This is a product of the highest quality. It is compact but heavy, as it should be. The whetstone is contained in a strong plastic case and contains a magnetized orange triangle that bonds to either end of the stone. You begin with the coarse side of the stone, chose one of the four angles - each of which is recommended for a particular purpose - and just follow the instructions by placing the knife to be sharpened against the triangle and then pushing it away from you along the stone and then turning the stone around and pulling it toward you, both for the same number of number of passes. You then choose the fine side of the stone and repeat the process.In 90 seconds your knife is as sharp enough to slice a piece of paper with, as if it were a razor, and a child of twelve can also do it!Highly recommended! You can now give away the other sharpeners that you have accumulated through the years to friends or to the recycle shop. You will want to keep only this one for the rest of your life!

This tool is just great. It sharpened my kitchen knives in no time, and with excellent apex and sharpness. And it does so 10 times faster than any wet stone I used. Like all stones you need a steady hand and some experience how to anngle and push the knives over the surface for good results. If you master this your knives are amazing. Just by picking it up you can feel real quality. The plate is very heavy and perfectly plane. This weight and the rubber under the case makes it very stable. The 325 and 1200 grit seems far apart, but the combination works very well. For most knives I did not even need a strop to remove the burr. Just carefull alternate passes.I saw it on Outdoor55’s YouTube channel, and he is correct in his review. I’m sold on it too :-)

Perfect grids, verry clean and effective. Got the skill for free hand scharpening this is a great high quality diamond stone.

I bought it to maintain my kitchen knifes. I just received it and tried it immediately. 1 word: great. The dude from OUTDOOR55 has it 200% right. This and a stroop and it covers the needs of 98% of us (the last 2% are making a job out of it or just spend more time sharpening than actually cooking). For me the fact that it doesn’t need to be flattened is the sweet value point. This stone is large and very comfortable to work with long knifes. All the money worth.

Was searching for a stainless steel diamond sharpener. This one is great for sharpening different tools.

Nice diamontstone. Feels smooth and neat. Comes with a quality and usefull case. I prefer it over some american-made brand

If you're looking for a good quality large size diamond stone this one is one you should consider.It's straight, decent in size, the grits make sense and the box is actually useful.The combination plate is straight and very heavy. As you start using it it is very abrasive, but with some use the abrasive settles. I don't think this stone will wear out quickly, but I don't own it long enough to make such a conclusions. The wear in process is comparable to DMT stones so far.There's no noticable grit contamination wich is rare in Chinese combination diamond plates.

Het goede is.. de slijpsteen heeft geen uitstekende diamanten puntjes er in.Prijs kwaliteit is goed.

