Review on πŸ”ͺ Efficient Sharpening Made Easy with Trend DWS KIT Essential Sharpening by Austin Arvayo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Top quality: whetstones

This review came about three weeks after the purchase. I've used it to sharpen planes, chisels and kitchen knives, about two dozen blades in all, and I'm very happy with this stone. As the product documentation says, no pressure! A constant angle and light strokes are sufficient. The 3x8 size is perfect. It's heavy and will stay in place if you use a non-slip mat. Of course I still wear it, but I get sharp edges after applying the 1000 grit blade to the skin. A 300 grit finish can change the shape of an improperly ground bevel on the bit, but be prepared for this to take up to 15 minutes. It also leaves a nice "tooth" on a chef's knife, so you don't necessarily need to use a 1000 grit sanding surface for normal use in the home kitchen. A chipped or rounded edge should be ground or belted first in the interest of time naturally. . All in all, for most of my needs, this is a quick and compact replacement for my large float glass and inventory. car sandpaper. With good care, I expect this instrument to outlast me.

Pros
  • DIAMOND CUTTER: for chisels, planes, pocket knives and kitchen knives as well as carbide and HSS reversible tips
Cons
  • not bad, but...
