I have this set as well as a couple of the finer grit stones (ultra fine and sapphire). Unless you practice a lot with it and learn how to minimize the movement between the rod, clamp, and blade it is pretty hard to get a good edge. I can get my knives shaving sharp now but it took a while to achieve. If you sharpen knives frequently and/or have high-quality ones you want to keep sharp you could put in more time to learn free-hand on a water stone/diamond stone or buy something more expensive to avoid the hassle. I also take a picture of each knife in the clamp during the first sharpening to ensure it's lined up the same way next time. This would also be bad for any blade longer than about 5 inches (13cm), and even that is pushing it. You'll probably have to clamp in at least 2 different spots for long blades (I wouldn't go past 4 inches (10cm) per blade/section).

WbartWhat you said about the practice couldn't be more true. It took some time for me to really learn what it takes to put on an amazing edge with this system.
