I bought this to see if it was any good, and was surprised how good this was compared to the more expensive units costing 4 to 5 times and much.
It is light weight, and the screw in mast and guide are a little fiddly but once secure you can easily set the Knife in the stand.
The ease in changing stones and having 2 stones on the handle make the task a lot less complex and you can do two stages on each side before replacing the stone for the next grade.
I achieved a very good finish and once few knives were sharpened I got the hang of it very Quickly.
Great value and a good little product. - 1/4 the cost of a Kimbo -
