The stone is large, easy to sharpen on, solidly made, and shows no visible flaws. The only downside is the price – it’s not the cheapest, and in some cases it costs more than diamond products.
The whetstone features two levels of grit: 3000/8000:
- The 3000 grit is intended to refine any blade,
- while the 8000 grit is utilized for a smooth and polished cutting edge.
Its abrasive surface measures 20 x 7 cm. Enhanced hardness of the SHARPI stone, as per the Japanese JIS R6001 standard, facilitates quicker sharpening and reduces wear.
The set comes with a stand to keep the whetstone from moving during use.
Instructions for use: Submerge the stone in water (or spray it) or apply sharpening oil. Position the whetstone on a stable surface. To sharpen a knife, glide it over the stone (applying light pressure) multiple times, alternating sides. It's important to maintain the appropriate angle of the blade (15 degrees - 30 degrees) while sharpening.

The stone works flawlessly, fulfills its function, sharpens well and causes no trouble during use. It doesn't chip or crack, everything is fine. The base is solid, the stone doesn't slip, you can sharpen with ease.

I'm not a knife collector, but it sharpens both my Morakniv and Victorinox knives very well. Although some sharpening stones are very expensive, this one is perfect for sharpening bushcraft and EDC knives.

I also have a 600/2000 sharpening stone from the same brand – that one works perfectly, and this one a bit differently, which is why only 4 stars. It sharpens just as well as the previous one. The 3000 grit is fine, but after sharpening three knives on the 1000 side, clear wear appeared – I don't know if this stone is just that soft or if I just got a softer piece? Despite this, I generally recommend it.

I recommend this product – it's my first sharpening stone, I bought it because I wanted to sharpen knives differently than with regular sharpeners, and this stone works very well.
