I don't have room for a dedicated sharpening station. I break this bad boy out with my shapton ceramics loaded up (yes they do fit) and sharpen away. The stones are protected and any mess ends up in the bucket instead of on my workbench. It's also nice for when I go visit family and sharpen their terribly dull knives. Dull knives are scary and a nice toolbox of sharpening is great for traveling. I wouldn't buy this if you don't plan on sharpening away from home or if you have space for a real sharpening station.

there is a three sided stone holder in the top section of the case, but the stones are held by screw tightened plates. this makes using two sided stones problematic one would have to unscrew and re-screw the holder each time one wanted to use the other side of the stone.

Exactly what I thought it would be. I actually have 4 stones but can keep the very coarse stone seperate.

First of all, I never simply look at the picture to determine what is in the box. I read the description. The description for this product clearly states there are no stones in the box. And if it did come with stones, I would question the quality for the price of this storage box.

That said, this is a convenient storage and work box for sharpening stones. the mess stays in the box, not on your work bench. Sure, $35 would be a better price, but I couldn't find anything better for the money.

Besides, I used my points to pay for over have the cost. And it was delived in 2 days at no charge. Not bad.

Would only improve the water proofing ability on the center spindle. I drilled a few small holes to help it drain out the water when done sharpening otherwise it sloshes around in it.
