Great workhorse stone, esp for crap steel knives
I have an OCD thing about knives being sharp.
Sadly, most people/kitchens that I know have crappy, dull knives.... crappy, hard to sharpen, cheap stainless knives.
For crappy stainless knives, these are fantastic. Use the diamond side for 440c, German stainless, Chinese/Korean/etc mystery metal, or badly dulled blades.
For good knives, these are still pretty useful due to the ceramic portion. Use this for maintaining good Japanese or Swedish steel.
For the price, this is amazing.
For more money, try Shapton Professionals and a fine kitayama.

Awesome deal. Works particularly great on zdp-189 as a quick full sharpening when I don’t want to pull out my guided system. (Which also has diamond stones)
Diamonds leave a good rough edge, ceramic makes it fairly cleaned up. If I want to go farther say to a mirror I’d probably pull out my guided stuff anyway.
Ive only had a chance to test zdp-189 and a softish stainless (probably 420) so far. Worked fine for both.

This one surprised me a bit today, when I finally pulled it out again to really give it a proper chance.
Out of the box the diamond side is crazy rough, rub a screwdriver shaft over the whole surface for a couple minutes to break it in before touching a blade to it.
And the edges on the ceramic side are too sharp, and brittle. I rounded those over with a diamond plate to avoiding chips in the plate or unwanted scratches on the blade.
But after that prep work I went to town on a seriously dull S30V blade.
Had a new bevel set on the diamond side in no time.
A couple minutes on the ceramic side and deburring in cork left me with an edge that easily push cut newspaper.
About 20 swipes on leather loaded with green compound gave me an edge that shaves arm hair with no tugging and no irritation.
Catches hair above the surface, but doesn't quite pop them.
Like others have commented, this isn't a 10k+ polished finish or anything, but it's plenty suitable for an above average working edge. Better than I thought I'd get from a 2 grit setup with such a large jump from the coarse to the fine side
For the price, could be a great solution for those who just need to maintain a few knives, don't want to spend a fortune, and don't need a large progression of grits for a true razor's edge
Update: can now confirm that the uneven glue between the two halves makes for a diamond side that is noticeable not flat 😒
Worked well enough for working an edge, but don't attempt to thin a flat ground knife on this one, you'll be chasing high and low spots till there's no knife left

Flat, no raised edges, even grit on both sides. No protrusions and provides a clean edge. As expected for Fallkniven.
Quickly shipped as expected.

Good basic stone
I needed something to re-profile small and large blades and also to get my heavy-use (no very fine or ultra-sharp edge needed) blades maintained. This absolutely fits the bill. Good product at the price point. Diamonds on the coarse side make re-profiling and removing chips, etc. a breeze. If you want Japanese water-stone levels of sharp, get a Japanese water stone set. This fits the bill for what it is: a solid, good-sized stone that'll re-profile and put a decent edge on a blade.

Good for beginners and useful for daily used simpler knives as folder or kitchen knives.

What's the point of having it in an exclusive box, only to be sent in a plastic bag?
It's looks like Ace Ventura has delivered the package...

sapspsWell if they don't know how to prepare a package for the mailservice and it get broken under transportation, it don't deserve a better review! It's the quality that you receive that counts, not how it looks on a picture!

Excellent quality and shipped on a timely basis. This bench stone allowed me to wear away a great deal of rust on an old blade and make it look almost new again. I then continued to sharpen and polish the blade to make it perfect. Because of this stone, I am taking old knives I find in the weirdest places, even garage and estate sales and make them look new again and give them new life in the kitchens and garages of our friends and family. Love it!!!
