Not as abrasive as I thought it would be. Cuts alit cleaner than diamond. I would recommend the 80 grit if you want to re profile at all.

Bernd F.Verified

My first uprgrade after being an Edge Pro user for 13 years. Just amazing build quality, heavy, zero wobble. Amazing stuff and I have no clue how they do it for this price. It is compact, clamps work really well and it is just a joy to use. Two minor things: there is just some slight and varying resistance in how the stone holder moves in and out. Gives you a little less feedback on what the stone is doing on the steel. Probably just a matter of break-in. As with all clamp systems: to really...

It’s perfect. A excelent and precision case for stones. Has ventilation in 2 sides, use magnetic to close. I love it

I sharpened an older knife with 440C steel that before now, could only get a fair edge , but now with a Hapston RS system, the Venev Ursa stone, and the leather strop with stroppy stuff, I got that blade so sharp that when I held it up to the light to inspect the edge, "The shadow of the blade cut off two table legs". Seriously, the Venev stones worked great along with the 650 and 1100 grit stones that I recently purchased from Gritomatic. I did get a polished edge that sliced smoothly through c...

I installed a grommet on each end for hanging on the wall. Makes it easy to see and organize my sharpening stones.

So far so good. I have only done 3 knives so far. Pretty big upgrade from the KME I have had the last few years.

Stephen H.Verified

Stones are without flaw and work beautifully, all my blades are razor sharp with these and my Tsprof K03. I have the 8 stone set and the 10000 stone leaves my edges with a mirror finish.

Daniel T.Verified

They work great! Slower to sharpen than diamond stones. But they seem to last much longer. In retrospect, I could have just bought the 5-stone set, that would have been plenty. I usually skip every other grit when using these.

I have owned more sharpening systems than I care to admit. I bought the Jende Jigs because of its all stainless build and the clamping system. I have found the Jigs to be the easiest and fastest way to get a real sharp edge on my knives. If I could only have one system the Jende Jigs would be it for the following reasons. Pros: All Stainless (lifetime build quality) Super secure clamping system Easy to see what you’re doing, especially at the tip Easy to dial in an exact angle Very quick to ...

After months of research I decided on the Hapstone RS. It's very well built, professional looking and easy to assemble and use. Its a great design. I'm really enjoying it and glad I have it.

Love the versatility of this unit. With my angle cube, I can get to within 1/10 of a degree and use whatever grit I want. Fantastic!!!

Joe N.Verified

These came in the 3D printed case, which is kind of cool. I may have missed that I thought they said that they were diamond impregnated but I am not sure cannot really see any light reflections when I move them around! And I did try to use them to polish a blade and I did not really see any improvement from the 1,000 get. There was not really a prescription anywhere on your dramatic site that said 100% if they weren't impregnated it's just the way that they labeled it may be think that they wher...

This case is a high quality product. I can store my abrasive stones in a way that they don't cross contaminate each other, and I can zit it closed to keep out random dust.

Really like how it will turn a full 360 as opposed to the 180 factory. Wide to support a variety of sizes and shapes. Only thing I see it needs is some rubber pads inside clamps

My first experience with bonded diamonds. I am extremely happy with the performance of this stone. Cuts well, great feedback, even sounds good. I will be filling out the coarser grades of my progression with these. Thanks for producing a superior product for these very hard to cut super steels.

These clamps are great - highly recommend. They dont flex and fit my Toohr perfectly so that there is no shifting as I sharpen, and the angle stays the same as I flip the clamp assembly over. Also Gritomatic customer service is really good!

Kadet Whole Milled Clamps

John M.Verified

I’m a newbie knife sharpener. I slapped the Venev stones on my new TSPROF Kadet Pro and went through the various grits. Wow, they are smooth with great feel / feedback. I got a great mirror finish on my kitchen bunka and Spidy Para3. I can’t believe how easy it all was (Ok, I did watch around 50 sharpening videos to learn what guided systems are all about). I actually started out with big diamonds stones to do freehand sharpening. That really takes skill and patience. I ruined a kitchen knife bu...

Venev Centaur Series Dual Side Diamond (3)Stone Set [6" x 1"]◽

Philip Y.Verified

This one was a last chance for a "ceramic" knife sharpening. I was ready to toss that blade in the trash as I couldn't even get it to cut paper. It not only worked, but even exceeded my expectations. This stone got it "kitchen sharp" and with only a few strokes per side. Not quite razor sharp, but edge bites into my thumbnail and pull slices phonebook paper smooooooothly.

Venev Orion Series Diamond [6" x 1"]

Walter S.Verified

A giant step up from my apex edge-pro because it holds the blade securely. My edge-pro stones fit correctly. Some care is necessary to center the blade in the clamps if there is no flat area for the clamp to rest on. Otherwise, solid and very easy to use.

Hapstone RS Knife Sharpener

Robert B.Verified

This is really great honing oil! I've been using on my Atoma and Sharpal plates and it really does make them cut better. It improves the feel as well. A quick wipe and all the removed metal comes right off. I've got some resin-bonded diamond stones on the way so I'll try this stuff on them as well. Really good stuff, and a very small amount is all it takes.

