Having had the Hapstone R2 for a couple years, I was looking for something a bit more portable. This RS system fits the bill. PROS: 1. very sturdily built. 2. quality throughout. 3. the clamps are quite good at holding a variety of knife shapes and sizes. (so far, I've done from 2" blades to 10" blades with no real problems.) 4. the magnet holding the ball end of the slide is quite strong. You would have to try hard to knock it off in use. CONS: 1. the base, although stable, could be a bit ...

Everything I thought and heard it would be. Great for long kitchen knives, eliminates the flexing. Happy with purchase. Great quality.

Would like to see better description in Gritomatic’s advertisement regarding this stone. You can not get a consistent angle with this stone on the KME unless you use all Atoma stones or purchase a stone compensator or angle guide. If you use this stone plus any other KME stone with it, your angle will be different because the Atoma stone is thicker than KME stones. I know Gritomatic’s website states it is compatible with the KME, but like I said, only if you use all Atoma stones or buy a stone ...

I always avoided using whetstones to sharpen knives because I know that I would not be able to find the right angle, or to keep a steady angle during the process. This device has given me the courage to try, and the ability to achieve some decent results with the prospect of further improvement with practice. So far I've only used it for a few hours on a couple of old knives and I'm pleased that the clamp does not scratch the blade. I use an Android "protractor" app on my phone to set the angl...

Good with hard binder, sheds very little abrasive and keeps everything relatively clean. This stone should last a good a while and puts on a nice toothy finish. Taking things to a higher grit is optional.

Because of the increase in length of this stone holder vs the original WSPPA magnetic holder, there is very limited range of movement if it is used as is. By adding an 1 1/2” screw to the end of the rod I found the range is improved to nearly that of the original. Overall though, nicely made sturdy unit.

This is a must have to keep your stones organized and safe. Very easy to install and remove your stones. I highly recommend this product!

Fast delivery. Well packaged. Great machining and quality. Manual good, especially since translated to English. Black 2024 package well thought out and upgraded very nicely. Well worth the money. One star off because unit shipped without a necessary thumb screw required for operation. Mistakes happen. But serious problem in that it took several emails and phone calls and over two weeks of waiting to get the replacement part to be able to actually use the unit. Way less than stellar customer serv...
TSProf Kadet PRO [BLACK] Knife Sharpener (2024)
Brett D.Verified
Functionally, this thing is great. The angles are spot on and I can sharpen just as precisely with this as I do with a fixed angle system. I actually prefer to use this just because it is a bit more zen and I do a better job with the tips with this than with a fixed angle system because you can point the tip down as you get near the end and always keep a perfect angle on the curved part and not slip the tip off the stone. Since it's plastic you can get it wet when spraying the stones and rins...

This is a wonderful little stone that cuts very fast. It would be nice, however, if the grit progression was such that I didn’t have to change two stones back and forth to go from 80 to 100 to 150 to 240. As it is, the 80 and 150 are on one stone and the 100 and the 240 are on another. Therefore, to make the small jumps in grit progression, I must change stones to accomplish that. A nitpick, to be sure, but it’s worth considering the change.

Game changer. Allows numerous clamping options that wouldn’t be possible without them. I consider them a must have and worth every penny.

This stop collar works very well. The spring gives it a cusioned slow down instead of a jarring hard stop.

Box was just right. I have another one that I also bought from you folks a couple years ago and I like it also.

It is a very solid and precise unit. The clamps it comes with are superb—but to be honest now that I’ve gotten the precision tower and ball bearing handle for my Hapstone RS I like it as much and for a much lower price all in. Gritomatic did a superb job putting it all together for my K03 and the heavy base accessory they suggested is fantastic The one thing I’d never change is buying from Gritomatic!!!

this is a must have when purchasing a Hapstone RS2. It's a real time saver when dialing in your desired angle.

Great looking box seems to be constructed well; Issue is that the slots is not wide enough for my 1/2 thick Arkansas Stones. The main reason I bought it. O WELL, I will find another use for it.

Der Messerschärfer erfüllt die gestellten Anforderungen und ist nach der Montage auf ein dickes Brett standsicher und frei von ungewollten Rutschbewegungen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis geht absolut in Ordnung, Auf beiden Seiten des Messers erreiche ich den gleichen Winkel, welches ich mit einem Goniometer überprüft habe. Ich besitze mehrere Messerschärfer und der modifizierte Toohr 3 schneidet im Vergleich sehr gut ab! Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Thüringen Hans Hillert

A good system but setting the angle is more tricky than they lead you to believe. The clamps grip well without a lot of trouble- the rod goes through a bearing that is super smooth-no lubricant needed. The whole system is very stable-Gritomatic just can’t be beat!

Dealing with Gritomatic was fine! It was easy to order the RS Black and, and I when I also included in my order an item that was already included in the kit, it was easy to get a refund before the order shipped. The young woman I spoke to on the phone was both helpful and friendly! The sharpener was delivered in just a few days (Georgia to New York State), with a weekend in between when I ordered it and when it arrived. As for the RS Black itself, I do like it and it's much better than the an...

This set cuts sharpening time in half. Finish off with a strop with gunny juice and you get a near mirrored edge.

Fantastic quality, my one complaint would be to add reinforcement to the plates so they don't bend when clamping full flat ground blades with the longer screw

Delivery was fairly quick. I used it for the first time today. I was sharpening a knife with a trailing point. The issue I encountered was that the clamp kept allowing the knife to slip after a few strokes with the sharpening stone. I tried spreading the clamps out a bit to see if that would correct the issue but it didn’t help. I think the clamps need a thin layer of silicon or cork that would prevent the blade from slipping within clamps. I also welcome any suggestions.

Bought this with along with a black arkansas. The ruby stone seems to be a finer grit than the black. Purchased to use with power custom series 1 hammer and sear jig. Fits and works perfectly for that application. Stone is flat and well lapped

Very solid, easy to adjust, just cannot use a thickness collar for different stones. Never used the stock rod but bought it because of reviews they wobble a bit. 4 stars because of cost, should be on all new models as an improvement at a small cost increase.
Rail Height Adjuster for Hapstone R2

Seems to work fine after finding application method on Youtube. All writing on tube is in Russian which I can't read. First try left soft coating on strop which deposited itself on my blade. Instruction from video said to melt with heat gun /hair dryer. Bingo! I can now feel the drag and scratches are going away. Only 4 for lack of application advise. Otherwise, great stuff.

Very happy with this one, super easy to apply and very little goes a long way. The wax base has teh advantage that it doesn't dry-out on the trop before it is properly distributed.

Great storage. Fit and finish is excellent. Grooved and allowed to accept the EdgePro style stones. Magnets to keep lid closed. Great hinges. All around a decent addition.

Seems to have trouble cutting high carbide steels like M4. I have seen other people on youtube use these stones on S110V, so I'm unsure if I am doing something incorrect. The stones themselves look very high quality.
