Worked really well for a novice knife sharpener
Ian Sherman✓ Verified Purchase•July 25, 2023
This was my first time sharpening knives with a sharpening stone. I had no idea how I'd estimate a 20 degree angle (let alone alter that to 15 degrees for my Japanese knives) so these were a life-saver. I felt much more confident setting and maintaining the proper angle with these blocks, and the knives turned out great.
Easy to use guide to build muscle memory. Rubber band isn't a good securing system (NBD)

These guides are great for beginners to build muscle memory of angles.
First things first - lots of questions about this - If you want your knife to be 15° or 20°, that is referring to the angle per side. So if you want to put a 20° blade on your knife, you should sharpen each side to 20° (total of 40°).
These guides are well made. They are helpful for finding the angle you want, but they are not a crutch, they are a tool. Once you find your angle, you need to lock the wrist that is holding your knife to keep the angle through the push/pull. If you attach the guide to your stone with the rubber band, there is some feedback when you push the blade back to the start position and it slides nicely up onto the angle guide again.
HOWEVER, these guides only securely attach with the rubber band across the stone (like a T, 90°). Most professionals suggest having a 45° angle of attack - meaning your blade is not perpendicular to the stone, but at a 45° angle to the long edge of the stone. The rubber band system doesn't let you securely affix the guide to the stone at 45°. This isn't a huge deal, just something to be aware of. As I mentioned, these are a tool to set your angle and build muscle memory. I put the guide at a 45° angle to the corner of the stone, line up my blade with the desired sharpening angle, and push the guide off the stone before sharpening. Remember, use long, steady strokes!

Work great!

These are very simple, but allow you to maintain the desired angle when hand sharpening on a whetstone. They even came with rubber bands for holding them in place. Lots of different angles so you can choose what you want. Clearly marked.
Angle check

These are OK for a general idea of what angle is being attempted.
Handy

These are handy for sharpening knives but they will scuff your blade if you use them to guide the knife down.
