Pros & Cons
Pros
The versatility and portability of this system is outstanding. There's a few reviews from people that mistake their user error for a defective product. Works exactly as advertised.
Whetstones are great but require re-dressing and drying before storing. The diamond stones are less messy than than regular sharpening stones because they don't require neither water, nor oil.
The only downside is that sometimes the sharpening stone dislodged from the guide. The angle guide is so important to keep your bevels even and not convex. They move freely when unlocked.
The clamp secures the blade firmly. I like that it locks the blade into a specific angle (so hard to do freehand) it does a better job holding a knife than my lansky kit.
Cons
This kit is so bad, i honestly wander if its a knockoff. The plastic knife clamp is $12. The dmt sharpening stones are good, but the guide was broken when i received it.
Highlights
Quality
I bought this kit to learn how to freehand sharpen overall i am pleased with the kit
Quality product that has fulfilled my expectations
The clamp is adequate but i feel for that price a higher quality one should be supplied
The diafold diamond hones are great but i dont really care for the aligner
Price
The bulk of the cost is for the hones so it was money well spent i just wish they had a better guide system
Shipping
I have been sharpening knifes for 65 years and never thought it could be this fast and easy
Packaging/appearance
This really surprised me at how good this worked some of the other reviews said it is not high quality a person need to use fin... Read More
Competitiveness
It works as it should but i find the lansky guide clamp seems to be a little more manageable than the dmt aligner clamp
I got it because i needed diamond to hone a maxamet blade and now i use it on all my knives instead of my expensive shapton stones

I bought an ultratec that is as sharp or sharper than any other new knife with what appears to be about 20 degrees per side
