Best sharpening stones: never a dull edge

Beginners and seasoned pros will appreciate the double-sided whetstone from Sharp Pebble. For those new to sharpening, the included angle guide is an easy way to learn the technique. Just slide the angle guide on any knife, and it positions the blade at the correct angle for you. Smart!

There are two grit strengths on this whetstone. One side is rated at 1,000 and the other at 6,000. The lower grit side effectively builds a bur and knives and tools as it glides smoothly over the surface of the soaked stone. The 6,000 grit side is a little softer and almost chalk-like, making it difficult to get a beautiful end polish. With practice, it can be accomplished, but newbies may have some trouble.

I love the waterproof bamboo nonslip base. Even when the stone is wet, it holds everything firmly in place so you can focus on the job at hand. The included knife sharpening guidebook is thorough and gives good introductory lessons about how to use a whetstone. For badly worn knives, carving tools, or even axes that need honing maintenance, this is a great bundle that works well with a variety of blades.
