GREAT SHARPENER! It has coarse and fine stones. The ability to even sharpen fishing hooks with it's ceramic rod. It has sharpening guides to help keep your blade at the right angle. It has leather for stropping. The sharpening stones are held by magnets so you can replace them and one side has a small compartment to store things in under the stone. It's only drawback is it is a little large for backpacking in my opinion. If you take multiple day camping trips with multiple blades or do a lot of heavy knife usage and prefer a razor edge to a utility one the size is probably worth it.

this is easy to use and does a great job on my kitchen knives.  I watched some youtube videos on how to sharpen knives using a stone and then went to work on my kitchen knives.  they are now sharp and hold a nice edge.  This product works exactly as advertised

This seems to be a convenient stone that will get a lot of use around my home.  I immediately used it to sharpen a couple of hatchets, a couple of axes, and a machete.  This isn't for a fine blade on a knife, but seems to do the job on bigger tools.

I've purchased every knife sharpening gadget there is and none of them worked for me. They ruined my knives. My Dad said to purchase a stone and he'd show me how to use it. I bought one of these stones a week or so ago and my Dad taught me how to sharpen my knives with it. He loved this stone so much I bought him this one as a Thank You.

If you have a really dull knife you may need another stone with a rougher grit and then use this one to get a finer edge on your knife. Use the rougher side first and then go to the smoother grit.

Nice size, do soak it in water for 5 minutes first. DO NOT use oil on it.

Works well for sharpening stainless steel knifes.

Spyderco's ceramic material is very high quality, and the grit level seems very good for a fine edge.  I have several different sharpeners at home, and wanted something to take with me on outings to maintain sharpness - this works great.  I've used it on S30V, M390, and other steels, and it has no problem touching up these hard steels.  I find that I get the most repeatable angles if put the stone on a flat surface and put the leather case underneath it to keep it from slipping, rather than holding it in my hand.

This is a great whetstone, could be a tad bigger, for my bigger Bushcraft knives, but, I tune up everything I get that has a sharp, (or not so sharp an edge!)  This is an especially good value for the money as well.  It's advantage of size and weight, allows me to carry this Fury stone in my Bug Out Bag.
At best, I am a marginal knife sharpener, but these stones, (I have the Fine stone as well), suit me well, and always get good results, in preparation for the next step on my Fury Natural Arkansas Fine stone.....and, I will be looking for an EX-Fine stone of the same company.
I would highly recommend these stones to anyone looking for great sharpening stones!!

Like any product I've purchased from W.E. it's pricy but great quality.  It arrived before the new sharpener so I've used them from day one and they do a great job. I just touched up a neighbor's knives I did previously with my Work Sharp and didn't need to go beyond the 800/1000 grit stones. Stropped them on a leather barber's strop when done with the stones and the knives are crazy sharp.
In order to get the "Mirror Edge" I am striving for, I think I'll need to go with a slightly higher grit on the stones but that's just me. No real need to go past the 800/1000 for a very high functioning blade but I'm rather particular when it comes to sharpening.
Overall, I'm exceptionally pleased with my wicked edge sharpener and all of their products.

I tried other sharpeners.  I learned there is nothing better than a whetstone.
This whetstone works as advertised.  My knives are now really sharp. I can shave the hairs on my arm.

I use my chain saw in woods where there are plenty of rocks and stones. I needed a sharpener so I didn't have to pay $6.00 to sharpen my chain after hitting a rock. This sharpener does a better job than the Hardware Store I was using. I highly recommend this sharpener.

The basic dual grit sharpening stone. Works well on carbon steel blades. I have used it for knifes, machetes, and axes.

This is a great whetstone and one I'll probably use for a very long time. The bamboo stand and rubber grip are a useful feature. I can see where the angle guide would be a welcome bonus if your just starting out and it does keep the blade at the right angle. Though it can be a little tricky to hold.  As a long-time woodworker and dabbler in the kitchen I fully appreciate the importance and safety of having my cutting edges razor sharp. The two grits of this whetstone are well matched to achieve that edge on my kitchen knives. I only subtracted one star because the stone appears on the brittle side and I will not try it in my shop. But a little care goes a long way and assuming I don't drop it on a hard floor anytime soon I should be good to go for years to come

NICE SHARPENING TOOL FOR THE SHOP AND IN THE KITCHEN. I BOUGHT A BUNCH AND GAVE THEM OUT AS GIFTS TO FRIENDS MALE AND FEMALE FOR AROUND THE HOUSE. I USE IT OFTEN ON MY HUNTING KNIVES AS WELL AS KITCHEN KNIVES. ANGLE OF THE BLADE DOES NOT BECOME AN ISSUE SINCE THE ANGLES ARE PRESET BY THE POSITION OF THE STONES. MY POCKET KNIVES NEVER BEEN SHARPER AND DONE IN SECONDS.

I received this item as a gift.  I've been covering one for too long and was thrilled to finally be able to try one.  I gave the 1000 grit side a 20 minute soak and easily worked up a nice slurry.  Within a few minutes I producef an edge that could slice a hanging piece of newsprint.  A few more minutes on the 6000grit side and I and achieved a razors edge that could shave hair from my arm.  Treat your knives well and your edge will last month's and is easily touched up.  This stone also sharpened my broadheads to a razor sharp mirrored edge.  Pick up the nagura stone to keep your water stone  flat and for easily working up a slurry.

Great Whetstone, used on clipper blades only so far and I am very satisfied with the sharpening process! Truly the blades have not been this sharp...ever.

We've been using this stone for all of our kitchen and pocket knives. Whether the knife is 3 or 10 inches, this sharpening system really works great. It has rubber feet to reduce some of the sliding which is nice. It didn't really come with enough oil, so you'll have to buy mineral oil yourself, but everyone should have a bottle of that on hand anyways.