First thing I want to say in this update is that their customer service is absolutely fantastic. They reached out to me and offered me a replacement Stone no questions asked and I'm very proud to say that my Replacements don't is absolutely perfect not a single flaw on it anywhere it's totally flat the diamond is well bedded and the stone Cuts beautifully and extremely consistent. I greatly appreciate when a company takes care of their customers Amazon of course has fantastic customer service and I'm glad to say that Sharpal also takes very good care of their customers. They was easy to work with I didn't have to reach out to them they reached out to me and they made me a happy customer. Judging by how beautiful the second stone is I have no doubt that it was an anomaly and what I got the first time and is not going to happen very often and if it does happen you can be assured that they will take care of you and that's what matters. I have already sharpened three knives on the stone all three come here whittling off the 1200 and the stone feels absolutely beautiful it cuts very quickly the 325 side is very aggressive remove steel very very fast even steals like k390 and s110v and the 1200 leaves a beautiful scratch pattern with a lot of aggression but yet still here whittling keenness. I am absolutely stoked to have this Stone I know it's going to last a good long time because the diamond bedding is done very well and what is the most impressive to me out of this considering I'm very into sharpening is just how consistently the diamond is sized in fact I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there is not a diamond plate made that has more consistent Diamond sizing than this plate and that is really impressive considering the price. I have electroplated CBN plates that are $200 for one Grit that don't have as consistent sizing as abrasive as the stone does at $70 and includes two grits that's impressive I have risen bonded Diamond Stones that don't have his consistent of diamond sizing as this plate does and that's really saying something these Stones absolutely blow DMT out the water no comparison in consistency and quality. DMT used to make truly incredible quality diamond plates 10 plus years ago but their quality has fallen off greatly over the past 5 to 7 years however I would compare this plate in quality to that of DMT from 10 years ago so that means you are going to get a fantastic quality plate that's going to last you a long time and perform very good for you. These plates are extremely flat the diamond sizing is extremely consistent and the diamond coverage is also extremely consistent and that's what we're looking for in Diamond plates so if you're a sharpener that needs a diamond plate and you want a very high quality piece that also has good customer service attached to it I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this brand. The only thing that I think that they need to do and I hope they do is create a lower grip plate to go along with this plate something like a two-sided 150 and 600 would be a perfect compliment to this plate and I would also see them make a two-sided extremely coarse plate for serious steel removal something like an 80 grit on one side and 180 grit on the other side that would also be very welcomed but that would only be really needed for people like myself who are professional sharpeners and need to remove steel quickly to be able to make reasonable money per hour. I would say that the 150,600 would be a better option for them to make for the general sharpener. The 325 does cut very fast but if you're doing heavy reprofiling it's not coarse enough it doesn't remove steel fast enough for heavy reprofiling and that is where something like a 150 and a 600 would be a perfect compliment to this 325 and 1200. This brand is going to do big things because they're making a truly high quality product and selling it at a very very fair price and most importantly the customer service is excellent and that's what truly matters. It would have been one thing if I would have reached out to them and complained and then they would have just made me a happy customer by giving me a stone that wouldn't say a whole lot about their customer service other than they're just trying to hush somebody but that's not what they did they reached out to me and wanted information on the stone that I got so they could increase their product quality and make sure that this doesn't happen again and on top of that all for me a stone and get it to me within 3 days to make sure that I had a stone that was in good condition and ready to be used without any flaws I didn't ask them for anything they come to me to make me a happy customer and I genuinely appreciate that because that's how companies should do their customers. We spend our money with these companies and most companies could care less about making you a truly happy customer however this company did exactly that they made me a truly happy customer and they most definitely earn my business from now on and I buy a lot of sharpening stones so I am happy to say that I will be a customer for a very long time and I will most definitely support their products. Excellent job Sharpal on awesome customer service and making an Excellent and high performance product!With all the buzz around these stone not having any grit contamination and being extremely flat well I must be unlucky as mine has a pea size high spot on the 325 side it's a big high spot in the electroplating dead in the center of the plate. To say I'm bummed is an understatement. Sharpening on this would absolutely destroy an edge every time you hit that high spot I'm very not happy about it. 1200 side looks beautiful but the coarse side is wrecked. I was really looking forward to a high quality plate because DMT isn't doing the quality they used to so I wanted to buy a different brand that is claiming top quality but what I got was a huge QC over sight.

Sharpens really fast and the case provides a stable antislip base.

zeer tevreden over dit product. Heb al meerdere messen geslepen alsook een oude pizzasnijder.

I have used a fair few different stones for sharpening knives over the years, with very mixed results. Success was never guaranteed at all. I had practiced a lot, and could hold an angle well, but it just wasn't enough, since the stones themselves often just dished out and became useless after a short time. I often found that a lot of stones were just too soft, and it was very hard to gauge pressure to get a good grind.I knew diamond plates would be the best option, as they do not dish out (go concave) after regular use, but they were too expensive at the time. Then I saw this diamond sharpener that was double sided and half the price of a single plate from a well known company. So I bought it.The box is sturdy, and it holds the whetstone well. It doesn't slip around on the work-surface either. The stone itself is just a steel plate with electro-plated diamond powder on it. While 325 grit might sound quite smooth compared to the grits of other coarse stones, because it's diamond it cuts very quickly. You can then flip it over to the other side to 1200, and this might sound like a large jump compared to normal whetstones, but you can get away with it here as the diamond just grinds away the steel with ease.Keep in mind that on first use, it will cut coarse and a bit uneven. This will wear down after a bit of use as the surface evens out and any loose diamond falls off. Once it settles, it cuts very consistently, with light pressure.I have used this stone extensively for months, and it has not faltered at all, and has been the best sharpening investment I have made in a long time. It does come with a blade angle guide, but it's a bit impractical to use. I don't use it, since I've had a fair bit of experience with whetstones over the years, so I can hold an angle quite well.For maintenance and cleaning, the best thing you can get is a kneadable eraser, the grey putty stuff used by artists. It will cling to the metal swarf/dust and clean the stone very easily, without the need to wash it. Also, do not use water with this stone, it does not need it like regular whetstones.The 1200 grit side is good enough for a very sharp knife, but not enough for a razor, although you don't need a razor to cut veg. If you do want to bring your knife to a razor sharpness (as in, you can shave with it), you'll need a leather strop and some 1-micron diamond powder. Do not get the diamond paste that comes in those coloured tubes, they are terrible, with a very low concentration of diamond in them. Get the pure diamond powder instead. It costs a bit more, but it lasts ages as you only use a tiny amount (it will feel like fine clay powder). Just rub that powder dry into the leather, then strop away - you'll get a razor in no time.
