Special thanks to Dominic, for sending these stone to me. I have a few more knives to sharpen on them, before passing them along. My over all impression has been very positive.
I got many things in this video incorrect. Please check the comment section where Hap Stanley cleared up my mistakes. Also, take a look at my follow up video, where I address these things. The link is below.
Follow up, where I clear my misconceptions about the assumptions I made in this video

In the video I misquoted the pricing on the stone stand. I stated it was around $180. It is actually around $118.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for another great video. I would like to make a couple of comments. Our Stone stage is $110 retail and its made from excellent materials. To be clear our stones are not made by Shapton. They are completely designed by me and they are being molded for us by a Japanese company. I finish the stones in my shop and glue them to the backing plates myself personally.I cut all the aluminum plates and stages in my shop and a local machinist cuts the holes for our stage in the back. Then I have a local finisher anodize the aluminum for me. Then I do the laser work on the plates in my shop. Finally, I use very high bond tape to attach the stones to the plates in my press. I build every one of them myself. I would note that they are also wider than Shapton as well as thicker. The ponds are also machined for me locally from solid aluminum billets so that accounts for much of the cost. The coating I'm using on both the ponds and the stage is called "hard coat" anodize. It is very tough and cleans very easily. that is also expensive. I know the prices of these things look high at first glance but, my margins are far smaller than you might imagine. The NL-8, our $399 button plate is a good example. It is very flat, yes, but, the cost is primarily in the materials and machining. Those are solid diamond buttons not an electroplated veneer of diamond. You probably can't wear one out hand sharpening. And, if you get it out of flat, I can reflatten it on my lapping machine in my shop. The NL-5 that you are testing is a pattern that I designed specifically for flattening stones. I wanted to maximize the number of edges around the structure and give lots of clearance for the slurry to be pushed out of the way. this also reduces sticking. so, the plate won't stick to the stone as you're flattening. I really appreciate you're review Jeff. If you wan to try my sStone Stage, i'll be glad to send you one for review.
Hi Jeff this is probably one of the best videos reviews I've seen on sharpening stones! It shows that you had mentioned experience sharpening with abraiding plates from many different brands. I wish everybody would watch this video from the perspective of freehand sharpening and investment versus reality!
Thanks Jeff. So happy that I have found your channel. For some reason it seems difficult to find great reviews and instructions when it comes to sharpening.
Great content as usual!
Burrfection here on TH-cam has the best price on a sharpening stations and they are better then most
I'm really like the fact that they're thicker than the shaptons, I'll head to the web site and check them out.
Great video just might have to buy a set thanks for the video
Nice point about the importance of flatness in the diamond plate being maybe unnecessary.
They look like nice stones Jeff. I just use an old 1000 grit diamond stone to lap my stones and it seems to work. Thanks for video atb paddy 👍☘️😀
First
I bought me a set i really love the 400 grit stone 1000 grit is ok like my Naniwa 800 more i like the 6000 grit stone all in all great set of stones would recommend definitely
Nice that came out well
My advice: Buy your self a double-sided diamond plate, coarse, 600/1200 grit. They never dish and no need to soak them. Then have a fine Japanese whetstone 3000 grit for finishing, and you are good to go for a fragment of the price. NB: Never soak a fine stone (3000 grit+) in water for a long time because it can actually harm the stone and crack it when you use it. Just add som water on top of it and keep it whet that way....
Biggest problem I see is the loading, even on lower grit stones shown here - there’s nothing I hate more in water stones haha. I do like their lapping plates a lot though
Superb edge on that ripple mate.
I think these are a upgraded shapton glass! Nano hone is an American company so that's a huge plus in my book!
Great review! If u wanna try the rex at 66 hrc go for it. Had another set of these stones and no cracking! But I'll keep u updated. I was to scared to sharpen a hard steel on these stones but your alot better than me!
Hey mate, subscribed after I watched quite a few videos of your channel. You certainly know your job well and are quite well informed. I am impressed. I am wondering if you sharpen other knives like Chef' Knives apart from the pocket Knives?
Yeah I think dom bond is right they are upgraded glass stones. The owner used to make the glass stones and be affiliated with shapton. Now he’s on his own I think. Also, I’m really looking forward getting these and trying them. The narrow width was the reason I never got one. An atoma is 65-75 and lasts me at least a year with heavy lapping of Japanese naturals, ceramic stones and silicon carbide stones.
Just turn the plate so that the length of it is on both sides, that way you are covering the whole stone. Besides that, since I got into sharpening more, I have realized it is literally addicting, lol. When I first started watching your channel, I didn't understand why you had so many stones, but now I understand 100%. I don't know what it is, it's just knife sharpening is so relaxing for me, I just get in the zone.
