FELCODiamond Coated Sharpening Stone Model 903 Oval Shape Reaches All Areas When Sharpening Precise Cut Sharpens Blades Knives Shears 100mm

An ideal accessory for sharpening secateurs, being a good size and thickness to be comfortable in the hand and coming with instructions on the three styles of movements needed to be used to restore a sharp blade on gardening tools, which I found very handy, being unaware of the circular, side edge and back motions needed to complete the job properly.

I purchased this to sharpen a single set of secateurs, I have now sharpened a couple of pair of garden shears and several pairs of scissors and my other half just told me to sharpen the knives in the kitchen.Great bit of kit and very handy.

It’s a very handy size to use on kitchen knives and garden tools. My knives had got very dull, and this has saved them. However, don’t think you can use this on blunt tools like the YouTube videos, which show you using just a few light circular movements for 10 seconds. That is for keeping sharp tools sharp. Using this on a blunt tool needs a bit of force, held at 30 degrees, ‘filing’ away and getting the sharp edge back, working on both sides. Then lightly finishing off both sides, to remove burrs. Both sides are 600 grit, plus you can use the edges as well. It took a few minutes per knife; however, they are now really sharp again. I’ll shortly be using this on the secateurs and I expect the same success. So use this carefully and you won’t be disappointed, just remember to then keep up the maintenance sharpening with a few light strokes on the blade after each use.

This is a really good quality whetstone which is excellent for sharpening my garden secateurs. It's a sturdy and made of metal - much, much better than other varieties on the market.

Slips neatly into Felco 910, and really does sharpen well

So far used this to sharpen secateurs and hedging shears. Straightforward & effective - i found watching YouTube instructional technique videos useful, but there are badic instructions printed on back of packaging.

This did such a good job on garden blades that my sister borrowed it and I can't get it back

Other reviews have commented how small this is, but it's the right size for working on secateurs and very quickly brings a dull blade back to life if you follow the simple instructions. I've also used it successfully on branch loppers and garden shears; it may have other uses I haven't thought of yet.
