undefined review of Gunny Juice Poly Diamond Suspension [10 ml]◽ image 1 out of 3+2
David H.Verified
REALLY nice diamond spray! To be up front the only compound I’ve ever had experience with before this was the real generic green oxide stuff and Venev diamond paste in 3 and 1 micron (which I’ve read a lot of good reviews on and does do a nice job). The Venev I have loaded on a 2 sided firm leather strop and is free hand. This gunny juice I put on a Gritomatic leather strop mounted on an aluminum plate to use on my Edge Pro apex. So far I used it on my Maxamet Para 2 and super blue Delica and am...

undefined review of Spyderco Ceramic Stone [6" x 1"]◽ image 1 out of 1
David H.Verified
Typical excellent Spyderco quality. This thing is sooooooo smooth and puts such an amazingly high polished finish to your edge! I have the Spyderco sharpmaker and the optional UF rods for it so I already know what they’re capable of so that’s why I had to get this for my Edge Pro. I used this on my Maxamet Para 2 to put a screaming hair popping scat edge in and it didn’t disappoint! I used my edge pro diamond matrix stones up to 2300 grit (I don’t have their 4000 stone yet) and then hopped up to...

David H.Verified
VERY VERY nice stones with amazing feel and finish! These take very little pressure to do serious work even on extremely hard Maxamet. I don’t have the lower grit stones yet so I started the reprofile (set the bevel at 15° per side) with my TSProf diamond plates. Once I got to the medium grit range I started with my 650 diamond matrix and progressed to the 1100 and finally the 2300. The feel of these is so nice and they glide so smooth with just a dab of soapy water. They work very fast and lea...

Matthew C.Verified
I love this stone and I'm probably going to end up with a set of them. I got the 120 grit since the 60 was out of stock. I wanted something for fast material removal, and I wasn't disappointed. Seems more aggressive than my 80 grit EdgePro diamond matrix stone; this thing blasts through steel and throws big fluffy filings. Heavy compared to resin bonded. I'm impressed with the 3mm thick abrasive layer; should last a lifetime. So far I've tried it on CPM Cruwear, M390 and S90V; smooth fast materi...

Youngsoo K.Verified
mosquito is very stable and quick setting for sharpening. you can feel comfortable during sharpening stroke. But angleadjustment is a little uncomfortable because stone holder has not disitalinclinometer dock. Thanks to magnetic and inclinometer's nitch we can use it. but not satisfied. just excepting that , I am pleased with mosquito sharpener

David H.Verified
Really nice stone storage box! This looks much nicer than their stock photos. The fit and finish of this is extremely nice and it holds the stones very secure. I have several different brands and sizes (thickness) of 6” stones in it and it fit every single one of them. There’s very little wiggle room once they’re in the slots so they’re definitely not going to be banging around in it. I also really like the vents all along the sides so that if your stones are still a little damp when you put the...

Andrew W.Verified
The stones are I guess what you expect from Boride - well manufactured. Been using them a fair bit and the wear is comparable to other stones. I use Synol synthetic water miscible fluid to lubricate the stones - seems to work well and keep them clear. Happy so far - done 30 odd knives.

Turned my new mini Adamas into a silky smooth, drop shut knife. No more sticking. Best knife lube I have bought! I used it on my Contego build for the smoothest blade action I have yet. I wiped down Mcnees and it's better than new. I will never try another product again!

Well made and sturdy. All laser cut plywood finished in a brown green stain type material. Perfectly adequate for the 6” stones and prevents them from riding against each other. Spacing is good too - I can read the grit sides from in the box no problems.

Own the larger bench size CGSW stones and love them. Bought these smaller ones to use as pocket stones. Made a little case that can hold a few of them that I throw into my bag or pocket for when I'm on the go. Hopefully gritomatic gets restocked on the 20 and 10 micron as I'd love to grab those too.

undefined review of K03 Whole Milled Fillet Clamps (Set of 2) image 1 out of 1
N K.Verified
The 'K03 Whole Milled Fillet Clamps' are a worthwhile upgrade from the 'K03 whole milled clamps' that come stock with the K03 pro hunter. The fillet clamps open wide enough to sharpen every knife I own including my thickest butchers cleaver. The fillet clamps also have the ability to sharpen at shallower angles before the whetstones starts grinding aluminum away from the clamps. The original stock clamps are overkill unless you plan on sharpening the thickest of blades; thick machetes, sword...

undefined review of StroppyStuff Mono Diamond Suspension◽ image 1 out of 1
Christopher J.
Wanted to give this stuff a try since I heard it was good and it was a good bit cheaper than the next most popular brand (GJ). Was very pleasantly surprised! Dries quickly, color coded, cuts well. Brings up a polish very quickly going through the progression I purchased (4micron->1micron->0.25micron). Will definitely be buying more in the future. Only minor complaint though not a deal breaker is the spray nozzle. You end up wasting a good amount of compound spraying it from 30cm away per the...

