There are so many gadgets for putting sharp edge on kitchen knives these days that it's often hard to pick a good one. In my experience, most of the "easy to use" approaches are easy because they don't do a very good job. When it comes down to it, if you want a really decent edge on a knife you should be using a whetstone.
This one is a reasonable choice, being very competitively priced, of a decent enough size to cope with an 8" cooks knife and offering two levels of coarseness to first get an edge and then really hone it sharp.
It's supplied with a plastic/rubber "foot" to stop it from slipping which is very useful as you've got to soak it in water for a few minutes before you use it. Simply hold it on the bottom of a basin full of water and once the bubbles have stopped, you're good to go. It's the slurry of water, grit and metal that gives a whetstone it's sharpening action so a good soak is essential. This does mean that it's a bit messier and more time consuming than other methods but it's worth it.
Sure there are coarser/finer/more expensive whetstones available and if you've got REALLY expensive knives you might benefit from them but if you've got a set of reasonable kitchen knives then this will do a good job of sharpening them. My "supermarkets own premium knives" sharpened up a treat using this stone and the edge was good enough that they stay sharp with a few occasional strokes along a steel so I leave the whetstone and it's wet, slushy paste for periodic reinstatement of the edge.
At this price, I can't think of anything I could usefully improve - for that it gets 5 stars.

I bought this product because I didn't want to spend £50 on a more expensive stone, this stone is good value and you get what you pay for. You can acheive a razor sharp edge if your technique is good. If you are looking for a really polished finish you are not going to get it with a 1000 grit, you will need a 3000 or higher I would guess.
Whether this product lasts 5 years + remains to be seen. At this price if it only lasts 5 I will be happy.

I've only used it once so far (to sharpen 5 knives) - the knives were Ikea middle of the range, but the stone did a great job on them since now they're actually sharper than they were when first bought. Having two sides is very useful and works well, the stone is solid (well, it's stone..) and the rubber base holds it still quite well. I would say it's worth the extra over the usual sharpeners, but you do have to put a bit of effort in as well.
