At this price, I give the product a score of 2+. The construction is very unstable, even after locking the pivot. The plates are too narrow and short, and the quality of the diamonds is not impressive. The connection between the guide and the plate is poorly designed. The two extra guides seem unnecessary – one just gets in the way when sharpening. The chosen sharpening angles are also disappointing – 20 and 25 degrees is a poor option for most knives.

Benchstone by Work Sharp is a diamond sharpener with gradations of 320 and 600, complete with an additional ceramic plate. The robust design enables both smaller and larger knives to be sharpened with precision.
The three sharpening surfaces are mounted on a rotating block, which significantly improves the sharpening process. The entire unit is mounted on a polymer base with non-slip feet for stability during use. The set includes 20° and 25° angle guides to help maintain the correct sharpening angle. Diamond inserts restore sharpness, while ceramic is used for final smoothing of the cutting edge.
The Pivot Response system makes the sharpening block respond to pressure by adapting to the blade profile, resulting in more efficient sharpening. This function can be locked if required.
Set contents:
- sharpening block,
- non-slip base,
- 3 replaceable sharpening plates,
- 20° and 25° angle guides.
Instructions for use: wet the stone with water or use sharpening oil before use. Place the whetstone on a stable, level surface. To sharpen the knife, make several steady strokes with the blade on the surface of the stone - first with one side, then with the other, keeping the correct angle.

A set that doesn’t cost much, and is really worth recommending. Thanks to the guides, even a beginner user can manage.

Great set at a good price. You can buy replacement plates and guides if they wear out (though I doubt that will happen quickly). You can easily sharpen even large knives. What I liked most was the idea with the movable construction, which makes sharpening the knife tip much easier. It’s a pity there are no plates with other grits than 360/600 on sale – an 800 or 1000 would be useful, maybe something can be adapted. I definitely recommend it!

A very good device, great idea with the guides – it's ideal for sharpening and learning how to maintain the proper angle while sharpening.
-
A fantastic sharpener for both small and large kitchen knives. The three sharpening surfaces allow you to sharpen the blade very precisely and neatly. For someone with some experience, this is equipment worth recommending.

I wholeheartedly recommend this system. For two years I have been sharpening all my knives with it: pocket knives, folders, and kitchen knives, up to a sharpness that allows shaving. Now I bought a second set to have space for two extra diamond plates and leather. It’s really a great system – and the Work Sharp diamond plates are excellent.
