Best Knife Sharpening Stone Kit #1000 & #6000 with Anti-slip Bamboo Base / Knife Sharpener Stone / Sharpening Stone for Knives / Sharpening Stone Water

Let me start off by saying my knives are much sharper. However, the stone halves have fallen apart. I can still use it , but it shouldn't have fallen apart. Second, the instructions tell you to put the rubber pad on the stone, then mount it on the bamboo stand to sharpen. As others have mentioned, there is no way this makes sense as the rubber pad will not fit in the bamboo.I'm adding an addendum as the seller cares enough about his customers to monitor the customer reviews. He saw my comments above, contacted me and sent out a new sharpening stone. My knives are much sharper, and I appreciate a company that makes a problem right.

After 2 years of use. I use this stone all the time to sharpen my knives. It keeps my $20 cheap kitchen knives sharp. I don't really use the bamboo base. The two stones (red and white) separated easily when I drop it. I'll glue them back, but I hoped they would have stayed together.

I've never used a sharpening stone and had always relayed on one of those counter top knife sharpening contraptions. After reading the instructions, watching a youtube video and giving it a try with a junk knife I was able to sharpen all my good kitchen knives back to the point where the were when I first bought them. Hooray!

Having a sharp blade makes a giant difference while working with knives. It's safer too. This sharpening stone creates a razor edge, the bamboo base keeps everything secure in the process, and the product "looks sharp" just resting in the kitchen.

Block is fine, but bamboo base arrived broken. Also, the rubber insert that it comes with does not fit into bamboo base as shown on the instructions.

Excellent product, which produces a superior edge.

Excellent! Very happy with quality.

Works great!
