Won't last long, DO NOT USE OIL OR WATER!

At first glance it seems much better and cheaper than the Smith counterpart. Unfortunately, after the first use you understand why it is cheaper than Smith's. The stones are not durable, they wear out quicker than any other stone I have ever used. And if you think Diamond is going to last - think again! The Arkansas stone is the biggest disappointment because it doesn't grind, it just grinds! I used it twice before it fell apart and there wasn't much left. WARNING! If you use water or oil (meaning lubricating fluids you must use), the bricks will fall apart even faster! UPDATE 9/15/19: 1) two of the four stones lost their grip on the plastic handle and fell off. 2) The plastic plug on the upper blade clamping screw just broke! Wonderful! I will upload a photo and contact Amazon/Seller for an exchange. The first photo shows three broken stones, the second shows the condition of the Arkansas stone after ONE use, and the third photo shows how thin these stones are. I have NOT USED the stone in question for more than 2 minutes, it is basically new but flimsy and cheap, also the glue has come loose and is now completely unusable. Also, they seem to have used silicone to glue the Arkansas stone to the plastic handle. I've never seen this technique before, because anyone with the slightest bit of sanity knows that silicone doesn't last long on porous material, I wonder where they make this junk.

Pros
  • Manual tool
Cons
  • Without automatic tool
