What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
If you're looking to get into sharpening by stone, this is a good beginners product as it's not very pricey. The 4000 grit is a treat since my diamond stones top-out at 1200. This is a must if you have a drawer full of dull knives.
Relatively easy to use for a beginner. Would recommend it to everyone.
I like the product because it's easy to use and with an affordable price. Used it for the first time the next day after receiving it and overall am very satisfied. I'm happy with the purchase as it does a pretty good job.
Cons
Packaging was fine, it's easy to use, but it made my knives duller. It took ages to hone an edge. Can't replace, only refund.
Highlights
Quality
Highly recommend this product for anyone interested in a good quality whetstone
For people who just need a good quality whetstone that can sharpen your knife this is an excellent choice
Needed a good quality stone for sharpening japanese style knives
Do be careful with the included guide it left some marks on one of my cheap knives
Price
And the value for price is second to none
In fact nowhere else is this sharpening system available at a lower price
Packaging/appearance
Appears to be a well made product good packaging exactly as described
The packaging was also very good and it had two rubber bases to make sure the corners werent damaged
Competitiveness
This was my first whetstone i ended up going with this one over the other more expensive whetstones on amazon and it worked great
A great tool to sharpen knives for the price
A good stone but obviously not the best based on the price point

It didn’t work quite as well on my other cheap knives but i think that’s because of the type of steel they are made out of compared to my japanese knife

Fine for knives or small chisels but to small for larger irons and such
