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...

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...

Daniel O.Verified

I used these stones with the 4" stone holder on my work sharp. This is my first experience with venev or any stones other than the work sharp stones. Was disappointed at first because the hight of the venev with 4" stone holder is different than the WS stones so I thought I was screwed, but I was able to raise the angle and still hit the entire edge and get a mirror polish with a screamin sharp edge. Wasn't the perfect scenario I imagined when I bought these but glad I was able make the proper a...

George T.Verified

I use my pocket knives for whittling and shaving wood several hours every week. I find that periodic passes with a series of progressively finer lapping tapes, maintains knife edges at razor sharpness, with minimal fuss and metal removal. In my experience, edges are sharper after using the tapes than after using stones. My standard progression for “heavy” touch-ups is 15 micron 3M Diamond tape followed by Edge Pro 2000 tape. For light touch-ups I skip the 15 Micron tape. Each tape normally ...

Hauke S.Verified

Works well with my Kadet pro and cheaper than the Tsprof version. I actually like it better. The only thing to remember is that it takes about an inch off your guide rod, die to the spring. It doesn’t matter to me, since I have the longer extension rod, than the regular length rod that comes with the Kadet pro.

Product came in packaged securely with no leaks and even has a small applicator tip to reach in hard to reach places, without wasting any material where you don't want it. The 15 ml bottle should last a long time as you don't need much to accomplish the lubrication. Very much pleased.

undefined review of Hapstone RS Knife Sharpener◽ image 1 out of 1

Eric S.Verified

The RS is a very well designed knife sharpener despite its compact size. The clamps are some of the best clamps I have used. I was skeptical about the magnetic attachment for the guide rod, but it holds very securely. The angle adjustment is easy with the macro and micro adjustment collars. The stone holder works very well and allows multiple size stone to be used. The only change I would make is the addition of a stop collar. I purchased one when I bought the RS and it works much better. ...

undefined review of StroppyStuff Mono Diamond Suspension [30 ml] image 1 out of 1

Finally decided to bite the bullet and try the expensive diamond emulsions after a couple bad experiences with cheap Amazon pastes and sprays. Did a little research and landed on 4micron as it seemed like the next logical grit after my 1000 grit diamond stone (Gritomatic set). I’m shocked at how fast and easy it was to use. The emulsion went on fairly evenly, I expected some thicker spots to appear, which were smoothed out using an old CC card. Did two light coats. Both of which dried in less ...

I really like these Hapstone stones and have turned out to be my favorite out of the Edge Pro Diamond and the Boride T2 sets. The Hapstones cut really fast and bring a polished finish and I have been able to get my best Bess scores when finished with the Hapstones. My best Bess score is 96.333 out of three separate tests. I ordered the 8000, 5000, 600, 240, 120, and 50 grit from Gritomatic and ordered the rest of the grit sizes directly from Hapstone. Just be sure to order from Hapstone USA as t...

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...

Atrophy stuff is amazing !! I love the colors it makes it easier to identify and not mix up the 9 micron is super strong I’ve been able to strop a dull blade back to sharp with it and the 1 micron is gives me that beautiful mirror polish I like can’t wait to get the rest of them !

undefined review of KakBritva Wide Central Clamp Adapter for Hapstone R2 image 1 out of 2

Jason U.

Update of first review, it doesn't look like I can edit it. It turns out that Hapstone has updated the R2 clamp bar to be thicker than it used to be without mentioning it. As a result the supplied bolts were several millimeters too short to work with the new thicker clamp bar. I got ahold of Gritomatic by phone and they sent some longer bolts that fixed the fitment issue so it's working as intended now. It turns out that they were short staffed from illness and the holiday rush and got a little ...

Matthew G.

I have been hand sharpening on stones with decent outcomes for quite some time. However, recently I sharpened my CRK Inkosi Tanto and I was a bit disappointed with the results. The Tanto edge was more convex than I would have preferred and I wasn’t regularly hitting the edge when stropping. I use this knife for chisel cuts in wood so I really want a clean, sharp edge. I was not pleased with my hand sharpening results. I decided I didn’t want to mess around anymore with my nice knives and possi...

Michael H.

I purchased the Kadet fillet clamps because the ones for the K03 were sold out. Well my luck, 2 days after I ordered them the fillet clamps for the K03 came back in stock. I thought about returning the ones for the Kadet, but changed my mind. I feel that with the TSPROF L brackets the clamps for the Kadet will be overall more versatile. Without the L bracket, the Kadet clamp sits back 3/4" from the K03 whole milled clamp, and with the bracked it is dead even with it. So just thinking about...

Hi everybody! I have some thoughts about these CBN stones that I believe you'll find to be helpful. First let me say thank you to gritomatic for making so many nice sharpening supplies available, including these stones. So here's my perspective. They fit a particular niche that I was looking for in that I needed non-magnetic stones to pair with my magnetized sharpening table, and secondly, I wanted stones that weren't messy (like water stones). So they fit the bill in those major elements ...

undefined review of All-Metal Universal Stone Holder for Professional Precision Adjust image 1 out of 1

Evan H.Verified

No problems with the quality of the Hapstone stone holder. Unfortunately, the rod included with the Professional Precision Adjust is too short to use the entire length of a 6" stone. This isn't really a problem so long as you mark each end of your stone, flip it every couple uses, and keep it flat. It is annoying. I hope Gritomatic will consider selling an extended rod for the PPA to accommodate the various aftermarket stone holders that can't use the entire length of a 6" stone.

Michael S.Verified

Decent system if you are just a hobbyist. After sharpening 3 knives I have noticed quite a few things I didn’t think of before making my purchase. First thing is the stone holder/guide rod…. It holds 6” stones which is nice but since the guide rod is so short you aren’t able to use the entire stone while keeping your angle consistent. Once you get a little more than halfway down the guide rod the stone holder shifts vertically the further down you go in turn changing your angle by as much as ...

Pro's: - Major stability upgrade over the stock PPA clamp - Can rotate in either direction, unlike the stock PPA clamp - Wide enough to firmly hold any knife up to 8". - Compatible with Hapstone's clamps available separately through Gritomatic Con's: - The included hex bolts are SOFT. I stripped the head on one (had to cut it out) and the other's threads were showing signs of wear.

I bought these two Hapstone semi-soft cases for my sets of 6” x 1” sharpening stones, when the only hard cases were plywood. These work better than I expected, and do protect the stones well. Each case holds 12 stones. There’s a convenient finger cut out to make it easy to select and return each stone as needed. This is a fair price for the quality of these cases.
