Review on Complete Knife Sharpening Stone Set by Cody Bowie

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's all about technology.

I've been using these stones for the last day, they work great. Once you master the technique that works for you, you can sharpen any knife to the point where it can cut through newspaper. Tip: Make sure to count how many times you go through the stone on one side and how many times on the other side. If I know the knife is very dull or chipped, I usually do 100 passes on each side with 400 grit. I test the blade on thick paper and if it cuts through, I test it on newspaper. If it doesn't cut through the newspaper, I make 50 more passes on each side. Repeat this until the blade can cut through the newspaper. After that I do 50 passes on each side at 1000, 3000 and then at 8000 bricks. This should make the blade very smooth and polish. I plan on getting a sling or piece of leather to further polish the blade. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is no dressing stone included in this pack so you can re-smooth/smooth the stone after using it.

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Keep Quiet
