DuoBase Whetstone [Posted on 2006-07-03]
Does exactly as promised...Holds your duostone whetstone securely in place during use. Added plus is the height of this thang allows a large handed person like me to sharpen a long kitchen knife all the way to the hilt.
GREAT item, NO customer service [Posted on 2007-03-08]
I ordered this and a combination diamond stone but they arrived loose in a box. Fortunately their individual packages prevented any damage. However the duo base requires 12 rubber cushions and only 10 were in the package. I sent two emails to DMT about this and received NO response. Not even an acknowledgement to the emails. I was able to find similar cushions and the stone with base work like a champ. I tried to make Amazon aware of this but their website will only let you 'return' items. I only want to make them aware of the lack of communication from the manufacturer and this review area is the only apparent avenue to do that.
It's ok [Posted on 2007-11-15]
I must admit I was expecting something heavier and better quality. This is made out of plastic with rubber contacts to prevent it from slipping. I placed my duosharp stone on it and placed the whole thing on my tile counter tops. The rubber feet do slip after the countertops get wet (which they will since you need the water to lubricate). The little rubber mat that came with the duosharp stone I bought was better. I did like the fact that it raises the stone so it makes it easier to use.
Excellent sharpening aid - worth the $15 or so [Posted on 2008-06-10]
This is just about the perfect height for sharpening all kinds of stuff. So far I've sharpened kitchen knives, pocket knives and straight razors with this. It enables one to get an excellent bevel on a straight and to carefully control the bevel on kitchen knives and the like. I've not used any kind of jig, it's all by hand. The rubber feet on the bottom hold the stand steady and the rubber feet under the stone anchor the stone in place. Finally, there is a handle on the bottom of the stand that allows one to hold the base with whichever stone you might require and move the surface over a stationary item. I've done this with waterstones in order to get a flat surface. Works great, I'm very pleased.
Good base [Posted on 2008-11-03]
This thing works as intended, but I find that I really don't use it. I just use a plastic tub with water in it.....
