Stage 1 – Repair: For damaged or heavily worn edges. Removes material quickly to re-establish the primary bevel. Stage 2 – Sharpen: For routine maintenance and creating a working sharp edge on most household knives. Stage 3 – Hone: For refining the edge and improving cutting smoothness after sharpening. Stage 4 – Polish: For achieving a high-finish edge on blades that benefit from extra refinement. The numbers referenced (400/1000/3000/8000) are approximate grit equivalents based on commonly used industry standards. They indicate the relative fineness of each stage in the progression, not a guaranteed particle size. The actual cutting performance of each stone is also influenced by soaking time, surface maintenance, and the hardness of the steel being sharpened. No need to use oil, simply put the the stone into water for 10-15 minutes before use Easy to use, your choice for saving you from the sharpening oil Come with a basic non-slip rubber base, keep you safe while you’re using the stone to sharpening your knife With faster and higher pulp automatic sharpening performance Angle guide, helps you to keep the proper angle during sharpening Friendly to beginners and a quick user guide of all the tips for sharpening knives, also can be a great idea for household gifts Review: Best knife sharpener for beginners - Best knife sharpener for beginners.

Is there a way to get my hands on it or even download it? This was a birthday present and being told it is missing.** A: I don't really think a manual is needed, all you really need to know is to soak stones in water for around 15 mins, the lower number stone the rougher it is, so badly blunt knives start with the 400 then work up, use the guides which slide onto the back of the knife then that's pretty much it? **Q: Does it come with a storage box or just in a cheap cardboard box?** A: The original packaging is just a standard cardboard box, but given the price I paid and quality of the items I was more than happy to find my own container for storage. **Q: Is the angle guide set at 20° or has it got both 20° & 15° ?** A: Hello, the angle guide should help you to keep an angle that's at least 10° at sharpening. It really doesn't have a fixed angle, because even with an angle guide, the angle was still controlled by you. Also the blade of your knife should affect it too, if it's longer, the angle should be lower, if you see what I mean. It is really depend on you, you will learn to sharpening without the angle guide sooner than you think. **Q: Is this the set or just a stone** A: It's a set, with everything you need, including 2 honing guides for knives. I've been obtaining really good results. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best knife sharpener for beginners *by A***M on 24 June 2026* Best knife sharpener for beginners. Works we’re well.
