BearMoo Whetstone, Knife Sharpening Stone 3000/8000 Grit Combination Waterstone Sharpener- Rubber Stone Holder Included

I received this product free or discounted for my honest and unbiased review.The stone is well packaged (see attached photos) and is a good size 18cm x 6cm x 3cm and weight just over 500gr.I have to be honest that I have not used such a stone before. We had a different knife sharpener (which is not easy to use and not as good) and when I was offered to review this product, I was excited to try something different hoping that it will be better than what we had been using.I followed the instructions on the product description. It is important to soak the stone for at least 5 minutes. Then place it with its base on a thick towel so it doesn't slide. Now looking further on youtube there at least two different ways to sharpen the knifes. The Japanese and European. I actually tried the Japanese cause I found it easier to use.You will notice that there is a printed branding mark on top, which actually goes rather quick (10min of sharpening). After that the sharpening becomes more smooth on that side. However even with it on top, you will notice that your blades are getting sharper, it just produces a bit more dirt as you sharpen the blades. Maybe the company should move that print to the side instead of being on top of one of the sides.I used both sides. We had some blunt knives that we had stopped using and after running them for 15minutes on the 3000 side, the difference was immediate visible. I then run them for 10min on the 8000 side to give them a more refined result and make them even sharper. Overall I was very happy with the results and I cannot stress enough how much better this product is to what we had previously.The stone looks like it will last for several years. It is very solid and a good size and weight (at least for my hands and knives). It is easy to use and clean. It does as it promises. The price is right, especially if you think that it will actually last for several years.

in short; Despite my concerns and the price point, It works perfectly fine. You will need to practise and invest the time though.I personally spent a lot of time looking into various stones on here around the same price point to try and find one that works. I also spent a long time watching video comparisons and techniques on how to use them because I didn't want to buy and ruin an expensive stone if i wasn't able to get the techniques right. I was also concerned the grit counts aren't accurate, which i still 100% doubt, but it doesn't matter because once you have the technique down, these stones work.It took me multiple attempts to get it right, but once I did it was progressively easier each time I sharpened a knife. Are they as efficient / durable as a stone that costs 60-150 pounds per grit? no, of course not. But with this, the 400 - 1k stone and a leather strop also purchased via amazon, I've been able to bring every knife in my kitchen to razor sharp. Literally shaving sharp. (I now have lots of bald patches on my arms from testing).My one gripe with this stone is visible in the pictures. in the '8000' side there are three clumps of what I'm guessing is adhesive running through it, which causes the knife to skim over when sharpening, meaning i cannot really use the full length of the stone on that side. This has not impacted my ability to use it, but it is an annoyance and i'm hoping it will come out when I eventually 'flatten' the stones..

Better than average, worthwhile for occasional sharpening of knives etc.Don’t expect Shapton or King quality, it’s definitely behind those stones in quality, but still useful. For the money, it’s ok and I’ve used it as a middle stone between two King stones (didn’t want to pay lots for a middle stone).You’ll notice that when soaked it continually emits air bubbles, which says to me it’s not as tightly packed as other higher quality stones, when made. It does need soaking for longer than a King or Shapton stone (I have mainly King stones, with Shapton stones for final polishing).It is for sure softer and will wear quicker, but I guessed that would be the case, which is fine for what I need it for, which is gap filling in stone grades to speed things up.It’s a decent stone, worth the money, but I wouldn’t buy a whole set of them, nor have these as my only sharpening resource.I sharpen a lot of tools, frequently. If you’re someone who just wants to sharpen home/kitchen knives, I would choose this over your average B&Q type stones everyday of the week - it’s much better than those, but not it’s not a professional stone.I was quite surprised how flat it was out of the box- needed very little flattening on both sides. That said, there was a small imperfection (a lump) in the coarse side which needed removing - no big deal, and you should always flatten the stone - even brand new ones.I would also say the grading is reasonably accurate, the coarse side does feel around 2000grit. The 8000grit feels more like 5000/6000 - my King 6000grit is finer, and my Shapton stones of similar grade feel a country mile different. However, this does polish an edge quite well.HTH

This is a great stone for the price. It sure does the job if you know what you are doing. Comes with double rubber protection that serves as anti slide. I'm really happy with my product.

Wer kennt das Problem mit den stumpfen Messern in Küche und Haushalt nicht? Ewig quält man sich mit nicht mehr ausreichend scharfen Messern herum und das bei einem Gegenstand den man mehrmals am Tag benutzt. Ich persönlich war es Leid und habe mir deshalb zwei Schleifsteine zugelegt. Einen mit einer 400/1000 Körnung und ebendiesen mit einer 3000/8000 Körnung.Der Schleifstein kommmt schlicht und einfach in Luftpolsterfolie und einem Karton verpackt an. Neben dem Schleifstein an sich, welcher zum Schutz vor Ausbrüchen auf beiden Seiten mit einem Silikonhalter geschützt ist, befindet sich in der Packung eine kurze Anleitung zur Anwendung eines Schleifsteins. Die Anleitung - wenn auch nicht sehr ausführlich - ist soweit korrekt allerdings auch nicht in 100% korrektem Deutsch geschrieben.Anfängern würde ich dazu raten nicht nur auf diese Anleitung zu vertrauen sondern sich zur Informationsbeschaffung auch einschlägigen Suchmaschinen und Videoportalen zu widmen, da hier teils sehr gute Erklärungen bereit gehalten werden.Nun noch ein paar kurze Worte zum Schleifstein an sich: Er hat eine absolute plane Oberfläche und die Bindung des Steins würde ich eher als fest bezeichnen, wodurch sich die Abnutzung in Grenzen hält.Ich persönlich habe mit der Kombination aus diesen beiden Steinen auch jedes noch so stumpfe Messer wieder scharf bekommen. Für den alltäglichen Gebrauch reicht im Prinzip schon der 400/1000er Stein mit dem 3000/8000er Stein bekommt man aber auch Messer die eine hohe Schärfe benötigen z.B. Filetiermesser wieder richtig gut auf Schärfe. Für die Perfektionisten eignet sich abschließend noch das Abziehen auf einem Lederriemen.Der günstige Preis rundet das Gesamtpaket meiner Meinung nach gut ab. Der Stein ist also für alle geeignet die ihre Messer auf "Rasiermesserschärfe" bringen möchten aber trotzdem einen günstigen Preis suchen.

Je n'ai pas encore le bon coup de main, le résultat n'est pas encore extrêmement rasoir ni la finition extrêmement miroir, mais ça le fait. Avec de l'entrainement ... Faut sentir le bon angle.Pierre bien emballée, dans du papier bulle, dans un carton, dans un carton.

It is what it says, a great stone at a great price. And a speedy delivery too.
