MITSUMOTO SAKARIJapanese Knife Sharpening Stones, Professional Kitchen 240/1000/6000 Coarse and Fine Precision Sharpener Whetstone, New 3-Sided Grit Knife Sharpener with ABS Non-Slip Base

Good stand and set up goes well with the diamond set I had got at the same time

Producto de excelente calidad.

A good whetstone is more important than a good knife, in my opinion, and a block this large should last you a lifetime. Even the cheapest knife can be sharpened to cut like an expensive knife (temporarily), and an expensive knife can be dulled to cut like a butter knife. A whetstone with 1000 grit like this is good for maintaining knives before they get too dull. The 3000 grit is good for a finish. If you haven't sharpened your knives in years and they are dull, you'll need something in the 400 grit range to get a good edge to start.This whetstone is nice, made in Japan, and comes in a nice package. Definitely better quality than some of the cheaper whetstones you can find. This set even comes with a flattening stone that helps your block stay level after repeated use. I have a shapton pro and I'd say it is comparable, though at the moment this one cost a bit more.

Very high quality. Packed beautifully. I'm not great at sharpening stones, so it's taking a bit for me to get used to, but it does the job well on our Japanese knife.

I’ve literally had this for 2 days and only used it once and the 6000# has fallen off, seems like over priced garbage to me..
