Review on πŸ’Ž Inclusive Schaaf Diamond Sharpening Tool with Universal Compatibility by Mike Bogan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

does the job perfectly

So I decided I wanted to learn how to sharpen chisels and knives hands-free, Γ  la Paul Sellers and Rex Krueger. I knew I wanted to use diamond stones because I just don't like the idea of constantly leveling my stones or risking bad results. I also don't want to use a water stone because of the hassle and mess. I just want something that can live in the kitchen and does double duty for both chisels and kitchen knives. I didn't have a price for the 3 stone set that Paul Sellers uses, although I'll probably update it at some point. It now works very well for my purposes. It worked MUCH faster to smooth the back of my chisels than the Arkansas stone that came with it. After completing the basic sanding, I almost never use the 400 grit side; Just a quick workout on the 1000 grit side, a bit of belt polish and just enough sharpness for my needs. I haven't been able to achieve real razor sharpness yet, but that depends on my technique and my developing technique. It's progressing. I really don't think I'll ever buy crazy fine grain rocks in multiples of thousands. Just not necessary in my very real, pragmatic world. I especially like the included holder. Super easy to use and prevents the item from sliding on the countertop. The stone itself is nice and heavy and the whole construction looks well made and of good quality. For the money and at this stage of my experience/knowledge of using a whetstone this is spot on.

Pros
  • Hands-Free Operation
Cons
  • I'll add later
