Knifewear 1,000 Grit Sharpening Stone

Bought this stone for my girlfriend. She has always wanted me to bring mine over but now this one is at her place and it works even better than mine. It's a really nice and wide stone. The 1000 grit is the bread and butter of sharpening and really gets the job done for putting an edge on any knife. She had several knives that were all blunt as a bat and now they work wonderfully. To buy a nice knife is sort of pointless unless you take care of it, buy a good stone and it will make a world of a difference. This one is splendid.

The stone feels great, gives you good feedback while sharpening, is true to grit and is priced competitively. Note that it requires half an hour of soaking and is softer (and thus dishes more quickly) than e.g. a Naniwa Chosera/Professional. I think it‘s an excellent stone, especially considering the price.

A good starter stone. Works as it should. Would buy again

Great class, good advice, and fantastic instructors took the time explain the different stones and how to use them.
