My Opinels are razor sharp again
Perfect stone for my folding knives. A few minutes and they shave paper again.

Honest natural stone
This is a natural sandstone, so it's slower than a diamond plate, but the edge it leaves is very refined. Comes with a simple holder that keeps it steady on the counter. I use it for my Opinel No. 8 and kitchen paring knife.

Exactly what a beginner needs
I was intimidated by sharpening stones after ruining a knife with a cheap hardware store one years ago. This Italian shell sandstone cuts gently and forgivingly — it's hard to overdo the angle because the stone feels so smooth. I soaked it briefly as suggested, worked my grandpa's old Opinel for about ten minutes, and it popped right through tomato skin afterward. For the sale price this is an absolute steal.

Decent but slow
It puts a nice edge on, no complaints about results. But natural sandstone wears down faster than I expected and requires frequent flattening. Fine as a starter stone.

Gentle on vintage blades
I sharpen my late husband's old pocket knives on this and it treats the steel kindly. Doesn't remove too much material. Very happy with it.

Arrived with a chip
Stone works okay on one side, but mine came with a noticeable chip in one corner. Didn't want the hassle of a return over ten dollars, but disappointed in the quality control.
