NX6 Fits Only Thick Ceramic Rods Diameter 5/8" (16 mm), 12 angles

Purchased these for my ceramic sharpening rod, has 12 different angles, hold the knife to the desired angle and begin sharpening. Gives a razor-sharp knife depending on the knife quality. Use it all the time and it still holds to the rod.

I’ve use these for years now. And just bought another set, because I moved and couldn’t find my originals. Like many people, I really am a sharpening idiot. I tried to learn honing angles on my own, but I ended up dulling (rolling the edge) on my knives in the process. These guides just completely take the guesswork out of estimating angles, and make it easy and effective to keep the edge aligned on your knives. To me that’s worth around $14.

Work great

For the 12" steels at least. The hole is to big for the 10" ones

I am a cooking instructor and I teach many knife skills classes. These guides are amazing. It's the first product that finally made it possible for most of my students to hone at the correct angle. They fit both of my rods (DMT and Messermeister ceramic rods). The fact that many different angles are sold in one package for a reasonable price is a huge bonus.

I have many great knives for carving and typical folding knives. Getting the edge and the angle is critical for a sharp edge.This set gives an easy way to make certain your using your sharpening rod at the right angle.Simply put against the rubber till flat and gently slide the knife down the rod with a small amount of pressure.A perfect angle.Only three stars because for the ceramic rods, which are thicker, it's a tough fit an the guide spring has to spread quite a bit. Also, since almost ever sharpening rod in the universe has either a black or brown handle, why make these things orange? They literally look UGLY on the rod.Please, make them BLACK.

Very often when you see a simple and elegant solution to the problem you have, you think “why didn’t I think of that myself”. I like high quality knives and I have decent collection which I built over time; I have knives from Randall, Chris Reeve, Bob Dozier, etc. From time to time they need to be sharpened, which if done incorrectly can ruin them. To assist with the sharpening and to do it right, you need to know what angle works best for the type of knife that you’re working with; doing this by feel and without a guide is extremely difficult to get right with little experience. I have looked at or tried all the various guides/devices that I was able to find; all were either cumbersome, inconvenient, or entailed some form of electric grinder wheel devices, which will never get your edge as perfectly honed. After much research, it finally looks like I found the best solution in this product. It is very simple to use, you just need to choose the desired angle guide, attach it to the stone by a provided rubber band and you are good to go. Now you can easily sharpen with perfect repeatability at the correct angle. Considering the price and convenience I would highly recommend this product. The package arrived on time and with all the correct contents.

These work great

Ich empfehle dazu einen Keramikstab von Ikea.Einfach die Schleifwinkel über den Stab ziehen,am besten guckt man sich das Mal auf YouTubean.Dort gibt es einige Videos.Die Anwendung ist ganz einfach und die Messer werden schön scharf.!!!!!

Purchased these for my partner who works in a slaughter house and sharp knives are always needed, so decided to try these out and was very suprised on how sharp the knives come out. Will definatly be buying more when needed.

Die Zylinder sind recht groß. Also muss der Wetz-/Schleifstab eine anständige Länge haben.

Much like the blue angle guides, I feel there should have been a wider range of angles, like 10 , 15 or 25 degrees. This isn't suitable for oval shaped honing steels.

Perfect for use with honing/sharpening rods especially on expensive knives. Make sure to get a long rod though as these things take up some space (around 2 inches)
