This is the first whetstone I have ever managed to use successfully. The only downside is that my kitchen knives are now so sharp that I need be extra careful.
azz710Did you have any trouble using this to sharpen your kitchen knives? I see most of the peopl replying are using smaller "camping" knives etc but I was curious how it performed with kitchen knives.
DeclanFI bought the small one as a test, the assumption being that if it lived-up to the sterling reviews, I'd buy a large whetstone set. But I find that it's no trouble at all to sharpen any knife with it, simply holding it in my left hand and holding the knife in my right hand. It works so well that I don't think I'll need to buy a full-sized set. I sharpen this one about once a week, using a steel to de-burr it before each use, and in under two minutes, I can get it sharp enough to shave with.
