“Provides a uniform looking bevel but not as sharp as a whetstone, maybe with better instructions it would work better. Not for narrow blades like pocket, steak or filet knives since the diamond stones hit the clamp unless you want a 45deg bevel.”

“I like it construction, heavy and solid built. But the stones don't sharpen as well as my stones. Wife not happy.”

“The Fino Edge system does a very good job of consistently sharpening kitchen knives and similar shop or craft blades. Setup is easy, and the three included diamond honing blocks have a good range of grits for restoring truly dull blades or touching up often-used ones. On the plus side: The results are uniformly consistent from end-to-end of the cutting edge; the adjustments provide a repeatable way to achieve the same cutting angle (of your choosing) when touching up a blade in the future; the technology eliminates any need to "finesse" the actual honing process (unlike truly freehand sharpening). On the minus side: The rubber-faced clamping jaws tend to slip unless you clamp them down hard on the blade to be sharpened (I recommend using a fine marker to draw a line on the blade at the edge of the jaws so that any shifting of the blade during honing is apparent, and to be patient and let the diamond blocks do the work, because leaning into the effort will make the blade creep out of alignment); the system easily accommodates typical kitchen knife sizes but is less accommodating for smaller knives (pocketknives, steak knives, etc.) because the clamping jaws will interfere with the path of the honing blocks unless you either clamp a smaller area of the blade or increase the specified cutting angle. Overall: A good value capable of repeatably excellent results.”