Stroppy Stuff Honing Oil

Daniel T.Verified

This is much more comfortable than the original stone holder, without the wooden ball grip. Adjusts to fit 4”-6” stones. Fits the Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust rod perfectly. I only wish that this had been available before I purchased the other stone holder.

Advanced Stone Holder with Linear Bearing for Hapstone RS and Work Sharp PPA

Charlie M.Verified

New to bonded diamonds. This stone provides great feedback and cuts like a dream. Love it. Will be getting more to fill out the finer grades of my progression. Was a little surprised to see how thin the stone actually is. I guess if they don’t really need lapped, not a big deal.

Venev Orion Series Diamond [6" x 1"]

Jefferson H.Verified

Excellent stones for pocket knives, or recurved blades. The stone is a little more scratchy than the resin bonded 1200f, so if you have the Venev resin bonded stones, you can follow up with them, if you want a total mirror. Personally, I don't mind the scratches, as the stones bring up incredible sharpness on my blades. Also, these stones have a slight radius to them, but that doesn't bother anything when sharpening and it really helps on recurves. So far, I've used them on rex45 elmax aeb-l p...

I love the way these stones cut and the consistency in scratch pattern. I’m using them on a TSProf KO3 and on a stone holder for freehand sharpening of mostly powder steels.

Glenn J.Verified

The stones are exactly what I was looking for, and expected. They are actually pretty nice. For the price I wasn't expecting a lot but they are pretty nice. I've used them with my Toohr #3 to sharpen 3 knives so far. They cut quick and well, the final grit could be finer but they work as expected.

TSProf Diamond Plate Stone Set [6" x 1"]

Frederick E.Verified

Great stones. The coarse 150 grit cut aggressivly with no large gouges in the bevel that take so long to get out. By the time you get to 1000 grit it’s almost a polished bevel and a strop with diamond tape gives me a beautiful polished edge that’s very aggressive.

After researching all available fixed angle sharpeners I decided on the Jende Jigs 2.0. The unit is high quality stainless steel and came excellently packaged. I have sharpened several knives of various blade shapes and sizes. I expect no issues clamping any knife. The clamps are fully adjustable and use a through bolt and proprietary cone shaped nut that squeezes the clamp from both sides. This is a superior design in my view. As a result more finesse is needed to position a blade and snug a cl...

Jende JIGS 2.0 Knife Sharpener

Don M.Verified

This aftermarket clamp solves a lot of the issues that the stock WSP clamp suffers from. Not only do you have two points of contact and a wider stance for long blades, the clamps allow broad blades to sit deeper within the clamps. This is a major improvement over the original stock clamp. Flex is recused greatly and the clamps really lock the blade down securely. My only criticism is the somewhat high price tag but I think it's worth it.

I really, really like these stones. I have tried different stone sets that are more expensive, and a few cheaper ones, these fit me best. While I give the stones a five star rating, I also have to give Gritomatic five stars. Fast shipping, knowledgeable staff, great prices, and very helpful with anything you may have questions about. I made the mistake of buying somewhere else once. Once. Don't make my mistake, buy from Gritomatic where you can ask questions and they will help you out without...

Great results from this combination stone. On both my s90v and rex121. Razor sharp and strop after 800 was crisp. I ended up skipping my polish cause i was working the blades anyways. Dual stones are very nice for an every other day touch up when working the blade every day.

Patrick L.Verified

This is a really great stone, it is very good quality and should last a very long time. I wasn't sure that an 8000 grit stone was going to make a noticeable difference but it really does. It gets the edge ridiculously sharp.

These seem to be very well made, easy to use and the holder/tray that comes with the set is very handy to store the tools, clamps and whatever you need to be at hand when at the sharpening bench.

Hex Screwdrivers Set on Holder

It's the best guided system that I have tried so far. Took my edges over the top. So far so good. If your mainly doing pocket knives get the adapter so you can mount clamps side by side, or get the center clamp.

Amazing Knife Sharpener. Coming from a Hapstone R2 Sharpener there is just a control I didn't have before that I now have with this sharpener. Highly Recommended!! Also I would recommend the K03 single clamp accessory. makes life so much easier when doing smaller pocket knives under 3 inches.

I like mine very well they keep all my stones separated. They never let the stones touch each other. They look really nice setting on my sharpening table. I would definitely buy one again. They are well vented for the stones to dry that I use water with I like them I already have five they’re sure a lot better than the plastic ones

Plywood Storage Case for 6" Stones

Geoffrey L.Verified

This product is a "step up" from those included in the basic set that comes with TSPROF jigs, which are great for getting started but tend to degrade more quickly with hard use. I highly recommend, but be careful with the coarse grits as they cut aggressively and should be reserved for reprofiling.

Greg L.Verified

Perfect size for my 6” Edge Pro style stones. Made of lightweight wood not plastic is a huge plus in Florida due to the humidity. Also they are ventilated which is another great feature to reduce retention of moisture. I purchased 2 and may buy a third after I decide on the storage setup I want for different styles, grit/micron size and brand of stones. These boxes are a great value and I highly recommend them.

I have purchased many sets of diamond stones and the Diamond Matrix stones are by far my favorite. They are easy to work with and they cut well. And as you progress you finish with a mirror polish. They are well worth the price.
