Review on πŸ“¦ Spyderco Ultra Benchstone Pouch, 1-Inch by Michael Crossman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big enough for a plane

The stone works well for sharpening my woodworking tools. It cuts very quickly. My other sharpeners are 2" x 6" diamond sharpeners and they run a bit small when sharpening my largest plane which is over 2" hairs wide. This stone is large enough to easily sharpen my largest plane. A few People on the badger and blade forum (where they use it to sharpen a razor) have complained that the sharpening isn't flat enough and that you can see milling marks when sharpening I can indeed see milling marks on the sharpening but for mine Woodworking tools they seem to be flat enough to work well If you are thinking of using it for a straight razor you should do a little research on this controversy The stone is placed very tightly in a leather case making it difficult to remove to store and remove.I'm sure the leather will stretch over time and you'll be fine in the end.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
