Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good system Comment: This is the first knife sharpening system I have used, but I am quite impressed. My knives were becoming quite dull and when I first got this, I ran my knives across the course grit many times, then to the medium, then to the fine. My knives were noticeably sharper, but not as sharp as I would have liked. I used my knives for a couple of weeks, then pulled this back out and sharpened again on the medium, then to fine. Now my knives were quite sharp. This system does appear to have a learning curve if you have never freehand sharpened a knife before. I do believe that once I get the hang of this system, it will be so worth the money. You can sharpen your knife at any angle you would like. The guide included in the system isn't very good. To use it, you leave the guide at one end, align the knife and then simulate cutting a thin slice off the stone. You don't want to use much pressure, but you do need to keep the knife at a consistent angle. I think I kept a much more consistent angle on the second go. I see many stones come with nothing but the stone. This has 3 stones held in a nice container that hold a good grip on the table. Rather than holding the stone with your fingers and either losing an inch or two of working area, you can use the entire 8" of cutting. I have a 10" chefs knife and I can sharpen it just fine on these stones. The manual says you can use either water or mineral oil with the stones. I have only tried the mineral oil that came with the stones and it works well. This product seems like a good deal over the larger version. The larger version is about 33% bigger, but it comes with a 150% bigger price tag. More Reviews
