SHARPAL 196N 2 Pack 4-in-1 Whetstone Knife Sharpening Aid for Sharpening Knives by Whetstone for Angle 14 Degree , 17 Degree , 20 Degree , 25 Degree , Black,orange

Different grips under the guides, one has rubber one has a magnet…excellent thinking !! Sharpal have really impressed me with some of my recent purchases. Beware that the angles are correct but your knife has its own angle….this means that the degrees on the guide might not really equate to true measurements, but this does not matter as long as you repeat the process enough and write down the angle you used for each edge. Worth buying but you do get them with some sharpal products. Good guides especially if you are happy to sharpen edge leading.

These little plastic widgets may not seem very important but bear with me. Sharpening anything on a stone or diamond plate requires a consistent angle. These widgets give you a good start, 14, 17, 20 and 25 degrees, place the blade flat on the angled face and you have the desired angle for your edge. The trick then is to keep the angle throughout the stroke. I have found them useful and I am getting a good sharp edge consistently now. I think they are worth it for the money. One has a magnet to keep it in place the other a small rubber foot.

Having a whetstone, it takes a while to actually manage to properly (or even improperly) sharpen a knife, so I got this to help in getting the right angle. I use it to begin with to make sure I'm in the right ball park, then use my thumb to keep to a similar angle. Gives a bit of confidence. Simple bit of kit. Still need some practice at sharpening the tip, and it doesn't help that much for that but still useful

Japanese knives, can be a pain to get them right, but I have a gizmo that does an almost perfect job, its jsut the wester knives i struggle with. This little gizmo, definitely helps, train you in getting the angle right, on the sharpening stone. Good quality, and great value. Easy to use, and helps with the performance of the stone. Nice size too.

Work quite well for smaller knives but struggled to get a good finish on the larger chef’s knives.

As a complete novice I found these useful to learn the right angle to hold a knife against the whetstone. Once you get the muscle memory you probably won’t need them again and the rubber based one does slip on the wet whetstone.

Clever little gadget. It does rely on your knives being a regular shape to work best. My straight razor is slightly curved which makes things a bit awkward but it still helps with my angle consistency.

This helps so much in setting up a blade at the right angle

Fait de légères griffures sur la lame

Comme je n'arrivais pas à trouver le bon angle sur mon fusil , et de ce fait abimais le fil de mes couteaux.Je me suis fais ce petit outil ....... et c'est super efficace.2 petites planchettes bois (couvre joint) et double face pour coller .Celui là est à 20° pour mes couteaux de cuisine français (Sabatier et Bourgoin).J'en ai commandé une 2ième paire pour faire un autre outil à 17° pour mon japonais .Le défaut de mon système ,c'est qu'il faut un jeu pour chaque angles .Ou il faudrait décoller à chaque fois. Mais bon à 9€ la paire ............Pour ceux que ça intéresse pour se servir de cet outil :- tenir le fusil contre soi et un point fixe (mur , coin de porte, ...) pour avoir les mains libres .- venir appuyé l'outil sur le fusil (le mien est conçu pour droitier)- de la main droite appliquer la lame et commencer à affilerOui oui, les experts du fusil n'auront pas besoin d'un tel outil .........

Es fácil de usar seguro y genera buenos resultados

Begin je met zelf slijpen?Koop dit zetje, je ziet en weet dan meteen wat je aan het doen bent.Ik heb eerst een halfjaar lopen klooie.Zijn groot genoeg voor iedere steen of leer.

Ottimo prodotto istruzioni dettagliate, unico neo li preferivo un po più grandi su pietre larghe per appoggiare meglio la lama , il risultato dell affilatura è ottimo , per i neofiti ci vuole un po di pratica , altro punto a favore è la calamita per le pietre diamantate in più ci sono varie gradazioni per molti utensili da taglio. Lo consiglio da ottimi risultati.
