S SATCDiamond Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 400/1000 Diamond Plate Honing Stone 8-inch Hone Sharpener White

This diamond plate is great for what it is. It's strictly for profiling. Don't need to be anything special but it works great for profiling. I also bought the sharpal double sided plate. This works just as well as that one. I just use this one to preserve the more expensive one.I will be buying another one of these soon just to have for when this one wears out. They are cheap yet good.It is good and solid. Has a very nice weight to it. It doesn't fit in my current stone holder so I ordered a new one. I'm sure it'll work great.Most other cheap stones like this are paper thin and bend. This one is thick and flat. Just great overall.I'm not a fan of the pattern on the plate but it doesn't effect the way it works.Either way I will buy Another and I suggest you do to.

Decent beginner stone that doesn't break the bank. This was the first diamond stone that I bought when getting into sharpening and it served me pretty well. I'm no expert but this stone was inexpensive and worlds better than those terrible aluminum oxide sharpening stones for sure. It was decently flat, the course side worked well for getting big nicks out or resetting the edge angle, the fine side gets the edge pretty sharp on it's own but paired with a leather strop I got all the knives in my kitchen shaving razor sharp. Eventually it does seem like the diamond surface starts to actually smooth down after lots of use, I'm guessing this just comes with the territory with cheaper made stones and I just upgraded to a Sharpal stone which is considerably more expensive but hopefully will last longer as well. Overall would recommend for someone getting into sharpening for sure.

Great stone to learn on. Coarse on one side, fine on the other. With a little YouTube training, I was sharpening paper cutting sharp. I added a strope and the stone holder. The stone holder is by these same folks. It works great. I am set for a long time with this set up.

Stone arrived in great shape, perfectly flat with no imperfections noted. A little course to start, but after an initial conditioning (rubbed with steel block I had around to remove stray grit) it glides like a dream. This is my first diamond stone and I love it, much simpler process than the stones and sharpeners i had used before. 400 is high material take off, took no time to get a very chipped and damaged cheap kitchen knife down to a working edge. Even used it to sharpen my metal dustpan for sh*ts and giggles, after 12 passes I could chop fruit with with it, and now it is perfectly flush with the floor, so it was a breeze to clean up the fruit ninja aftermath.Stone is nice and solid doesn’t move around when you’re sharpening on most surfaces1000 side is very efficient as well, but also fine enough to get pocket and good condition kitchen knive’s razor sharp.I used both of them with periodic splashes of water to keep the surface moist, which you absolute need to do in some way! I have yet to try with actual honing solution though. Honestly probably won’t ever, my knives are and tools are all work-focused so I don’t see a need for anything additional with how this performs with just water. With just this and a leather strop you could sharpen a baked potato into a deadly weapon. Strop is definitely very necessary for a useable finish here, but was able to get an even, near mirror-finish edge on my camping knife.Short version: great value, gets the job done very quickly and cleanly . Good stone for most things you would need to sharpen. No complaints at all.

good stone for the price. It's level and sharpens well.

Looks like a decent stone, but had a non-removable blemish on the 600 grit side. I tried acetone, alcohol, and glass cleaner, but under a microscope, it looks like rusted gouge. And it hangs up the knife blade if I try to sharpen. Awaiting replacement.UPDATE: The replacement stone is in perfect condition. This is a good stone for establishing a rough apex. (You can use either side for that, though it's a bit faster on the 150 side.) The first one took over a month to arrive. The replacement took about a week.
