the life of their kitchen knives. Six out of five stars!

WARNING, You will be able to accidentally cut yourself easier with sharp knives. Extremely Sharp results
I always thought I kept my knives sharp with the sharpeners I had...I was wrong. I didnt realize how dull they were until I sharpened them with this stone. I bought this product on the recommendation of a friend. It took a couple tries to get the right angle and once I found it, it worked amazingly. Like other buyers have stated, I too sharpened all the knives in my house. I found myself reaching and using knives that I hadn't used in years because they are now as sharp or sharper then we I purchased them. I see my self having to haul this around to sharpen my parents and in-laws knives.The product is a very good looking package. The bamboo stand is very good looking and fits right in to our kitchen. This being a "wet" stone, you have to get it wet to use, bamboo it the perfect fit for this since it is not damaged by the water like other woods would be. The rubber bottom grips the countertop so you can sharpen with two hands on the blade for better control. I've used sharpeners in the past that requires one hand to hold the sharpener which was always harder for me. I highly recommend this product.

Top notch
This sharening stone is great. We've already used it a few times. The sharpening stone itself is of great quality. The bamboo base is a nice feature, very classy look. I appreciated the easy to follow usage instructions on the box. And the stone is double sided, so you get more bang for your buck. I can't wait to sharpen my knives before Thanksgiving!

Solid, great value
Better than expected! For the price I was not expecting a solid real wood base that that grips just about any surface. This along with the weight of the stone ensures it stays firmly planted with no chance of moving. It already paid for itself as I had old knives I was going to toss out but they are as good as new now.

Very nice, attractive
Very nice, attractive, high quality product. Wood base with rubber non-skid bottom is awesome. So is the rubber holder for the actual whetstone. I was ready to throw out our 10+ year old Henkel knives and buy new but instead I tried this Proud Lamb whetstone. Worked like a champ. I tried the before & after tomato slicing and I literally crushed the tomato with the old dull blade but with the newly-sharpened blade it was like going through warm butter. Sharpened every knife in the house, including the flat tanto blade on my Benchmade. Highly recommend this product.
