I ordered the Venev Orion stone set and they fit perfectly with room for my kangaroo strop, Arkansas Translucent for my carbon steel blades and a few diamond plates from TSProf.

Actually quite pleased with this purchase. The blanks are sized perfectly, fit and finish is exactly what I needed for my Work Sharp Precision Adjust Pro. I’ve already used them to lap my knives to a mirror bright finish and they work exactly as intended. Fair value for a good quality product. I’ll buy from this vendor again.

I've used quite a few diamond stones (both resin bonded and electroplated) over the years and these Venev Orion stones are at the top of the food chain. The set of six are all within .010" total of each other in thickness, which makes it very ice when going from one stone to the next in a guided sharpener like the Hapstone RS or R2. No need to adjust for a changing angle. The range from 80 grit to 1200 grit (FEPA) is enough to go from reprofiling a knife to a near mirror edge. So far I've ...

Everything you need to keep your stones dead flat. The reverse side is great for gauging the straightness or flatness of any project piece. I use mine to sand acoustic guitar saddles perfectly flat on the bottom.

Ordered. These roll bags for my sharpening stones , fit and finish are functionally acceptable, like the ability to move them around and keep them in order when on the work surface.. they are padded to protect the stones and should last a long while., the hack ….I did was to re purpose the plastic clam shell of the ordered stones and trim them to fit each pocket and use the clam shell as a tray to have the clam shell and stone slide in and out of each pocket., so ….if you only slide the stone in...

I learned of this product by way of the utubers. Yea, this stuff works very well, much better than that "green stuff". Got one of my edc knives sooo sharp you could "shave" a layer of skin off my finger and not feel it.

Works great. Grips up to 4mm thick blades. The grip is good, but could benefit with thin rubber strips to help grip tighter, so I may try some small strips of electrical tape. Overall, it's worth the money.

Michael O.Verified

This is a follow-up review to an initial impressions review I left a few days ago. First, Gritomatic was great to deal with! I got the RS Black on sale and dealing with the company on the phone was great. Shipping was fast too! As for the sharpener, I like it. It's well made, and so far seems to work well. It's a bit difficult to match the angle on both sides, but the difference is typically within .1 or .2, which I guess is not bad. My only gripe so far is that the Black package isn't wor...

I came close to adapting an old cigar box for my stones, but then I figured, you know, I’ve got a lot of money invested in these stones, might as well give them a good home. So I got the nine stone box, enough for 6 to 8 good stones and a leather strope. They have the little 45° cut, so you can put your stones in there that have the angled tips. I like the magnet closure on the box, but it is pretty cheap wood, snd I don’t like the finish—much too dark. Maybe add a fun bright Gritty logo on ...

I tried it without the stand first and didn't care for having to use a clamp to hold it. Bought the stand and was very pleased how it stabilized the unit. Shipping was excellent. Highly recommend the stand.

As you can see the picture it just came packaged in a little cardboard box that has dividers, but overall not a bad design I've been using to keep them separated and it seems to be working fine. You do need to add some type of lubrication everything that I saw on YouTube or read on some forum just suggested water so that's what I did. Had a message a great factory edge that was just a little uneven so I used the 600 grit to even it out and did a polish with the thousand and was presently impress...

Beautiful Stone. This is not your daddy’s sic oil stone….no these stones are more like japanese waterstones. I guess it’s the binder, I dunno if its resin or what, but its solid, its not like old school sic stones that are very porous. It sharpens as a splash n go stone. Ive never seen a cheap sic stone over like 800 grit, and this 2500 grit one is just amazing and its perfect for hard, super steels. Except for maybe rex 121 and maxamet, it will sharpen all your k390’s and 10v. But use...

If you like the stock Edge Pro stones, you will love these. I got the 5 stone set and added a 600 grit to bridge the gap.. Even on D2 blades I am getting excellent results. And they are twice as thick as the stock Edge Pro stones, and about the same cost. Amazing service and fast shipping from Gritomatic too. Thank you!

I had been reading and comparing information and reviews from many knife users, from work sharp to wicked sharp. The two on top of my list were the TSProf KO3 pro and the Hap stone RS Black. I decided the Hap stone RS Black with its versatility for stones, compact design and attention to detail and quality would fit my needs the best. Please forgive me, I cant recall who I spoke with, They were very friendly and happy to answer questions and give me a recommendation for what I would find mos...

I have the whole set of the Venev Archer Series Metallic Stones and i really like them. I also have the Poltova Metallic Stones from Ukraine, but I like the Venev better. It's a subtle difference, but to me the Venev edges them out... If i compare the Venev Metallic to the Venev Resin Stones, the Metallic stones are slightly more scratchy, but they give a sharper and more crisp edge. Imo Hope this helps.. Jeff

Robert B.Verified

Very good stuff! It's a bit thicker in consistency that any other emulsion I've used and tends to leave a heavier coat. But it cuts extremely well and very quickly! I like the edge is leaves behind, polished yet 'bitey.' So far I like it although for the prices I'd probably go with StroppyStuff instead. Still, it's excellent emulsion and if you like a bit thicker solution it's outstanding.

