Honoson 6 Pcs Diamond Sharpening Hones Sets Color Coded Diamond Sharpening Stones Tools Flat Hand File Knife Set for Hunting, Outdoor

I use my expensive mandoline a lot (like hundreds of pounds of heavy root veggies), despite a healthy fear of its blade...which has accumulated a fair number of visible nicks and gotten dulled over the years. I finally gave in and started researching what to do about it, hoping that I wouldn't need to purchase a whole new one...I decided to give these a try, even though I was a little nervous about using them myself to sharpen the blade...and they worked great. It was easy and took only minutes to remove four or five major blade nicks with the middle file that were interfering with my ability to make my absolutely perfect scalloped potatoes. Then i finished sharpening the rest of the blade with the finest grit. Just a quick wash and my mandoline was ready to go, without cutting myself. It was easier to use than a traditional knife sharpener and useful in more situations. (I couldn't figure out how to use a traditional knife sharpener on my mandoline because I couldn't / didn't want to completely remove the blade.) The filing surface was well-adhered to the plastic base. I wish I didn't need to buy two sets given my limited need, although the price wasn't completely terrible, given the alternative was replacing my 60-70 dollar mandoline.

I got these to sharpen my Forstner bits, but they work with other things too. I can give chisels a quick touch up to keep them cutting cleanly, and actually use them on my lathe tools to keep an edge between grinding. I mark the edge with a Sharpie, then use the hones to eat away the marks and the tools are easier to use again. It only takes a few minutes and I don't have to grind as often.

Received TWO set of files (3 of each). Despite most of the bad review, I found them rather sturdy & easy to work with: the handle were rigid enough to withstand vigorous pressure: they're "diamond" files, thus one doesn't need to press hard during filing. I was able to sharpen my scissors, concave cutters and even hand pruners just fine with only 1 set (save the other set for later applications). Will definitely order more when I need it.

This set of files is perfect for resharpening router and fostner bits. I've used them a few times now and they seem like they will hold up a reasonable amount of time.

cheaply made and if left in the sun the glue degrades holding the blade to the handle - work well but poor construction

These are the best hand held sharpeners I have used in a very long time! I worked in construction for decades and used something similar to these but they have since gone missing. Nothing I know of more dangerous than a dull knife. Excellent!

Great tool, easy to use.

I use these to touch up my router bits.
