Sharpened all my knifes like they were brand new

This ALWOA whetstone is an impressively high quality sharpening system. The bamboo base holds the whetstone securely in place while sharpening, which is essential for safety, as well as getting a sharp edge. The stone itself is two sided, each side formulated differently. One side has a grit of 1000, and the other is 6000,for getting a Razor sharp finish on the edge of the blade. The stone is designed to be pre-soaked in water for about 10 minutes prior to use, which allows a new sharpening surface to be used with each swipe, and prevents nicks, burrs, and gouges in the blade while sharpening. If you've never used a whetstone before, there's even a plastic guide included that slips onto the back of your knife to help you get the feel of the perfect angle to achieve a Razor sharp edge. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there are no instructions or anything that helps the user identify what each of the included pieces is called on what it's function is. Fortunately, I have experience using a whetstone, but if this had been my first time purchasing one and had never used one before, I would have no idea what to do with it or how to use it properly.
