Review on Ultimate Sharpening Solution: Resistant Whetstone Flattening Sharpeners by Sean Purnomo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very Nice Starter Kit

The starter sharpening set costs $26 so the value of this sharpening set is amazing. With this set you get everything you need to sharpen any burr-free knife. I was able to use it to sharpen a moderately dull Shun VG Max knife and a very dull Henckel in just a few minutes. Well, that doesn't count the time I spent leveling the rocks. Speaking of orientation, the rocks are not all flat as can be seen in the picture uploaded. So before sharpening anything, it's worth smoothing the stones first. All you need to do is use a leveling block and move it over the rocks until the surface is level. Stones are not as smooth as high quality stones. They also seem to wear out faster. However, their knives are sharp enough to shave. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a starter kit.

Pros
  • 4 DOUBLE SIDED CLEAR GRIT BORRINS - When sharpening a dull knife you need to start on the lowest grit side of the knife sharpener which is 400 to get the blade into a finer shape then you can Finish finer gradually making the coarser grit to create a smooth and beautiful edge and a really sharp blade. Four kinds of grits are enough for different knife sharpening needs.
Cons
  • Obsolete
