    By Spider Monkey HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
    It pays to start off by saying that a sharp tool or knife is markedly safer to use than a blunt tool, which often requires more force to cut and has the inherent risk of slippage and injury. That is where a decent sharpening stone comes in and this stone is designed for use with a variety of tools (chisels, hatchets and knives to name a few) and whilst you can use also this to sharpen kitchen knives, there are other sharpening devices out there which will give you a better finish for kitchenware. This has two sides, a coarse and a fine side which will allow you to remove nicks and chips on one side and then you can flip it over to sharpen the edge up to a finer degree. This comes in a box which can be fixed to a work bench for stability. This needs oil applying to it before use and there are specific oils you can purchase from DIY stores, although a good 3 in 1 will work as well, but not optimally. All in all this is a decent sharpening stone which, if used correctly and with practise, will keep your tools in optimum condition and which will help you keep safer when using sharp tools for your various DIY and hobby needs.

    Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

    Good for tools 2 May 2010
    This is a tool sharpening stone, and is good for that. I also use it for my knife (not kitchen ones though), which I want a better edge on. It is ok, but not as good as some other implements/stones. It is good for removing nicks and chips, but with axes etc a file may be useful.

    At home this is the only sharpening implement I have at the moment and it works fine (although I will no doubt get a file and knife sharpening block at some point).

    This is a decent sized oil sharpening stone, with a coarser side and a finer side, suitable for sharpening chisels and axes, but not really the thing for kitchen ware, as the stone leaves an oily, gritty residue which needs to be cleaned off afterwards and probably won't enhance the flavour of anything. It has two holes for fixing to a bench, although, for the purpose I bought it for (sharpening a hatchet) this was entirely unnecessary. You do need to oil it first. There doesn't seem to be a recommendation for oil in (limited) instructions, but 3-in-1 oil worked fine for me.

    Good piece of kit, and a must if you take sharp tools seriously. Many are sold in unsharpened condition (chisels and hatchets, for example), and all should be carefully maintained if they are to retain their usefulness.
