These work on hand tools

I used diamond blades and didn't get the higher grit I wanted with my chisels and planer blades. These stones changed everything. It took a while to get used to just wetting them when needed instead of soaking them. But once the surface soaks up some water from the spray bottle, it's done. It's convenient and a lot less messy than stone soaking. I love these and would buy them again.

Pros
  • The perfect rod set! Good choice for kitchen knives, precision tools, sushi knives, etc.
Cons
  • I don't remember

Shapton inexpensive

Just started recently to sharpen my knives. I bought a cheap set of bricks to learn the basics. The 1000 didn't cut and the 6000 was so soft that the tips of my knives went ridges. I've finally decided to invest in higher quality stones and so far I'm really liking them. 1000 seems very aggressive, but that may be due to my first stones.

Pros
  • Medium grit (#1000) also used for coarse grit / Fine grit (#5000, #8000) and ultra fine grit (#12000) works well for finishing
Cons
  • Quick guide

Surprisingly, poor care can kill them.

These stones are clearly of high quality and provide a perfect high gloss finish on items such as planes and chisels (especially Japanese style tools ). A few things to know: 12,000 grit is a waste of time on steel that can't handle that much grit (most western knives). There are a few warnings to read on the Shapton website including: You should not soak them. ever. To use them, squirt and walk (which is very convenient). And flatten them before each use. Here's the catch: trying to flatten…

Pros
  • The stones are painted in matching vented plastic boxes which also double as stone holders
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
