Review on Knife Sharpening Stone Set - Complete Abrasive & Finishing Products by Patrick Ross

You get a lot for little money. Unfortunately you get what you paid for. Smoothing stones, slings, even a bamboo base are all good and useful. Maybe even an angle indicator (I'm not a fan of that). The main problem with the stones is that I feel that the grain size distribution is quite broad and as a result the scratch pattern the stones leave is similar to the scratch pattern of coarse grains. The 3000/8000 stone grit is also much too high. Based on the feel and the scratch pattern it leaves I would put its grit around 800/2000. You can't even come close to polishing an edge with this 8000 grit stone! This will give you plenty of stones and accessories that will come in handy for sharpening kitchen knives and rudimentary tools. If you want more, stay away. I returned mine.