The Kadet pro is “ gorgeous “! I used to work in a machine shop and the attention to detail is incredible! I’ve been freehanding for 30 yrs and thought I’d try going to the next level, wow it was so easy and so much faster with the venev diamonds! I used to sharpen to relax, but now I’m going to need to by more knifes to sharpen !!! Special thanks to Chris at Gritomatic for answering all my questions!

Lee P.Verified

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 ...

For the price this is the system to get! I've watched reviews and heard some nitpicks don't pay attention. No brainer, for the $$ buy this. I've sharpened 400 plus knives on mine, it's been down through there. I'll recommend every time.

These clamps rank right up there at the top as some of the best there is. Obviously, it depends on the size of the knife and other factors. I also want to give thanks to Gritomatic especially CHRIS, in the young lady that works there. I’ve had a couple bad experiences with some products, and was really upset, I just wanted to acknowledge these Individuals because I know it’s not easy dealing with people who are upset, they’re very professional and knowledgeable, also if they DONT KNOW, they wil...

All most perfect, has some design flaws. The parking unit as TSprof calls it is all but worthless, it barely engages and it strikes the hinge unit at times, so I remove it. I will design my own. You can't sharping a fillet knife at 12 degree or anything else as far as that goes, the stone will strike the rotation lever. As my photos show. Fillet knifes sharping 12-15 degree normally. The lever should have been under side, just my opinion though. Plus they should have included 2 G1 limiters and a...

Jason U.Verified

I don't have anything to compare it to because it's my first lapping powder, but it's powder, seems like the grit labeled and performed about how I expected. I used it to lap metallic bonded cbn stones and I wish it broke down slower and cut faster but that's the nature of silicone carbide and if it were tougher it might wear down the cbn you're trying to expose. You can buy SiC powder for rock tumblers that's a better value and I'm sure it's nowhere near the consistent grain size of this purpos...

Nice and inexpensive but a little small for 6 inch edge pro style stones. I bought this specifically because it's compact for storage but it's a little smaller than I'd like. I guess I didn't account for how large my figure eight movements get when I'm bored after 10 minutes of careful stone flattening. I think this would be fantastic for 4 inch KME format stones or for people who are slow and methodical in their lapping, but I found myself wishing it were 2 inches wider and longer. Still perfec...

Coming from a KME which I’ve used for 6-7 years. While it has served me well over the years and has accounted for many successful sharpening sessions I felt it was time to explore other opportunities. Have used the new Hapstone RS twice now. While coming from the KME it felt a little awkward at first I quickly settled in and began getting excellent results with it and the three stone Venev set. Very happy so far!

Great bag for holding 6 of your 1 x 6 stones in the shop or if your on the move to sharpen knives at a farmers market. Does a very good job at protecting the stones and rolling up into a easy carry pouch. I do wish they made a pouch that could hold 10 or 12 stones.

Aaron H.Verified

Absolutely a must upgrade to the Work Sharp precision knife sharpener. The knife clamp allows a wider range of knife sizes big and small. The 6 inch stone holder allows you to get your own diamond stones instead of having to buy a new set of Work Sharp stones. The wedge holds the knife clamp in place so you can sharpen knives without much movement improving consistent knife angles.

I've had other Venev stones before, so grabbing this set for my newly purchased Hapstone RS was a no brainer. I highly recommend these diamond water stones, just be sure to reference the handy grit chart on this site when deciding on your progression. These stones leave an effortless shine at the higher grits, and the diamonds cut well.

This stone does a good job as far and the grit goes. However, I need more information about the care and maintenance for cleaning and when to know when the stone has lost its usefulness that is not in the product description. I plant to buy a lower grit in order to modify the knife to facilitate modifying and sharpening with one inch stones.

Love it as a final stone before stropping. I had other Venev Orions which are badly bent but this one is perfectly levelled. No odd inclusions. Built quality is of course still light years from the EP Matrix stones of which I own three but therefore you get about double the thickness and it does the job perfectly well.

This is a very coarse stone, a must have for Reprofiling. This stone is pretty heavy too , which helps with cutting. I Recently ordered the 120 grit. To help my Transition from this 80 grit to the Venev F80 grit . Which i think will fill the gap perfectly. Im impressed with the build quality too ! Thanks Gritomatic and Jende for selling a product that works great !

I actually didn't buy this for its intended purpose. I bought it to hold 6" EdgePro stones while flattening on a lapping plate. The stones are so thin that it's hard to hold the stones while flattening. But, you can pop the stone into this tool and then hold the tool while flattening. Makes it much easier to flatten.
