Great for home personal use
As previous meat cutter I couldn't find any satisfaction in sharpening my knives with anything other than a whetstone. If you know what you are doing, this product will be fine. It's a bit small to get full swipes on anything blade longer than 6 inches, thinking specifically larger chef knives. The actual kit I purchased is just over 8 inches long and about 2 5/8 inches wide. Between the small surfacfe and the steep price of $150+ (before shipping) I'm showing today I have to take off at least one star, and prefer another half star. However I probably being overly critical. I think I paid roughly a third of that give / take $20. It will do the job regardless, if all your knives are 6 inches or less. Anything over 7 inches would be very tight to swipe and would not be a "fluid process" to sharpen your knife, but could be done with patience (something I lack at times).
Much better than my Chef's Choice
Gets my knives seriously sharp edge and the guides are very helpful. Apparently, earlier iterations of the guides scuffed up blades, but the ones I received with the stone were lined and didn't leave any marks on my knives.
