What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Was a bit apprehensive about trying these. Soaked as per instructions. They say to use the stone evenly, well, that's easier said than done.

Its cheaper than many other brands which ive had in the pastit takes the pressure off using and sharing but i dont recommend sh... Read More

I figured invest in a stone and learn a new skill and youll get way longer out of your knives plus be able to buy much better quality knives and know they will be looked after to make them worth the extra money
