LARHN Whetstone Sharpening Stone Set – 400 1000 6000 Whetstones, Non-Slip Bamboo Base, Silicon Holder, Angle Guide & Fixing Stone

Highly recommended in my opinion. Great product, Excellent value for ££ very easy to use and the E guide is good for beginners and worth reading if you've not used a whetstone in a while. I would suggest practicing on an old knife first to get the technique right. The bamboo holder is pleasing to look at, but in my opinion a lid would be the finishing touch. The sharpening guide that slots over the blade is good, but takes some getting used to. A must for beginners though. Good quality stones and the right grades for multi purpose sharpening. My knives came up a treat, even my old army issue folding knife I've had 33 years has a great edge now. Delivery wasn't great as Amazon couldn't find my property on the delivery day so came a day late. Not Lahrns fault though. Overall I'm really pleased with this product and can't wait to use it again.

I was looking for a whetstone that could recover a very dull edge but also polish an edge that just needed fettling a little. This seemed a good compromise with a reasonable offering of grit finishes. I've not used a whetstone for years and the guide is a handy addition until I get used to sharpening my knives freehand again. It can be a fiddly process until you get in a rhythm but the end results were great. I felt it could be sharper but that is down to me, not the stones, I needed to spend a little more time rather than rushing it. They are good quality as are all the bits that come with it and the three different grits are the perfect combination to sharpen pretty much any knife and resembles incredible value for money. All in all incredibly happy and would highly recommend this set

The stones are excellent quality and brought my cheap knives back to life. I had a towel under the base for extra stability - without it, the base will slip occasionally. The plastic guide is unnecessary and really just gets in the way. **Pros** - Excellent quality - Great value for money **Cons** - Plastic guide makes sharpening more difficult **Would I buy again?** Yes

Quality set of whetstones. I have been after getting an upgraded set for ages and I haven't been disappointed so far. They arrive beautifully packaged, well protected, with a set of breif clear instructions included in the box. Each of the two stones has a rubberised grip that holds them firmly in their wooden base, minimising any movement while you work with them. (I was only expecting to get 1 of these grips.) They were delivered on time and a nice touch on the part of the seller LARHN is just prior to delivery they emailed me a PDF set of detailed instructions as well. I look forward to using them to keep all my knives in top condition!

As a hobby cook, I recently upgraded a number of features in our kitchen and for the first time in my life, splashed out and bought 3 good quality knives. Good knives deserve proper sharpening and that means investing in a half-decent wetstone system. I bought mine from LARHN who supplied a 3 grit selection of stones at a reasonable price. I was impressed by their customer support, as I immediately got an email from the firm promising a smooth and trouble free transaction. They also supplied a sharpening guide in Pdf format that was helpful to a novice `grinder` like myself. The whole stone system gives the impression of quality, not being built down to a price. Only used it once to touch up a carving knife and although the end result didnt pass the `paper` test properly, it did cut it. A bit more practice evidently called for. All in all, very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it unreserveably.

We have a nice set of kitchen knives that we have not done a good job keeping sharp. And I decided I would do the sharpening job myself rather than taking the knives to a professional. I researched this purchase extensively. There are enough options to cause headaches and confusion. I settled on this set because it is reasonably priced and has received good reviews. Also, this was a among those that offered next day delivery and availability. Before I used these I viewed a couple more videos on YouTube and I read the eBook available as part of this product's benefits. I have completed 6 of the 14 knives in our set. Since they were in a pretty bad state, I spent about 25 minutes per knife. I am very satisfied with the results. I don't have the expertise to know how much better I could have done if I had used better techniques. My experience tells me that one can start as a beginner and sharpen knives to a very decent edge. I will keep studying to see if I can get better. Another reviewer noted that the bamboo stone holder would slip in spite of being advertised as non slip. I can attest to that. If the rubber base becomes wet, it will slip on a standard kitchen counter while being used. All true, but not a problem for me. Since we are working in a wet environment, it works very well to set that frame on a folded kitchen towel. That will avoid a puddle of water accumulating on the counter while sharpening knives and prevent the unit from slipping. It worked for me! This unit arrived in a nice cardboard package with cut out places to neatly store the stones between uses. For me, this set is just right.

Quality of the stone is ok on the 6000 but the 400 & 1000 feel real gritty and even couple of passes with the flat stone it still feels the same. I no the 400 is rough but doesn't feel the same as other stones the same grade. With the base. A tiny bit of water and its not no slip no more. Other than what i have put above the stones are good to practice, or you just need to add to the collection. ALL SAID ABOVE IS MY OPINION. SOME LIKE A GRITTY STONE

These were my first sharpening stones and I've found them to be really easy to use. They come with PDF instructions as well as some simple instructions in the box. For this price they are great for begginers. Even if you spend £100+ on some really high quality stones, without practicing good technique you aren't going to get your knives any sharper than you can with these. The non slip pads and bamboo holder work really well and look great too.

queste pietre sono fantastiche l'unica pecca è che hanno invertito la 1000 con la 6000 e uno non proprio esperto potrebbe confondersi

I have had stones for years now and they work as a charm. It's relaxing and satisfying to use them. I would recommend it to beginners.

Todo muy bien y bien empaquetado!!!! Ahora haber como se me, da esto de afilar!!!! La única pega, que ya lo había leído en otro comentario, esq la numeración de la piedra 1000 y 6000 me parece que están cambiadas, aun así por el tacto no parecen iguales y no noto si una es más basta que la otra!!

Hoy me llego el producto y lo primero que me llamo la atencion fue que la de 1000 era mas fina que la de 6000. Ademas al poner una contra la otra las piedras no estan nada planas. La base tampoco es que sea muy estable.Fue usarlas una vez y no me quede nada convencido. Ya las acabo de devolver.

Ottimo per i miei coltelli da cucina. Ci sono tre grane diverse adatte a tutte le situazioni.
