EXCELLENT PRODUCT!! This is the exact same whetstone as the DMT W6EP which sells for $17.00 LESS! he difference is the case. Thi one comes in a wooden box (which warped when I got it wet).

I've always kept the household knives pretty sharp, and it's always been a chore accomplishing that. Two or three times a year I'd drag out the old Carbarundum stone that's been in the family for decades and spend hours sharpening knives. This DMT whetstone puts this chore in a new dimension. Now each knife takes about three minutes and they all go back in the drawer with edges Jeffrey Dahmer would have envied. These things do not come cheap, but if you place much of a premium on your time and you want sharp cutlery, your money will be well spent.

I've long been a believer in a sharp knife edge. All a dull edge does is frustrate you. I purchased the DMT 6" Extra fine whetstone sharpener with the hardwood box. Now, all my knives, from personal carry to kitchen, have a surgical edge. The edge is obtained quickly simply by following the included directions. This stone should last a LONG time and I am happy I invested in it. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about obtaining the best edge on their blade they can.
