MIDO Professional Abrasive Kitchen Knife Sharpening Stone 400/1000 Grits Whetstone Sharpening Stone with Non-Slip Rubber Base for Kitchen, Hunting, and Pocket Knives or Blades

Had never used one before. But watched a few videos etc. keep old tea towels and a put of water at hand.Lay an old tea towel etc underneath.I gave it a try and very pleased I did.Ignore the very high number (extremely fine) sharpening stones, this is all you should hopefully need if like me you have only half decent knives.Eg the knife set cost under £200. Therefore this stone does the job perfectly well for the tools I use.Sharpened not only the knife set, but spent an hour sharpening a ‘plane’ door plane blade which had chipped.Spent ages and certainly had an arms work out (and used a tool -little clamp on wheels) to keep the angle correct but the thing sharpened all the way back to a perfect flat level blade and was able to plane the door without spending another £40 on a new one.Good sharp knives.Persevere and keep going. After 5 minutes they will not be sharp but 15 mins later you’ll have good sharp blades again.

Purchased to sharpen and clean up some kitchen knives and sharpen my hair clipper blade. I've sharpened the kitchen knives no problem, (two large and two small) they are all super sharp now and it only took around five to ten minutes per knife to get a good edge back on them, I'm looking forward to sharpening them again in the future.I can not however get my clipper blade to sharpen, I think it's just beyond the capabilities of any sharpening stone to sharpen the type of clipper blade I have, which is a shame as I've managed to sharpen a different clipper blade in the past using a stone so check and get some information about your type of clipper blade if you intend on sharpening it yourself, some can be sharpened and other can not.

Works well. Gets the job done for sure and is very simple to use and feels like it would last a very long time. Great value for money I would recommend to a friend

I’ve used plenty of these over the years some with great difficulty but this one is so easy to use especially for a beginner (getting the right angle) it does the job for you

Good value for money.

Used this to re grind and sharpen my chisels and plane blades, excellent job, uses water only, made them nice and sharp. Good purchase.

Easy to use and great quality for the price. A must have if you cook a lot and need sharp knives

Nothing to add.
