Review on πŸͺ“ Sharpening Stone Set with Flattening Feature by Michael Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value for money but watch out for the base!

Stones got exactly what I wanted. I blunted my pocket knife a good 5 times before finding the right angle but of course that was user error. I've used it a few times since then and they wear out very slowly so given the frequency I use these stones will last at least a year or two. The ONLY complaint I have is the bamboo base. I keep everything in the original packaging and let it dry for at least 24 hours. Today I opened the box and found mold on the base (see attached picture). I don't know if this is something unique to bamboo or if it needs to be dried for a few days before storage, but I'm a bit disappointed. The bottom is also cracked down the middle due to moisture. I have a severe allergy to mold so I'm going to have to get rid of it completely. Although the stones are great!
