Used to sharpen wife's hair sheers. Sharpens fast and has minimal wear.

The king kds is the professional version big brother to the king kw-65. It is generally the one sold for home use and is well rated, for not a whole lot more money.

Still usable but not very pleased with that. It loads up slightly in use. It performs just as it should.

Cons

The stone is a generous size and seems it would be great to use, but being easily fractured i have no idea. When trying to replace just a few days later the original seller is gone and another for the same item has magically appeared.

Competitiveness

If you shop around you can get a kds for about the same price as a kw65 and enjoy the benefits of using a bigger thicker stone
