This is the first stone I have ever used. I usually use a rat tail file. I wanted to learn how to sharpen with a stone so I bought this one. And after reading many reviews about different stones, I chose this product. Having never used a stone before, it took me about an hour to finally calculate the number of hits on each side to get the perfect angle. My eyesight isn't very good, so I can barely see the angle the blade is at. In general I like this stone, it seems to be made of good material. In my opinion, the base is useless, I do not use it. If you take your time, you can get a razor blade with this product. I would suggest adding a sling to this purchase to have a razor blade! I recommend
