Premium Whetstone Knife Sharpening System – 1000/6000 Grit Whetstone Knife Sharpener Kit with Angle Guide & Non-Slip Bamboo Base – Guided Beginner Instructions

Excellent Quality and Easy to Use The Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone delivers excellent results. It sharpened my knives very effectively, restoring a clean and precise edge. The included angle guide is especially useful, making the sharpening process much easier and more consistent, even for beginners. Solid build quality and great performance—definitely worth the purchase.

So, before beginning this review, I think it's important to note that this stone is a standard item that is sold by a different company and simply branded with "sharp pebble" branding. If you know the right thing to search for on amazon ("sharpening stone knife non-slip base angle guide 1000/6000"), you will find at least 20 more listings selling exactly the same product for a variety of prices, nearly all of them less than this one, which has a higher price because of the fact that it is well-marketed and shows up higher in the search. If you are interested in this stone, it's probably a better bet to get the exact same thing for cheaper, since you can. That being said, I would recommend getting one that comes with the angle guide, which we'll go into more detail on later in the review. Ok with that disclaimer out of the way, this is a really excellent sharpening stone. The included angle guide is a game changer -- by far the most difficult part about sharpening knives is keeping the angle consistent, and this little thing makes it dead simple. I got one of these for my mom, who had never sharpened a knife in her life. After spending about 5 minutes with it, she was up and running. We also had a pretty good test bed for it -- since she had never sharpened a knife before, her knives were so dull that you couldn't injure yourself with one if you tried. They are literally unable to cut through a tomato's skin, even after vigorously sawing back and forth - you'd have to pierce it with the point first. We took one of these completely dull knives and worked it with this stone for probably 45 minutes and while it takes longer than that to get a knife from 100% dull to razor sharp, the difference was abundantly clear to everyone. It was once again an actual knife that could cut vegetables with ease. If you are not familiar with knife sharpening, this is a perfect intro because of the angle guide, and whetstones are much much more effective than stand sharpeners, so this is what you should get. If you are on the fence about whether you need to sharpen your knives at all, you do. Get one of these and it will make cooking much easier and honestly much safer, since the chances of a knife slipping off something you're trying to cut and into your fingers is much lower when the knife is sharp enough that it bites instead of slipping. Ah one more thing - the package does not include instructions on how to use the angle guide so I will add them here. Take the tip of the knife and slide it into the end of the angle guide, then use the ceramic rails to slide the angle guide all the way on to the body of the knife, so the tip protrudes from the other end. Now, within the guide there is some play - if you place the knife/guide on the stone and flex the handle, looking at it from the side, you will see that the knife can rest either against the top or bottom of the plastic inside the guide. I would recommend keeping it resting against the bottom. The *only* way you can mess up is not holding the angle consistently when sharpening, so make sure to keep an eye on this. As you hold the handle, make sure you are putting pressure on it in such a way that the knife stays flat against the bottom of the inside of the angle guide. Beyond that, just go for it, moving the knife back and forth across the stone. You can look up whetstone tutorials on youtube for the rest. One more thing. As you sharpen a knife on a stone, both the knife and the stone are having their surfaces ground away. This means that, over time, the surface of your whetstone will go from being flat, to being uneven. It is super important, however, that your whetstone surface is perfectly flat in order to accurately sharpen a knife. So if you are planning on keeping your knives sharp long term, you will also need what's called a "flattening stone." My research has indicated that using a diamond plate for this will yield best results, however, there are plenty of other types of flattening stones on amazon with good reviews that cost less than a diamond plate, so if you want to experiment, go for it. In fact, there is another listing that sells this same stone with a "flattening stone" as well, for less than the price of this item: Professional Knife Sharpening Stone - Two Grit 1000/6000 Whetstone - Kitchen Knife, Chef Knife & Tool Shaping System - Kit Includes Non-Slip Bamboo Base, Angle Guide, Flattening Stone and Instructions . The bad news is that there are a lot of different flattening stones at a lot of different price ranges. The good news is that you can experiment -- it's quite easy to check whether your stone is actually perfectly flat -- just take any other perfectly straight surface (edge of a piece of paper, ruler, level, any type of construction square, etc), crouch down so your eyes are even with the level of the stone, and move the straight edge across the surface, looking for any gaps. To be super precise, put a light behind it, so you will see the light coming through any gaps. Oook that's it for this mega-review, hope this was helpful!

