Messermeister 7.5" x 3" x 1" 1000 & 3000 Grit Combination Sharpening Stone

3”x7.5” large enough for all knives. Others are too thin. 3” is perfect

Coarse 400

Fine 1000

Again, perfect to shape then polish.

The base is rubber, for table use or add the above sink holder.

No corners on quality cut here.

I like it

Very nice stones, only suggestion would be to have one of the two colors of the course stone a little lighter.

I bought this combination of water stones to bring an old chef and carving set out of semi-retirement and back into service. This knife set has been part of my commissary I take down whitewater rivers (think the Colorado River through Grand Canyon; the Salmon River in Idaho). As expected, the knives needed help from years of at times rough treatment. Now, after working their blades on the stones, these knives could double as razors, certainly in terms of their sharpness! I am very pleased.

I used to use an oil based stone and not so long ago a friend allowed me to use his water based stones. It made the work of sharpening my gear much easier and in general water is cheaper than oil! Also, the 4 different grits is great even though I doubt I'll be using the 400 grit unless someone asks me to sharpen something that obviously hasn't been taken care of but nice to have anyway!

Exactly the stones I wanted so purchase was easier to make with very good quality of stones.. Only wish the company would have a good quality base for it instead of after market or other brand. Hoever not a deal breaker at all just a comment
