Review on 🔪 KEENBEST Whetstone Sharpener: Precise Sharpening for Excellent Edge Retention by Robert Jaskolski

Great starter block, great price and really everything you need to get started without shelling out $$$. If you're just starting out sharpening, this is what you need to get started. There are tons of videos on youtube but focus on learning apex, forming a good burr and maintaining a constant angle when sharpening. 400 coarse sharpening, 1000 fine sharpening. Eventually you will need 3000/8000 or 3000/6000 --- 3000 cleaning and 6000/8000 polishing and refining. But that's after you really get the hang of it. It's a water stone, not an oil stone. A shallow large tub that can be soaked before use is useful - Ziploc makes a medium-sized food storage container, which is fine if you don't want to fill your sink. Soak for five minutes or until no more air bubbles come out. Re-dip (or wipe with a damp cloth) every few passes to remove metal shavings from the surface and keep the surface flat and clean for sharpening.
