Double-Sided Diamond Sharpening Stone, Knife Sharpening Stone with Extra Fine 600/Coarse 200 Grit Diamond Plate, Silver, 7 x 3.5 Inch

Does what it says

Great just what I've been looking for. Thank you.

This does an excellent job of keeping our kitchen knives, safely sharp. No slipping. The knife cuts where you put it on a vegetable, after sharpening. I like that it has a quick, carbide draw sharpener for garden and rougher knives, or for repairing a damaged knife. The 1000 grip panel is the extra touch for good kitchen work and hunting knives. My pocket knife, which is a tool and used as such, is quickly brought back with just a few strokes on the 400 grit and 600 grit. A few swipes on the 1000 grit panel if it is the end of the day. This sharpener is NOT meant for sharpening scissors or shears, but if you understand what you are doing, it works great for that chore. If you haven’t been educated to know how different scissors need to be sharpened, don’t do it, you will ruin you scissors. This knife sharpener will not ruin them, you will. I pulled my neighbor’s hedge shears out of his garbage, spent 5 minutes with it, then set it by his garage door. Now, he loves it. This is not a, “no-brainer,” sharper. But, a no-brainer sharpener will not get a knife half as sharp as this will if you take 15 minutes to learn how to properly sharpen a knife. It is very reasonably priced, and safe to use. I will buy again

1000-grit side has defects. Ceramic plate cracked in 2 corners upon first use.

The double-sided plate is thick enough to be solid, and the base stays in place on any smooth surface. The whole thing seems very well made and the stone cuts even premium knife steels like S35VN and CPM20CV quickly and efficiently. The size work well for most knife sizes including 8" chef knives.

As advertised, Great value. With a little practice sharpening kitchen knives extremely sharp.

I have only used this diamond knife sharpener once. So far it has been fantastic. It quickly sharpens my pocket knife to a sharpness I have never gotten before. It may warrant 5 stars if it turns out to be long lasting. I am very happy with it.
