Just what I wanted to polish the edge By MacT from Norwich, CT on 10/21/2009 Best Uses: Hunting & Camping Knives, Kitchen Knives Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wanted something to reestablish an edge that has been dulled by field use. This polishes and brings and edge back up superbly. I tend to avoid diamond hones on fine knives as they rip metal. This is what I want for my good stuff.

By GERMSKI from Muskegon, Michigan on 04/07/2009 Pros: Easy To Use, Effective Best Uses: Hunting & Camping Knives, Kitchen Knives Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased this stone along with a 10" hard Arkansas stone for putting an edge on my hunting knives. The stone is nothing fancy, but I did compare pricing on the internet. I found the cost to be very good for the size of the stone. I have used the stone and it does a nice job of dressing up the edge of the knife.
By SWSurgeon from Left Angeles, CA on 01/19/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Durable, Easy to Use Best Uses: All around tool, Campgrounds, Hunting Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I really like the ten inch length of this model. It permits a long stroke, which is helpful with longer bladed kitchen knives or big Bowies. The soft arkansas stone is a moderately aggressive abrasive so it removes steel fairly quickly. However, the pores in the stone tend to load up after a knife or two. At this point it won't sharpen well unless you clean it. I use hot water, some grease-cutting detergent, and a Scotch-Brite type pad. It doesn't take more than a minute to clean. After cleaning, I apply a small amount of fresh honing oil. You could probably also use a little water if you don't like to use oil.
I also have the hard arkansas and the translucent stones for really fine polishing.

Thiner and narrower than I thought By NR from Bellingham, WA on 01/02/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The abrasiveness is right on to get a nice edge. I was expecting a heaver peace of stone.It's only about 7/16 in. thick.
By Johnabus from Seattle, WA on 01/01/2009 Cons: Missing sharpening oil Best Uses: Honing a fine edge Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I repaired a couple of blades that young scouts had worked with learning how to sharpen knives, hatchets etc. repairing the damage was easy but I had to use water as I ran out of light oil, I assumed a small bottle would be included 1/4 to 3/8 oz. as was when I purchased my first stone 20 years ago.
