Review on Finew Professional Whetstone Sharpener with Enhanced Sharpening Capability by Michael Mayes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Make sure you know how to use them properly

Overall this is a great sharpening set. One of the whetstones is made of corundum and the other is made of silicon carbide, both marked with the appropriate grit. The stones are large enough to fit each blade in the knife block. The only very minor gripe I have is that the bamboo based rubber grip that the stones are supposed to sit on during use doesn't have a good quality rubber foot so it doesn't stay in place effectively. Silicone insulators, which hold the blocks in place in the packaging, are a good solution for this, but they defeat the purpose of the bamboo backing. There is no explanation on how to use the included parts, so those who have never used a sharpening stone before will need to look elsewhere for guidance on the proper care and use of the various tools included in this kit. Overall a good little kit that does its job very well and has good quality components. Worth the price.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Some little things