The quality is top notch! Unfortunately, I think my knife was in bad shape and needs an even lower grade stone to shave off more of the blade. I was not able to slice easily through paper as all the youtube videos showed! It was definitely better than before, but I think maybe I need to just keep sharpening it??

The Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone delivers exactly what it promises: a dependable, easy to use sharpening system that produces excellent results. The dual grit design is practical and efficient. The 1000 grit side restores a working edge quickly, while the 6000 grit side refines and polishes it to a high level of sharpness suitable for precision kitchen tasks. The stone feels solid and well constructed, with consistent grit across the surface. The non slip base provides stability during sharpening, which is especially helpful for beginners. The included angle guide is a useful addition for maintaining proper technique. After a single sharpening session, my knives showed a clear improvement. Edges were noticeably sharper, smoother, and more consistent. The stone removes material evenly and does not wear down excessively with normal use. This whetstone is a strong choice for anyone looking to maintain their knives at home. It offers professional quality results without unnecessary complexity, and the materials and design inspire confidence in long term durability.

I recently started using this whetstone, and it works amazingly well. The dual-sided different grit gives me the perfect combination for both sharpening and polishing my knives. After just a few strokes, I feel like I’m wielding professional chef-level tools! Seriously, it makes you feel like Gordon Ramsay in your own kitchen! The non-slip bamboo base keeps the stone steady while sharpening, and the included angle guide makes it easy to maintain the correct angle, even if you’re not a pro. The stone itself is high-quality and durable, and the waterstone surface ensures smooth sharpening without damaging the blades. Compared to other knife sharpeners I’ve tried, this one stands out for its precision, ease of use, and professional results. I’ve been able to restore dull knives to razor-sharp perfection, making cooking more enjoyable and efficient. For anyone serious about their kitchen knives, this whetstone is a game-changer.

I rarely, as in ever, write reviews, but needed to for this product. I have always had electric knife sharpening tools before, and they could barely even get it back to 1/2 factory sharp, even the more expensive models. First time I have tried a wetstone tool. OMG they are even sharper than factory now, even with my noob techniques. Incredible product.

This stone serves its advertised purpose very well. Sharpens most knives nicely. Easy to learn to use. Good size for most knives. Factory follow up and hints are helpful. Should last a long time if properly used.

This is a great quality stone. I’m novice at using a stone for sharpening, but I used the included guide and took my dull chef knife to razor sharp! I was proud. I’d definitely recommend even for a novice like myself

This sharpening stone is amazing! It brought our dull knives back to life and made them razor-sharp again. It’s easy to use and feels like a high-quality product. If you’re looking for a reliable way to keep your knives in top shape, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Ottimo prodotto ho affilato subito un paio di coltelli , ho messo un po' di tempo x l'affilatura, manca un po' di manualità ma per essere stata la prima volta ho ottenuto un buon risultato ..coltelli affilati e taglienti .la consiglio👍

Works pefetly well. It takes time to get your knives right but that's the nature of the job I'm afraid.

Ok, so I've been looking at getting one of these bad boys for months now. I wasn't scared of difficulty in using it, just wanted to make sure I got the correct one to start with. I've spent days (worth of hours) online checking reviews, YouTube videos and blogs, as there are lot of "beginner" options but also many videos saying "get this brand bro, worth investment" but honestly that one would have been more than my knives. I finally decided on Sharp Pebble for a few reasons. Price wise it's not a bad deal at all. I believe you should get a decent quality product, even if you have cheap knives. It comes with a little support in case you are new to this and don't know the angle you should be sharpening at. The Grit sides are possibly perfect for a beginner. After countless videos online I found 1000 to be the upper limit of "coarse" and 6000 to be a good middle options for sharpening. Unless your knives are completely blunt in which case you will need something like a 400, then a 1500-ish then a 6k, this is perfect for the occasional 2-3 week (even 4) sharpening. You can do a few quick slides on the 6k side every week on the most used knives (depending on usage) and once every 2-4 weeks give it a full run on both sides. Definitely recommend watching multiple videos from multiple channels on how to use these and sharpen your knives. Everyone has something slightly different to say/add that may be more relevant for your case, so absorb and use your head. Overall I'm incredibly happy with this product and will forever be the way I sharpen my knives.

Es muy fácil de usar, se obtienen resultados de afilado estupendos a la primera, recomiendo ver los vídeos primero para tener una ligera idea, el único pero es que la base no es demasiado firme pero aun así se puede actuar bien. La recomiendo. buena relación calidad precio
