POWERTEC Sharpening Stone Holder – Adjustable Whetstone Stone Holder 5.5" to 9", Non-Slip Rubber Base for Secure Knives Sharpening for Kitchen w/knife Sharpener, Wet, Diamond Stone(71013)

I've used varieties of whet stones and have at least a half dozen. Something that I've always struggled with was securing the stone on a counter or table top. I've always used a wet washcloth. Yeah, it kind of worked, but I never really knew about these kinds of stone holders until watching some sharpening videos.This unit is very quickly adustable to practically any size that most of us will ever run into. It firmly grasps the stone. I have one stone that I was concerned might not work, since it's a relatively thin double sided diamond stone--about 1/4" thick. The holder still holds this stone properly without getting in the way of the blade during sharpening.If you use stones and haven't found a good holding system, this unit won't break the bank and you'll wonder how you ever went without it. Good construction, quality material, and non-slip.

The POWERTEC Sharpening Stone Holder is the ideal way to secure your sharpening stones so that you have both hands free during the process. It is much safer than trying to wield your straight razor, knife, or other sharp-edged tool with only one hand. The stone stays secured and doesn't move a lot with the rubber sections of the holder. Hubby definitely recommends the POWERTEC Sharpening Stone Holder!

Works well. Easy to adjust and easy to clean. Stays put while sharpening.

Holds your stones for sharping. Easy to use and small footprint. Affordable. Does it well.The ONLY issue I have is that the threads are rust prone compared to the rest of it. Contact areas between the rubber and rods are also places which water can have stronger adhersion may have leave slight water spots/rust marks. HOWEVER the rusting on the threading doesnt really affect function until it gets realllllly bad but I havent gotten there yet and I have had this thing for over 3 years. Just flick off the water or wipe it, and it should last a long time. For the price and years of use, its fine as it is BUT it could use improvement for durabilityJust dont leave water on the threads when stored.

This worked very well in flattening several large water stones.

Wanted to try hand sharpening, and already had a stone. Was originally just going to get a plastic or bamboo base, but read a lot of reviews recommending an over the sink one to have ease of access to water and cleanup, so tried this out.It has a lot of ton of adjustability, is long enough to bridge my sink, but sturdy enough that I don't feel a lot of flex when sharpening. Holds my stone securely, and didn't budge, even when sharpening a bigger blade like a chinese cleaver. I appreciate the locking bolts having a plastic knob rather than the metal wing nuts on other brands. Since it seems to just hold in place via tension/friction how it holds up long term is an open question, but as this would only get occasional use I'm hoping it'll hold up.

I love this little holder, I can’t see spending over $100 for a glass holder for my Shapton stone and my don’t stones. I free hand sharpen like Rob Cosman.This thing holds the diamond stone and the shapton stones really well and because I have my sharpening station set up on a silicone dog water Mat, ir doesn’t slide at all.Have had zero problems with the one in the right, which I have had for 2 years, even when it was just sitting on plywood, it didn’t slip.This is the second one ( new in left) and if I need more I will surely get more of them.Great priceWorks as describedBuy it !

Does it job well
