Sharpening Stones


1.		Woodstock D1130 1000 Grit and 6000 Grit Japanese Waterstone from WOODSTOCK Price: $32.95 Customer Review: Using this stone, i was able to get a knife so sharp it could cut through a sheet of paper without putting any weight on the blade. I am VERY satisfied with this water stone, and would buy one again in a heartbeat.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Stanley 16-050 Sharpening System from Stanley Hand Tools Price: $14.99 Customer Review: I bought this honing guide 7 or maybe 8 years ago. Mine was made in England, and didn't come with the stone and the oil, so it's not exactly the same thing as sold here. Having said that, I have one thing to say about the honing guide, which should be useful for people on budget: You can hold... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Smith's SK2 2-Stone Sharpening Kit from Smith Abrasives Price: $11.49 Customer Review: Not much to say about this. It cuts metal quickly and the fine side gives a great edge. It's solid and sturdy and will last a few years. There was some slight chipping on the edge and that's the only reason I took off a star.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Robert Larson 800-1800 Honing Guide from Robert Larson Co Price: $5.97 Customer Review: This guide is OK for plane blades but it is useless for chisels because it does not hold them accurately. The grooves in the honing guide do not fit the majority of my chisels. If you want a multi-purpose blade/chisel honing guide, look elsewhere.

5.		Smith's TRI-6 Arkansas TRI-HONE Sharpening Stones System. from Smith Abrasives Price: $18.19 Customer Review: Not sure what more I can say about this - it makes sharpening knives easy and quick, and it does a truly excellent job of it with little fuss or muss. I like the edge I get off this much better than the edge that I'd get when I took my knives into the butcher to have him sharpen them. He... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		SE Diamond Sharpening Block Set from SE Price: $3.50 Customer Review: They are about what I expected for less than $8. I don't think the stated grits are even close to what they actually are. In my opinion they are probably between 150-300 grit, there is little difference in going through the grits. Good for sharpening tools or a good place to start for knives. Makes... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Smith's PP1 "Pocket Pal" Multi-Function Sharpener from Smith Abrasives Price: $5.99 Customer Review: I use my knife a lot for work. I am constantly opening packages or stripping the isulation off wires. I cut a variety of materials on a daily basis. I have always relied on stones which I keep at home to keep my knife sharp. Now I can get a very sharp knife in just a few seconds right on the job.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Grizzly T10010 10" Wet Grinder Kit from Grizzly Price: $189.95 Customer Review: I received the grinder two weeks ago. The grinding wheel was chipped on the edge so I called Grizzly. They sent me a new wheel that day. Very good customer service! The stropping wheel wobbles a lot but i don't think that will hurt anything. The grinding wheel MUST be DRESSED before use. If not, the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Smith's DCS4 4" FINE & COARSE Diamond Combo Sharpening Stones from Smith Abrasives Price: $17.97 Customer Review: Bought a knife along with this handheld sharpening stone so I can maintain it sharp and well. So far it has done exactly what I have asked from it. Gets the job done quickly within about 2 minutes depending on how dull your blade is. If it isn't very dull all you need is about 20-25 strokes on both... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Tormek T-7 Water Cooled Sharpening System from Tormek Price: $589.85 Customer Review: One of the best pieces of kit in my entire workshop. Easy to use, good manual and DVD instruction and outstanding results with near perfect repeatability. Incredibly versatile and easy enough to use most of the jigs, if you follow the basic instructions and practice enough to become familiar you... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		DIAMOND SHARPENING STONE - hone block - 2" x 6" double sided FINE + MEDIUM from Sang Diamond Tool Co. Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Economical diamond sharpening stone works as expected to produce well honed knife edges. I like the coarse and fine sides that allow shaping and razor edge sharpening with the same "stone". This replaces several sharping stones that take too much time, patience and skill to get sharp edges.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Smith's DFPK Diamond Precision Knife Sharpening Kit from Smith Abrasives Price: $38.39 Customer Review: I have been sharpening knives with combination of by hand and using one of the sharpeners where you swipe the knife through them. In general, the results have been pretty unsatisfying. I was not sure about this kit, but I really wanted to get some sharper knives. This kit did a great job on the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Steelex D1091 Sharpening Stone Holder from STEELEX Price: $15.95 Customer Review: This holder works fine with standard stones, but doesn't open wide enough to grab the wooden base manufacturers inexplicably glue onto fine (4000+ grit) stones. The problem is that the metal parts are chromed steel. Well, the problem is actually that said metal pokes through moderately snug holes in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		6" Combination Sharpening Stone from HDC Price: $2.50 Customer Review: I purchased this sharpening stone as a stocking stuffer, for my fiance. The 6" length gives him plenty of room to sharpen the full length of his knives' blades and the width fits very comfortably in his (large) hands. The price I paid made this gift, a 'real steal'! The rough side allows him to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Lansky Diamond Deluxe Sharpening System with Extra Coarse, Coarse, Medium and Fine Hones from Lansky Price: $61.69 Customer Review: I, too, had a Lansky sharpener for many years. Then I lost it somehow. I just ordered a new one with the Diamond hones. The only thing good I can say, is the diamond hones are very nice. But the knife-blade clamp is a COMPLETE PIECE OF CRAP! It does NOT hold the blade steady or securely. If the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		DMT W7EFC Diamond Whetstone Mini Diamond Stone - Coarse / Fine / Extra-Fine from DMT Price: $16.14 Customer Review: I bought these for a friend and he seems to like them. He has multiple Leatherman/Swiss Army knives but didn't have anything to sharpen them with. I think the small size of these stones is more convenient for small knives. I'm thinking of getting a set for myself if he won't let me borrow (steal)... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Work Sharp WS3000 Wood Tool Sharpener from Work Sharp Price: Too low to display Customer Review: Set up and use is intuitive and easy. I started with two chisels and a plane blade. Getting the edges back to a flat surface (from years of poor hand sharpening) took quite a while. The sandpaper loaded up fairly quickly and absolutely stopped removing material. A single pass with the grit cleaner... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		DMT F70F Diamond Mini-Sharp Sharpener Fine from DMT Price: $5.89 Customer Review: The fine grade sharpener is ideal for touching up blades. Very handy to reapply edge at work site. Size is perfect for the working person who require a sharp edge.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener from Accu Sharp Price: $5.95 Customer Review: I was a bit skeptical at first, but I have been using this sharpener for several months now and am very impressed. It is a quick easy way to put a sharp edge on any blade you use in the kitchen. I have used it on large and small kitchen knifes. I pulled out a knife the other day while making a dish... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Smith Abrasives DBSF 6-Inch Diamond Sharpening Stone - Fine from Smith Abrasives Price: $20.56 Customer Review: Purchased this as a gift but have one at home that I use. Best sharpener ever, safe spot to hold with thumb, much better for knifes than electric, just a few strokes and knife is sharp.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
