King 1000 Grit Whetstone with Plastic Base Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)No doubt the most used tool I carry with me daya to day is my pocket knife. A key issue with pocket knives is maintaining a finely honed edge. The Sushi Sashimi stone costs much less than other professional level sharpening stones, but performs equally well. It is rather portable, and seems to hold up well in field use. It is a wonderful alternative to +$60.00 competitors.

It has also returned the razor edge to all of my kitchen knives. Last night I sliced a roast into paper thin slices using an Old Hickory butcher knife. Great product!

Shun DM0600 Combination Whetstone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The super-fine 6000 grit is perfect for putting a mirror-like finish on your Japanese style knife. The resulting finish is smooth enough to let sticky items like tomato slices pull cleanly away. The 1000 grit is a typical finish grit in many sharpening kits. Therefore this is not all that you need to sharpen your knives. You also need a rougher, perhaps 600 or so, grit for the first sharpening steps. (Unless you follow sushi chef fashion and sharpen every single evening!) The Shun logo adds to the price of this item, if you just need a whetstone, they're available at a variety of price points...

Japanese Professional Knife Sharpening Stone Sharpener Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So far I've been very happy with this stone. (I use this one and a 6000 grit stone). Good quality at a good price. Have had it for a few months and it is still nice and flat and even. Will update if time proves me wrong.

Edit 6/15/09: I am now more familiar and experienced with stones, so I would like to add a few things. First and foremost, I still believe this is a good stone and at the listed price, it's quite a bargain. I only wish they offered one that was a little wider. I've now tried some King waterstones - the standard for cheap but good Japanese waterstones. In comparison, this stone does not cut as fast as the kings. It also does not dish as fast. More importantly, I feel like this stone leaves a nicer finish than does a king stone at 1000 grit. As such, I recommend this stone in general, but I recommend it very highly if you are on a limited budget and don't want to buy any higher grit stones to finish on. And due to the narrow width of the stone, if you're looking primarily for a coarse stone for grinding (if you are more interested in the 220 grit side than the 1000 grit side), there are probably better options, though perhaps not on amazon.

In either case don't waste money on stones sold by knife companies - shun, global, whatever. They charge a huge markup compared to other companies based on brand recognition and people assuming that a company's stone is best for their knives.

DMT W6EP 6-Inch Diamond Whetstone Sharpener - Extra-Fine With Plastic Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I went out on a limb and purchased this whetstone (along with the DMT Fine Grit Whetstone) based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews I read on Amazon. I was skeptical at first based on price as it's not the cheapest stone on the market. However, my doubts were quickly put to rest when I received it.

I tore open the package like a kid opening a gift on Christmas and immediately went to work on my mom's dull kitchen knives. After a few passes with the fine grit, I used this stone for a finishing edge. WOW! By following the simple directions, I resharpened every knife in my mom's knife block (9 knives of assorted sizes) in less than 20 minutes with a razor-sharp edge. And, I mean razor-sharp. In fact, I put such a sharp edge on these previously worthless knives that I inadvertently shredded a dish-scrubber-thingy while washing one of them without even noticing.

This product definitely works as advertised. This stone is easy to use, stable and compact. Plus, it doesn't wear out after 20 passes like some other diamond carbide sharpeners. It's money well spent.

If you were on the fence about getting this stone, don't hesitate - just get it. I'd even recommend getting this stone along with the fine grit (at a minimum). You won't be sorry.
