Professional Knife Sharpening Guide, Random Knife Sharpener Angle Guide, Sharpening Guide for Whetstone, Black(2 Pack)

Peerfect for learning the correct angle for knife sharpening when using whet stone

Different sizes of knives - different angles you will get. Even for standard Shef Knife blade - measured angle set was obtained 14 degr. For whom don't mind too much about correct angles of sharpenning.

Seems really simple but with a bigger knife the guide doesn't sit flush to the stone so the angle is wrong. Still worth it if you're not confident freehand. Worth measuring the actual angle it's sitting at and not relying on the angle they say.

I wasn't sure about getting these, as I was concerned that the white guide strip would be ground down by the stone. This had been mentioned in some reviews I'd read, however, I was pleasantly surprised, the white guide strip was in fact a hard ceramic material. I've now used the guides and successfully sharpened 3 knives so far, with great results, and it seems that the strip is completely unaffected. I'm using a pretty cheap stone, 1000/6000, so I guess that the make etc. could be a factor, I don't know, but they work for me and I would definitely recommend these, particularly for beginners like myself.

Tried sharpening knives on a whetstone before and messed up one of my knives. So didn't use the stone again.These things are a good idea but in practice they're absolutely awful.If you've got knives which blades are curved to a pointy tip then these things just won't work as part of the blade won't contact the whetstone unless you slide the clip off at an angle, which just causes the clip to scratch the whetstone and make a spine chilling scratch, like nails down a chalkboard. Also, I'm pretty sure you're not getting an even sharpen on the entire blade.Maybe I'm being stupid but I can't see how I can get an even angle on any of my knives which have a curved blade - there's no instructions on how this is achieved.If the blades on all your knives are straight then this would probably work well but if your knives are pointy then you'll see what I mean when you use it. You would only be sharpening the straight part of the blade and you'll mess up from where it curves to the tip.Instead, I got an idea of the angle I needed to sharpen with the clips on, I removed them then sharpened without the clips at that angle and managed to do it fine - I must have been using too shallow an angle previously.My recommendation - don't use these, just learn the appropriate angle and technique yourself.

Does a good job. My knives are sharper since I’ve been using this.

Quality is fine,ease of use is okBUT only really useable on BIG knives or cleavers.Wanted this for small paring type knives and it will not fit properlyAlso took a month to arrive,says UK (granted shipping is fubar during the pandemic)

Very limited in application
