I had less success on harder steel pocket knives and harder steel kitchen knives

He was happy with it and said he can sharpen all of his garden tools as well as his pocket knife with it.

I decided to try some less expensive knives with softer steel and about gave up before finally getting a cheap pocket knife somewhat sharp.

The directions were easy to follow, and I immediately got two pocket knives and a kitchen knife up to razor sharpness.

The stone has 400 and 1000 grits which are perfect for a beginner who wants to learn how to put a scary sharp edge on any and all blades in the house (kitchen, pocket knives, and camping knives).

The stone worked fair to good on pocket knives and short kitchen knives but not very well on longer kitchen knives and filet knives....

Works well for my pocket knives and kitchen knives

I was actually skeptical that such a cheap wet stone could make my K-bar knife razor sharp to the point of being able to shave with it

Available e-book is great too.

These not only compare with more expensive stones, they are a fraction of the cost and you get a nice e-book to start you off

n’t polish it sharp

n’t sharpen it ground the metal
