3 Pieces Diamond Sharpening Stone Diamond Knife Sharpener Plate Honing Whetstone for Kitchen Sharpening Dull, Blunt or Tired Edges (1000/2000/ 3000 Grit)

Can’t complain for the price worked great

3000 Grit is the only one I use. It hasen't worn down. Puts a Nice Edge on the SS blade. Sharper then those spring action 'slide through' trendy sharpeners.Technique is all that is required, takes about 1 minute.With that said. It will SLIDE!I tried silicone pad, still slides. affixing this to a block was not why I bought it.I use this on the Edge Corner of my counter, as the handles of my blades are big.The 2000 and 1000 Grit, I personally could not tell the difference. But its great to have a Spare.

I was skeptical based on the price, but glad I took the risk. These work really well, put an edge on quickly and easy to clean after. I've had them for about three months and use them to sharpen my chisels and plane blades. Still going strong. Way cheaper than using sandpaper.

These plates are ok, but you have to use them on a hard surface as they are thin and flex a bit more than others.They also are not marked very well and after a few uses they will loose their grit markings. I went an engraved them on the back of the plate with the grit size.I would look for ones with a thicker backing.The width and length are adequate for plane sharpening

I was a little concerned about buying these because of the price. How good could they be for that price? Pretty darn good. Diamond hones are very aggressive. The diamonds are sharp and hard and they do not move. The result is material is removed quickly. Even as these high grind level gentle pressure is all that's needed. As far as flexing. I wouldn't worry about it. I mean don't try to bend them because they will bend and never be the same, but with normal use they work just fine. Just put them on a solid surface when in use. ... lets see where are those kitchen knives again....

I have put on the sharpest edge on my knifes ever with these diamond plates!

My only criticism is how thin they are. Not really a problem, but I personally like a little bit thicker plate.

I was looking for a diamond plate sharpener that was smooth instead of having cleaning depressions. I had a few smaller blades that would catch in those trenches and nick the very blade I was sharpening. I saw these and took a chance. On arrival they looked perfect. The plates were flat and looked uniform. However once I started sharpening I was in for a suprise. All 3 had a couple of diamonds larger than the rest. It could not be seen or even felt with my finger, but running a blade over the plate you could feel the slightest of ticks. Looking at the blade I couldn't really see much. But when slicing through thin paper there were now hiccups that hadn't existed before. It took me a while to figure it out. I own more than 100 knives and sharpen them myself. My community brings me their knives, kitchen to hunting, I've had a lot of practice. So it takes a bit to stump me. The thing about diamond sharpeners is they have to have excellent quality control so that ALL of the diamonds on the plate are the same. If only a couple larger size diamonds find their way onto a finer plate, that diamond will cut a line straight through your blade that's tiny. If you happen to be sharpening something like a chisel, then your chisel will leave a line. Or if you are super picky like me, you'll end up with a tick.Now if you are looking for a cheap sharpener for a knife you use to pick rocks out of your boot with, then this will be just fine. Sharpening a $10 kitchen knife, heck this might even improve it's cutting potential with added serations. I have a tackle box knife that still has a few ticks from that sharpener. The fish don't seem to mind. It took me a while to find all the high points, and I circled them with a sharpie. Now they sit in the shop and get used as very fine sanding blocks. They will never see anything that matters again!
