Spyderco Double Stuff Ceramic Stone

OK...does the job...takes time and patience. Once the edge is on, keep it there. Use stones frequently to maintain edge.

This is not a bench stone. You will get frustrated trying to use this on large blades, especially if you really want that perfect, flat grind edge. If, however, you're looking for something to keep in a backpack, this is it. I've had mine for well over ten years. As with any ceramic stone, it loads pretty quickly, but washes out easily.

Good points:

-Gives you a very nice polished shaving sharp edge

-Product fit and finish is very nice (they took the time to radius the stones!)

-Very nice quality leather sheath doubles as a strop for final polishing in a pinch

-Ceramic is of the hardest materials known to man, only second to Diamonds

-5 inch length provides a workable length to sharpen knives on without being overly awkward

-Good value for the money

-Ceramic is VERY long lasting and will pretty much never wear out

Things to be aware of: (Note I didn't title this "bad points")

-Although Ceramic is very hard, it is also brittle by design and will shatter if dropped

-Ceramic by it's very nature is a fine abrasive and is more geared towards the finishing process. So if you have a chipped or damaged blade, don't bother using ceramic. You will be there all day! Instead use a different sharpening medium for heavier stalk removal.

-Ceramic loads with steel faster than other abrasive mediums such as diamonds or synthetic stones, so they will require routine cleaning. Simply use some Comet cleanser and a NYLON scrubbing pad with water... Do not use steel wool or you will simply load the stone with more steel.

Bottom line: Keeping the above in mind, I think this is a great sharpener from a great company. Give it a try!
