SHARP PEBBLEPremium Whetstone Knife Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 1000/6000 Waterstone- Whetstone Knife Sharpener- Nonslip Bamboo Base & Angle Guide

Ok, so I've been looking at getting one of these bad boys for months now. I wasn't scared of difficulty in using it, just wanted to make sure I got the correct one to start with.I've spent days (worth of hours) online checking reviews, YouTube videos and blogs, as there are lot of "beginner" options but also many videos saying "get this brand bro, worth investment" but honestly that one would have been more than my knives.I finally decided on Sharp Pebble for a few reasons.Price wise it's not a bad deal at all. I believe you should get a decent quality product, even if you have cheap knives.It comes with a little support in case you are new to this and don't know the angle you should be sharpening at.The Grit sides are possibly perfect for a beginner. After countless videos online I found 1000 to be the upper limit of "coarse" and 6000 to be a good middle options for sharpening. Unless your knives are completely blunt in which case you will need something like a 400, then a 1500-ish then a 6k, this is perfect for the occasional 2-3 week (even 4) sharpening.You can do a few quick slides on the 6k side every week on the most used knives (depending on usage) and once every 2-4 weeks give it a full run on both sides.Definitely recommend watching multiple videos from multiple channels on how to use these and sharpen your knives. Everyone has something slightly different to say/add that may be more relevant for your case, so absorb and use your head.Overall I'm incredibly happy with this product and will forever be the way I sharpen my knives.

This is the first stone I've bought and I'm very pleased with this product. The 1000 grit side sharpened all of my blunt knives, which is only possible when paired with good technique, and the other side polished well. However they got you covered as it comes with access to an ebook with easy to follow instructions on how to use the stone. Very professional and is perfect for anyone who is willing to put a little effort into reviving those blunt knives. Chopping and slicing has never been easier as you can let the knife do all the work.

Well packaged and in general a lovely stone. Came with a nice rubber footed wooden base to prevent it from sliding around along with the angle guide.I’ve never tried using a stone before and my first attempt wasn’t brilliant. I tried it on an old kitchen knife for about an hour but clearly wasn’t doing it right.In the box was a link to a guide on how to do it properly and once followed I produced some far better results. I’m now slowly getting better and better and knives a pretty sharp.My advice is follow the instructions even soaking the stone before use and ensure it is kept wet throughout. Take your time and don’t rush!!My only criticism is the angle guide which is robust enough for the job but it’s so tight that it actually scratched the metal blade sliding it on and off. I’ve now started to put some tape on the blade to protect it before hand.Sadly my stone developed a very slight crack on one side but after a quick email to the supplier a brand new stone was delivered a couple of days later free of charge.. No fuss or hassle! Well done for their customer service!Would definitely buy again.

Does a great job for intended purpose. The wooden base is made of bamboo which has been treated and sealed - very important when it's going to get wet. The base also has a full rubber grip surface. I put the kit next to my sink on the stainless steel drying area and it doesn't budge while sharpening even while everything is soaked with water. The guide that it comes with ensures a good and consisted angle is maintained. Everything does require a bit of practice but luckily this comes with a handy downloadable instruction manual so that you can check if you technique is correct. Overall excellent product that makes my cheap knives perform the same as knives that cost ten times the price.

Good stone. Sharpened a sabatier. Angle thing not very helpful, easier by hand. Minimum half a thumb if you have small, thin hands/fingers and your angle should be good.The base slipped 2 times. But my kitchen worktop isn't the most traction resistant so if you have marble or very polished surface I recommend you use that surface instead.First try didn't come out too evenly but with practice I could probably just sharpen a knife and shave with it instead of a Gilet. I spent 30 min and I'm very happy with the resulting sharpness. A ripe tomato test is passed so paper should be no problem.Getting a 400 with a 1000 grit stone as well because my Sabatier has some chipping I would like to remove

Really good stone with an holding base that does not slip even when wet.I've alerady sharpened many knives (from small to large, from thin to thick) and a small axe with superb results.The choice of the two grits is a good one that allows you to quickly sharpen a very dull knife and then give it a nice polished finish with the other side of the stone.On top of it Customer care from this seller is good so: Recommended.

Product is sturdy and definitely sharpens your knives. A lot of it comes down to technique which is hard to master without anyone giving you advice. I tried using the plastic clip to provide the right angle but not sure how well it works. I feel like I can do it better without it but hard to tell. I looked into other knife sharpening solutions and everyone recommended this product, other solutions can damage your knives

I’m still learning how to use this... it takes a bit of practice (and a YouTube video!) but even my first attempts have resulted in sharper knives. I’m sure I will get better. The product is great with the two sides and I’ve found it remains stable on a worktop but not on the draining board. It needs to be wet and sharpening knives makes a bit of mess but easily wiped up and the stone is easy to care for too.
