Whetstone Knife Sharpening Angle Guide by Sharp Pebble

This simple, slide-on angle guide does help maintain a consistent angle when sharpening a knife. I am not an expert sharpener and I do not trust myself to maintain the same angle for both sides of the blade and while stepping through different levels of abrasives.I am currently experimenting with the "Scary Sharp" approach, using 3M honing film mounted on float glass, to sharpen some of my older kitchen knives. The guide does help but for a really sharp edge, after setting the bevels and polishing to 12 micron/1200 grit, I finish with 9 micron/1800 grit. And I have to roll the guide up off the back just a couple of degrees to finish with the last half dozen strokes. And I do this for both sides of the knife, of course.The Scary Sharp approach is being adopted by many woodworkers for their flat chisel and plane blades. Most highly recommend using a bevel guide of one sort or another. It is also being used by Straight Razor enthusiasts, though the one tutorial video did not show a bevel guide being used. Given my stated above lack of confidence in my ability to maintain an identical bevel for both sides as I step through 40/30/12/9 micron honing films, a guide of some sort seemed mandatory.And this one is working for me well. I even used it with some 120 grit wet/dry sanding paper to remove larger nicks in the kitchen knives The ceramic rod at the back of the guide slipped over all of the various levels of abrasives quite well.The price seems a bit high for what it is. But most competitor guides were similarly priced. One guide is significantly cheaper but comes from overseas and takes weeks to arrive. I would buy this guide again. as it is well made and delivered very quickly.

My husband loved this so much he gave it to one of our friends. I have yet to reorder!

Good product and attaches okay.

I would honestly not recommend this to anyone. Its ok but the angle on this tool is like a one size fits all type. You also have to be careful with it if not you can scratch up your knife. Maybe some soap or other lubricant to help easy the blade in. I ended up scratching my Spyderco Police 4 with it. 😓 To wrap it up, my sole complaint is it is only for one angle and it can scratch up your knives. If you have a Japanese knife forget it! I recommend the Sharpal Angle Pyramid. It has a 14°, 17°, 20°, and 25° angles to offer variety and cheaper too.

This is great as I learning on how to sharpen knife and provide the much needed help to make sure that I get it right. The only issue is that it leaves marks on the back of the knifes since it holds the blade so tight.

I used this Sharp Pebble Knife Sharpening Angle Guide once. It seemed to help me maintain an angle pretty well, though that first try didn’t produce much of an edge. The problem came when when I took it off my knife: extensive, nasty scratches on both sides of the blade (see photos). These aren’t likely to damage the function of the knife, but to me, tools are esthetic as well as functional tools. This knife will forever look trashed, even if it works well. I’m considering returning the product, since I’ll surely never let it touch another of my knives.

This angle guide helps provide the proper angle (15 degrees) for sharpening knives on a whetstone.

It does exactly what I want it to. Very happy!
