Review on Complete Knife Sharpening Stone Set by Mark Hart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

DO NOT BUY THIS for hand tools

Then why 5 stars? I will tell you. Because the sheer volume of reviews for this product would have distorted my actual rating, which would have been 0. You should know right away that these are two stones with the same grain, just colored differently. I know there is no difference in texture or grit because I have other high quality Shun waterstones and bought them to sharpen woodworking tools, which is stupid of me. Aside from being colored stones of the same grit I can't tell you what the true grit is. I'm telling you that 400 is a way to make up for 400 and 8000 is ridiculous. It's definitely less smooth than my 1000. It's all just a joke and should be $20. For $20, who cares if it really is the right decision, right? But for $50/$60 you think you got a deal. Actually it isn't. Take that $55 and buy 1 Combo Stone from a trusted source. Yeah, down a stone, but here's something. That second stone that comes with the kit seems sooooo worth it. It's the same stone. Congratulations. We can get drunk together and mourn our stupidity

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
