Review on πŸ”ͺ Cali Valley Sharpening Stone – Supreme Blade Restoration by David Plunkett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, fast and gives a super sharp edge when used correctly!

This whetstone system works fantastic! I found it a bit difficult to use the angled guide but that may be because I already know how to use a whetstone to sharpen and sharpen all types of blades so I got it after about 2 minutes of trying not used. I would recommend for beginners or those new to sharpening to use a manual so they don't ruin their blades to the point where they are beyond repair. One thing the instructions don't tell you and one thing that speeds up the blade. Sharpening consists in making circular movements along the entire length of the blade with moderate pressure, instead of the movement described in the instructions. It gets rid of the factory edge faster and offers an edge that needs touching up from time to time. I also recommend using food grade mineral oil instead of water for lubrication as it makes for a smoother ride. Do the first major lubrication the first time, as you can store the stone in a strong zipped bag, and if you need to use it again, all you need is a few drops of oil to lubricate it again. Remember that you will need the amount of a 16 ounce bottle of edible mineral oil the first time, as the lube needs to fully penetrate the stone, but after that a few drops will be enough to get started. *** I may edit this review by adding the motion video I'm talking about above later just to let people know what I mean. *** I have only sharpened 6 knives with it and plan to use the leveling. Stein before doing anything else as I know that flat stone works better and I don't want to work as hard to flatten it again in the future as every time the blade is sharpened stone throws a "bowl " in the middle.

Pros
  • πŸ”ͺ SECURITY YOU CAN RELY ON. A sharp blade is a sure blade. But before you start sharpening your knife, we want to make sure your sharpening tools are assembled correctly to ensure your safety! Simply soak the whetstone in water for about 10 minutes and use a leveling stone to level it properly. The non-slip silicone base keeps the stone in place, while the durable non-slip bamboo base provides extra security and comfort when sharpening your knife.
Cons
  • Some little things
