SHARPAL 194H Sharpening Stone Angle Guide | Chisel/Plane Iron Blade Sharpening Guide, Knife Edge Angle Finder, Knife Sharpening Trainer (Angle from 15° to 45°)

Thank you thank you thank you SHARPAL, i’ve used Whetstones, Rollers, Lansky systems and none of them worked anywhere near as good as this diamond block. Very easy to use a there’s no water and in turn no mess!!! I went for the bigger size as it gave me more room for the knife, the quality is top tier and the magnetic angle guide is really helpful for beginners. I was pleasantly surprised by the price too because the Lansky system was nearly double what i paid for this. All in all a perfect sharpener for a beginner or seasoned pro. I also recommend the double sided leather strop, really finishes the blade off.

The one aspect of free hand sharpening that's always got the better of me was teaching muscle memory to remember blade angles, nah I'm useless at it and I am glad I saw a friends using something very similar to this handy little gadget. Setting the device at the angle you wish to grind at and attach it to the side of the knife to be sharpened with it's built in magnets, allow one to accurately predict the angle of attack even before making contact with the stone. Once I'd got the hang of keeping the integrated spirit bubble at a consistent level, the results I was getting were considerably more consistent and resulted in a much finer sharper edge, than I was achieving by free-hand sharpening them. They are injection moulded plastic frames, snapped together and pivots at one end with notches to hold the desired angle. two small slightly weak magnets hold the guide against the knife blade, while one maintains the same angle during the entire sharpening process. Pro's: Great for teaching ones hand the muscle memory required to sharpen knives freehand. Con's: The two tiny ferrous bar magnets could have been stronger neodymium magnets, but they do sort of stay put if you're gentle. I stick blu-tack under mine to be extra sure! 👍

this is a really great piece of kit for anyone getting started or with experience. it helps keep angles sharp and precise with minimal effort. a must have for proffessionals and learners alike. its compact, easy to use, and will help you re-edge almost anything that uses a wetstone. will even work with metal objects being grinded or sanded with grinders or belt sanders but do that at your own risk as the items originally purpose is for wetstones, not beveling. this item is compact and folds, perfect for any campers or survivalists. definitely a must have for preppers and outdoorsman. may pick some more of these up for family at some point. the simplicity alone makes this a valuable ally for when sharpening or re-edging anything metal

The idea behind this product is great to help aid your sharpening ability at a good cost. The product was well made and fitted to my larger knives well, though, didn't work very well with smaller knives. Additionally, the angle would slip regularly as it was not lockable, so did not work as well as it could.

The Sharpal angle guide is easy to use and helps maintain a consistent sharpening angle, even for beginners. It sits securely on the blade and provides reliable guidance, making sharpening faster and more accurate. A handy, no-nonsense tool for getting consistent results. Not the most ideal for small knives.

A small piece of plastic with not a very strong magnet that's awkward to use

I think this kind of guide is far more simple to use. Which is made by the same company. It is difficult to hold an angle and gain any rhythm as the bubble gets rattled around while drawing blade back and forth on the wetstone. Mine was fragile can't say that applies to all of them I sent it back as it broke after 4/5 uses. That said I am sure there are other uses for this device which suit it better, maybye on fixed angle sharpeners.

This is an interesting little product, and overall I would say it has mostly helped me, so worth the small price. When learning to sharpen a kitchen knife, getting the angle right is one of the hardest bits it seems, and so vital to success. This helps you do that, albeit slowly and with a fair bit of hassle. It magnetically sticks to the knife, and helps you line up a consistent angle. So that bit is great. The problem comes when swapping to the other side of the knife, you have to keep taking this thing off and repositioning it, probably 30 times in an average sharpen. In a way it’s a design flaw I suppose, but I can’t imagine how they would change it. For me I’ll use it some while I learn the angles, but don’t want to get reliant on it either as it makes the process so much slower. So overall, good, and probably worth it - briefly - for a beginner

Ottimo per affilare i coltelli sulle pietre. Si riesce ad usare anche su coltelli sottili facendo un po' di attenzione perché tende a staccarsi con movimenti bruschi. Sulle lame più larghe non c'è alcun problema.

If you sharpen knives on stones, this is a must have. Set your angle, clip it on the knife and start scraping. This product works super well. I am literally able to shave with my kitchen knives now. Well designed and a great price.

Bra. Prisvärd.

bueno y fácil de usar
