Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am not going to tell you that it isn't worth buying, and I'll get to the reason why later. First I am going to tell you that this thing DOES NOT polish as well as the yellow Ultra Fine Stone. It leaves a nice looking edge, but the yellow one makes it shiny like a mirror! In that sense alone this product fails. It's advertised as a "Polishing Hone." It just doesn't do it. Now, for the ironic part. You should consider buying it. If you use this hone either after the blue Fine Stone, or in place of it, it leaves your knife CRAZY SHARP! It works up a burr better than the Fine Stone(and maybe even the Medium Stone) can. I can't get an edge like that with the Deluxe system alone, no matter how hard I try. What I do is sharpen like normal, then use the Sapphire to put the final edge on, then I use the yellow Ultra Fine to polish the knife to a mirror finish, being careful not to ruin the edge that the sapphire makes. I'm still really disappointed with this product, I was expecting it to polish even better than the yellow stone. When it didn't work right I emailed Lansky thinking it was a defect. They had me send it to them and they sent a replacement. The replacement was the same. I emailed them again to let them know that I had the same problem with the new one and they still tried to fix it. I have to give this company a lot of credit, I don't want to go into details about what they have done to try to make this right, but it's safe to say that they have REALLY gone out of their way to try to make me a happy customer. I would have to say that Lansky's customer service is the best around, they have really been a pleasure to deal with. And I would recommend most of their products without hesitation.
