Hello. I got this stone not long ago but I'm so excited that I decided to buy it. I think it's important to say that I'm not new to knife sharpening. I have loved sharpening knives for 35 years. I started simply and went through many different systems and techniques. I bought a Spyderco Sharp Maker a few years ago and have used a ton. I bought wafer-thin stones for this and used them for their intended purpose. The results were good but I wanted a sharper one. Then I bought a Ken Onion Work Sharp about 1.5 years ago and used it quite a bit. It was good, but not amazing, and if you're not careful you can really ruin your blade. I've been reading a lot over the past few months and decided to give water stones a try. I know some might not consider them the highest quality, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. The reviews seemed good so I bought it. After 4 knives I can hardly contain my excitement! They are insanely hot! (I also got a Bearmoo 3K/8K a few days ago after trying them out.) They're not for beginners. In my opinion. That doesn't mean you can't get them, but they do require attention to detail, precision, and patience. They work and work well. Start with a decent kitchen knife. Focus on your point of view and just start. Take your time. Don't try to get the bevel in a few strokes. Your patience will be rewarded. I like leveling stones. I'll probably go with a larger diamond to do the alignment, but so far so good. I like it. I would buy it again with great pleasure.
