Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Japanese Professional Knife Sharpening Stone Sharpener
Customer Review: Sharpen away!
Summary: 5 Stars
This whetstone is great for typical knife sharpening maintenance.
It can be used in about 5 - 10 minutes after being soaked in water. However, it takes about a full day to dry completely.
For dull knives:
One side of the stone is 240 grit, which can be used for aggressive sharpening. The other side is 1000 grit, which can be used after the 240 grit sharpening to perform light sharpening. You can then hone the knife on your steel sharpening rod.
For typical knife sharpening maintenance, you can just use the 1000 grit side, followed by some honing on your steel rod.
Note that this stone will not fix damaged knife blades.
Customer Review: A great tool for every kitchen
Summary: 4 Stars
After neglecting our kitchen knives for too long, I bought this sharpening stone to try to reclaim them from their terrible state. So far so good. It has really helped.
However, the absence of instructions in English do make it somewhat challenging since I really don't know what I'm doing.
Also I learned the hard way that rubber gloves are a good idea. As I sharpened my knives small pieces of metal imbedded into my fingers. Not too bad, but a lesson learned.

Summary: 5 Stars
this sharpener works perfectly for my knife collection, is easy and safe to use.
the stone is softer than other sharpening stones, so avoid shearing the edges of the stone. a friend who is a furniture maker uses this stone for tools to carve wood and swears by it.
Customer Review: Nice setup.
Summary: 5 Stars
The double stones and the wood block work nicely together. Great for the avid knife person. Great way to keep all of your knives sharp.
