First, this is not what you need to put a fine edge on your carving knife. It's great for those large heavy use blades that are angular or hard to do with a flat stone. I like it because I don't have to remove a blade from a mower and I can sit down with tools like sickles, axes and splitters to control the process that I can't do as well when standing in front of the bench grinder. Also, a power grinder takes off too much metal.

This isn't rocket science so if your blade edge is pretty bad you use the coarse side to get it close and the fine side to finish it off. Since it's designed for tools that cut with brute force or power assist you don't need, nor should you expect, an edge that will split a hair. If you use a scythe you can keep this in your pocket to hone the blade a few times while in the field. I paid eight fifty and when I posted this review it was about thirteen fifty and, in my opinion, not worth that price. I gave it 4 stars because it works and another one because it was a bargain... and I didn't need the instructions that were included.

For those who prefer the instructions... the package my puck came in was rectangular and there was a cardboard insert in it. The insert opens like a book and the instructions are on the inside of it. Pretty much what I said above but they recommend using a specific type of honing oil but most types will do fine though I prefer some spittle instead of having an oily stone.

I got this and went to work on an old neglected ax. It did a fine job of sharpening it up. In the meantime, I got a new hatchet and used it for about 90 minutes. I then used this sharpener on it for less than 3 minutes and it made the hatchet razor sharp; honestly, it was almost as sharp as my Benchmade pocket knife. I was amazed.

Although the reviews are really positive, I just didn't believe that this stone would work so well. I'm pleasantly and happily surprised and I recommend this to you. (Note - I used the Lansky Oil on the stone, so factor that in my review).

I keep this to sharpen my granfors bruks axe or my condor machete in the field. It is a light weight easy to pack solution for keeping your gear sharp in the field. It is also very useful when sharpening anything with a curve in it that you cant get to with a regular sharpening stone. Would recommend to anyone with any large cutting tools that they want to keep sharp.

The Lansky puck arrived very quickly and had The Puck in it. The stone has course and medium grit stones which got my Cold Steel Kurki Machetes pretty sharp. Then I had to sharpen my sword, other machetes and touch up others. Overall great stone would suggest buying one.

Very nice sharpener. Rough side and soft side. I used it to sharpen my dull and rusted hatchet and it created a very nice sharp edge. I didn't use the Lanskys oil like they recommended and it still came out fine so that's not absolutely necessary.

Just got this in yesterday. Already, it has helped to put razor sharp edges on my axe, campers axes, as well as knives and machetes of all sorts including my Ontario 6420 OKC Kukri Knife (Black) Its definitely heavy duty, and has a little weight behind it, so you ultra-lite folks may not be too crazy about it if you're trying to shave off the ounces. But, if you don't care about a few extra ounces in your pack, this bad boy would be well worth taking along. Its not that hard to use, either...it is what it is. The instructions are plain and simple to follow. Its not brain science or rocket surgery. A few drops of honing oil or a little saliva if you have to, coarse side first then flip it over and use the medium coarse side for a nice hone. Works like a champ. I will be buying a couple more to keep in various places so I'll be sure to have one around when I need it.

I've used this to sharpen all of my kitchen tools...for the first time ever. It worked for my blender blades (Ninja master) as well as my kitchen knives and my hatchet is my next project which may take a little longer. For my blender, I was told I'd have to buy new blades by the manufacturer. After using this, they are working better than they did when new. I realize now how important it is to sharpen your cutting tools.

I've been using the water rinsing technique, regularly wetting the stone and rinsing the blade and stone as I sharpen. It's been working great. Definitely do not use it dry. Honing oil I'm sure would be best.

I thought it would be a lot larger in diameter but to my surprise, it's quite small and fits into my palm pleasantly. If you are clumsy like myself, please wear some gloves b/c I had some scary moments with this and my fiskars 14" hatchet. The hatchet is already razor sharp but I had some minor dings on it.

How I used this goes a little like this
1) Use the coarse side and work the blade
2) Work the dings out smooth then aggressively work it to a shiny edge
3) Flip over to the fine side and finish the blade with only the weight of the stone.

***I use a circular motion with both sides of the stone.
***Smooth fine side is only used to polish the edge and put a sharp edge on the hatchet or axe.
***No gloves = no love. This will slip and you might catch on the blade and it won't be pretty...

I would recommend this to anyone who needs to sharpen knives, axes or any other zombie killing weapon!

Purchased this to keep a nice edge on my Estwing hatchet Estwing E24A Sportsman's Hatchet Metal Handle and I'm completely satisfied with the job it's done. With the dual sides, I first work it over with the rough grit, then finish with the smooth side. Lansky also sells a honing oil, but... I just use spit. :)
