I only rated this 4 stars because so far I haven't has a chance to really find out how well it works on different knives. I tested on a steak knife and it worked pretty good, but took longer then I thought and clamp had to be adjusted several times as the knife kept moving. Maybe I just need more practice. I can't tell yet if it's a good value for the money. But I like the fact it has different grades of coarse stones and angle can easily be set.

"Fine" hone is not that fine at all and wore out after sharpening only a few knives with it because the abrasive layer is extremely thin and poorly bonded. Clamp has inadequate grip to effectively sharpen larger knives or even small knives with a relatively thick spine.

Simple design that anybody can learn, however if you completely unfamiliar with knife sharpening choose a standard kit vs diamond. Diamond is better suited for harder steel such as vg-10. It can definitely still be used on softer steel but it will remove more material faster, just don't press very hard. A good cutting fluid is recommended during sharpening to aid in removal or excess material and keep the stones from clogging.every type of steel has advantages and disadvantages but this set makes sure they're all sharp.

It sharpens my pocket knives and other knives under 9 inches long really well, and I don't have to worry about it taking off a lot of metal like the electric sharpeners would do. Since it's operated by hand and I get a lot of feedback from the look and feel of the blade as I'm sharpening it, I have total control on the sharpening process.This is the main reason why I got this sharpener: sometimes there just aren't adequate substitutes to sharpening knives by hand.

Makes sharpening easy for most knives that have a blade width at least one inch. For smaller folding knives the hone strikes the protruding screws of the blade clamp.
