POWERTEC Sharpening Stone Holder – Adjustable Whetstone Stone Holder 5.5" to 9", Non-Slip Rubber Base for Secure Knives Sharpening for Kitchen w/knife Sharpener, Wet, Diamond Stone(71013)

I've used varieties of whet stones and have at least a half dozen. Something that I've always struggled with was securing the stone on a counter or table top. I've always used a wet washcloth. Yeah, it kind of worked, but I never really knew about these kinds of stone holders until watching some sharpening videos.This unit is very quickly adustable to practically any size that most of us will ever run into. It firmly grasps the stone. I have one stone that I was concerned might not work, since it's a relatively thin double sided diamond stone--about 1/4" thick. The holder still holds this stone properly without getting in the way of the blade during sharpening.If you use stones and haven't found a good holding system, this unit won't break the bank and you'll wonder how you ever went without it. Good construction, quality material, and non-slip.

The POWERTEC Sharpening Stone Holder is the ideal way to secure your sharpening stones so that you have both hands free during the process. It is much safer than trying to wield your straight razor, knife, or other sharp-edged tool with only one hand. The stone stays secured and doesn't move a lot with the rubber sections of the holder. Hubby definitely recommends the POWERTEC Sharpening Stone Holder!

Works well. Easy to adjust and easy to clean. Stays put while sharpening.

I bought two of these for my King waterstones.for sharpening chisels, plane irons etcThey are solid, and the rubber parts are good quality. They hold the stones securely. I use mine in an old aluminum cooking tray with some of the non-slip matting stuff underneath it. They do not skid about during use.The only reason they don't get 5 stars is that, by nature, using water stones is a wet operation, so the metal components get wet.I tend to be lazy and store the stone plus holder upside down in the stone pond.After a month I am seeing some small patches of rust, particularly on the nuts and threaded area. Does not affect operation, but looks a bit tacky.Personally I would pay a little more for stainless steel rods and nuts if they were available.Overall a good product.

I had some knives I tried sharpening with a 1000 grit stone with no success. They were just so dull that I couldn't establish an edge. I realized they needed a first pass on a coarser stone, so I ordered this. It turned out to be a sound and economical investment. The stone is of great qualiy, and the 400 grit side quickly put an edge on my dull knives. Of course one needs to follow this with a finer grit stone. I already had a 1000 grit stone, but it was so convenient to have 1000 grit available with just a flip of this stone. And the package included a nice holder, which I can use with my other stones. This has turned out to be one of my best investments. All this at a very affordable price.

This worked very well in flattening several large water stones.

I hand sharpen my knives, planer blades, and chisels using whet stones. I have four of these holders and find them extremely useful. They hold the stones well and do not slip as I am sharpening. The three I purchased before this have held up for several years and are still as good a new.

I love this little holder, I can’t see spending over $100 for a glass holder for my Shapton stone and my don’t stones. I free hand sharpen like Rob Cosman.This thing holds the diamond stone and the shapton stones really well and because I have my sharpening station set up on a silicone dog water Mat, ir doesn’t slide at all.Have had zero problems with the one in the right, which I have had for 2 years, even when it was just sitting on plywood, it didn’t slip.This is the second one ( new in left) and if I need more I will surely get more of them.Great priceWorks as describedBuy it !
