Review on 🔪 Efficient Knife Sharpening Stone Flattening: Achieve Complete Precision by Brandon Kraemer

I read a few reviews saying they turn to mush. You really aren't for me. Proper soaking of stones is important for them to function properly. The stones themselves require meticulous care when sharpening which I have not had with other higher quality stones. I'm sick of my kids dropping things and breaking them. I use my knives every day, from pairs to large chef's knives, and I keep them razor sharp. This leads to wear on the edges, so that they have to be sanded at an angle. That's impossible with these stones. Once the edge geometry is off the blade, you can't bring it back with a 400 grit stone or it will take a very long time. I mean for a long time. I hook up my little belt sander to a 1000 belt and put a new edge on it and then sharpen from there. The set includes a microfiber cloth and a smoothing stone. The smoothing stone works very well to keep the stones clean. They are from China so I'm sure the quality depends on which sweatshop they were made in. If I were to buy another set it wouldn't be this one. I try not to buy stuff from China because you never know what's in it. I keep them separate from anything I store food in, and I clean knives and surfaces after I'm done. Overall good cheap stones but I certainly don't trust their provenance. The next purchase will not be a Naniva or Shepton set. If you want to learn how to sharpen knives yourself this is a great starter kit. Cheap enough to break and it will work just fine, but don't trust what's holding them together.
