This 6" x 2.5" stone is made well and the size easily handles a 2.5 inch No.7 Jointer plane iron. The coarse and fine should be enough to handle most of your sharpening needs for under 50 dollars total. I use water to lubricate the stone and it works flawlessly. The rubber feet on the stand make use easy whether I am in the house at my desk or at the bench in the workshop.

I'm fanatical about keeping my knives sharp, and with a sharpening stone that doesn't develop a "belly" with time, this thing is great. All you need is something to hone a freshly sharpened knife, and you're right as rain!

Remember to NEVER use water on this thing while sharpening; just clean the diamond surface of metal, and you're good to go.

I've never sharpened a knife before until I started grinding my own meat. At that time I realized that every knife in my house was dull and it made my job extremely hard. Instead of purchasing new knives, I figured I would try the diamond stone. I'm so glad I did because this is so simple to use and every knife in my house is so sharp that I banned my wife from using some of them because she may be beautiful but she is truly a clutz. This is a tiny investment that made every knife better than when they were new. Don't be afraid of this purchase.

Purchased this as a gift but have one at home that I use. Best sharpener ever, safe spot to hold with thumb, much better for knifes than electric, just a few strokes and knife is sharp.

I bought this at Lowes and it works great. Mainly used it for my kitchen knives and it took only seconds for it to sharpen. But next time I'll definitely check amazon.com prices first since it's alot cheaper!

We purchased this this stone to replace a years old one that had simply worn out. We have good carbon steel knives that we keep sharp. This stone makes it easy.

The reviews were right on target- this sharpening stone is awesome. Comes with excellent, easy to read instructions. Worth every cent :) !

Good quality product. You have to know how to sharpen a knife, though, or you'll do more damage than good.

I've used it on several different things so far and have been very happy with it, sharpens quickly and very nicely.

This diamond stone works quite well. Better than I expected. In about a minute you can obtain a razer edge on hard steel blades.