Love the 40 micron edges this stone provides. Has a really nice bite to it. Sharpened a small section on an S35VN blade to show the edge you'll get off this stone, that being a satin finish and toothy. Being resin bonded, these produce a much nicer edge finish compared to plated diamonds in the same micron range but retain the same amount of bite. You won't regret getting these stones, just keep in mind they may need to be dressed with SiC powder to get the full sharpening potential from these....

Vu M.Verified
I'm a newbie; and, wanted to pick up knife sharpening as a new hobby. For over six months, I tried different systems and freehand with high quality splash and go stones, but, I was never able to hold a consistent angle. Got very mixed result. Decided to order the RS Black kit with Venev centaur stones. And this picture is of my over 15 year old Buck Alpha hunter knife. It was sharpened with other methods and freehand stones. got a decent edge but never could get the curved tip properly sharpe...

undefined review of KakBritva Wide Central Clamp Adapter for Hapstone R2 image 1 out of 3+2
Mitch M.Verified
So prior to this upgrade, I only had the Lite clamps for my R2, so I was unable to clamp shorter knives at all, and was pretty limited on how low of an edge angle I could achieve with the ones that were big enough to clamp. I got the Lite clamp extender adapters as well as the center KakBritva clamp one. I am very impressed in the clamp itself, but the addition would've been impossible without the GearConnect adapters. They are the highest quality 3D printed items I can recall ever seeing. 5/5 w...

With 4 stones, I was able to put a mirror polish on my ZT 0545 in magnacut, and the 4 inch Leading Edge stone holder is a 100% improvement over the stock KME stone holder.

It seems very well made. It is light. Holds 12 stones securely. I didn't thank the magnetic latch would work well but it has taken 1 fall off a lower shelf and still held. The only "problem " is you can fill it up fast

Great stones, Venev are well made quality stones. They’re pricey but they’ll last you a very long time and even after an insane amount of use you can easily freshen them up with some silicon carbide. Nice feedback while using and Leaves a nice starch pattern.

undefined review of Plywood Storage Cabinet for 6" Stones image 1 out of 1
Kevin C.Verified
I believe this to be the perfect storage container for my 1x6 stones, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it's enhanced my routine. After each use, I make it a point to wash my stones to remove any debris or particles that could potentially degrade their quality. I then hand dry them to minimize the risk of water spots or mineral deposits forming, which could affect their surface and smoothing properties. However, the vent holes at the top truly set this storage container apart. They allow ...

Lee H.Verified
The Gritomatic copper ball handle large for my TSPROF KO3 I have peripheral neuropathy in both hands it allows me to have a better purchase on the sharpening rod of my KO3. The small ball made my hands hurt from the beginning allowing me sometimes to stop after only 1-2 knives. Not a hit against TSProf, their machine is fantastic but to have the opportunity to customize for physical problems, gravy! Much appreciated. Lee H.

Jason U.Verified
This upgrade makes the Hapstone modular system feel like an entirely different ,and more precise system. Fast and easy to install. It makes super smooth fine tuning easy and best of all, it removes all wobble that the original metal rod has so everything is more tight and solid. It really does make it feel like a whole new higher quality system. The only negative I have noticed is that it seems to restrict the steepest angle you can set more than the original but still higher than you'd need for...

Jason U.Verified
The price is low enough that I justified adding it to my order for a few pair of small scissors I use for other hobbies and my wife's gazillion pair she has a grade school teacher. It was pretty awkward the first time I used it because I've never sharpened scissors, but after getting used to the non-knife-like angle and holding the module to stop the chattering that happens at scissor sharpening angles, it's pretty straight forward. Just remember to lay the entire non sharpened side flat on the ...

Richard T.Verified
A few years ago I saw a review of a guided knife sharpener. I could build one of those and I did. I bought the parts I could not make: a set of 6x1 boride stones, a stone holder, a leather strop, a stick of polishing compound and a digital angle device. My home built sharpener worked great. Hair shaving blades every time. Every one I knew brought me their knives. Two years and couple of hundred knives later I wanted a flipping blade holder to speed things up. That’s a part I can not build s...

Great stones. Use them mostly on my high vanadium steels (10V, 15V, M398, Maxamet, etc), but they work great on simpler steels as well like 14c28n or VG10. Seem to be very slow wearing as well compared to other resin bonded stuff I've tried.

Great little pocket versions of their resin bonded diamond stones and work just as well. Made a little mini sharpening base/case for these pocket versions as I'm no good sharpening holding the stone in my hand and it's a surprisingly useful setup. Wish the metal(?) plate the resin is bonded to were a little thinner since this is a pocket stone, but it's only a nitpick. Easy enough to throw in a bag or if you have large pants pockets when you're out and about. Makes sharpening on the go a breeze...
