Trend New Diamond Sharpening Stone Kit, 8 x 3 Inch Double Sided (300/1000 Grit) Bench Stone with Pouch, Cleaning Block & Non-Slip Mat, DWS/CP8/FC/A

I really like this "stone". The 300 side makes quick work if you have a tool that is a little off angle. The 1000 side provides a nice initial polish that I enhance with finer grit stones. The 300 side doubles as a flattning plate for my other stones as well.

I used other so called blade sharpeners with quite unsatisfactory results.

Pretty impressed!

Quality sharpening stone works great if you use it correctly

With this and a sharpening guide, I finally got may smoothing plane iron back to flat and nice and sharp. I got the 3” wide one so my widest blade could be run straight up and down with extra room. much nicer experience than the thin whetstone I was using . This thing is solid. I also got their special blue liquid, it helps. Much more pleasant to plane wood and not have to fight clogs every few strokes. Beyond that.. the shaving are great!

Good quality. Good price. Works as it should.

When my package arrived I noticed it was featherlight - not expected for a fairly heavy sharpening stone. Being very suspecious I filmed myself opening the package - to find ONLY the box the product should have been in(see the photo with the angular slit in it where I cut the package open). Note the product box is pretty banged up and broken open on the long seam. The STRANGEST part is that the package (Amazon bubble mailer) was completely sealed on all sides yet showed a mailing weight on the lable of 2.7 lbs! I tried to "return" the item but there was no option for this "empty box" situation so I got on the Help Bot and it understood my delemna and within minutes, a "replacement" stone was on its way to me. When the second package arrived on my front porch I picked it up and felt the expected weight this time but as I continued to pick it up the box, the product started to slide of bubble wrap package as one of the seals was failing. I also noted that manufacturer-supplied box looked a little beaten up and was open along the long side of the box (almost lost this one too) but all the materials were still in the box. Lesson learned... Amazon, please ship these in cardboard boxes, NOT bubble wrap (and the mfr could do better on their packaging as well). So, does it work? I purchased this to shapen my wood planes and chisels. I have only had a chance to sharpen 2 planes but they came out quite nicely. This item seems to provide quicker results than an oil stone so use caution for delicate items as it removes material quickly. It comes with "just an ok" protective cover bag (loose threads, poor sewing lines) but I won't likely use it anyway. So far, so good - more sharpeining coming. Now I need to go ensure I wasn't charged twice for this item :)

Good quality
