I'm confused by the discription and picture - how many and what types of hones are included?
812235
The Professional Sharpening System has five hones and rods. The hones included are Coarse, Medium, Fine, Ultra Fine, and Serrated Blade.

There are 3 honrs and corresponding rods. A very good set to sharpen knives.... Just talked practice

I think it means it has 6 options(carving, cutting, grinding/sharpening, cleaning/polishing, sanding, collets/miscellaneous) and 50 accessories(bits and parts). I'm not 100% sure.

The title is correct - it is a 6-tin set. Sorry for the confusion! We will have Amazon update the listing right away. Thanks!

I only received 1 Cleaning cartridge - I think the listing should be modified to reflect what is correctly included in the kit. Shaver, case, cleaning brush, charger, charger base and 1 cleaning cartridge.

I think there were 6. But I only used 2. They are rough and scratchy. I don't see any point in buying them. I use pine shavings. Besides the hens spent a lot of time tearing them up. I found them unnecessary.

No, this package is six 6000 grit bands, but the 6000 is really fine. It is the honing band for this system. It feels like a piece of cloth after the first use. I used the 6000 to restore a near mirror polish on a "display case queen" speed axe head. I recommend you try the 6000, and if you need a finer hone than it gives, you then go to a good leather strop and finish by hand. I haven't needed to. http://www.worksharptools.com/knife/sharpeners/abrasives.html

Yes, but I have never used it. Each hone has a number ie 1,2,3 and they will ring each other.

Not a dumb question at all. If you went by the picture alone, you would think you were buying just one grip. The picture should show two grips so that people know exactly what they're getting.

You get what's in the picture. 4 knives, 1 peeler, and 4 knife covers. 9 "pieces" in total. I know, its a bit misleading. Great set though!

My leather hone plate came with a stick of compound. The link below shows that the compound is .5 micron Chromium Oxide. Wet the leather and rub the stick on the leather as it is turning. Add as required.http://www.worksharptools.com/woodworking/woodworking-sharpener/parts-and-accessories-woodworking/work-sharp-3000-leather-hone-kit.html

The description is totally off here. This is a set of 24 pan (solid blocks) watercolors - not tubes. Pan colors can be left to dry in their respective slots so there is very little waste.

Maybe this has changed recently, but I just ordered a set - and also ordered a 3" paring knife which I now have to return. My set came with: 8" Chef's knife, 5" serrated utility knife, and a 3" paring knife. Now to find a 4" paring knife to have the set I was looking for ... Really wish the description for this item wasn't so vague.

You are not getting what's in the picture. It is only the motor...blades are not included. I returned the 2 i ordered because I couldnt find the blades i wanted for it and for the price I thought it was all included. I even sent an email to Company & Amazon complaining that it was misleading.

one slot is an aggressive sharpener, the other a hone. Works well, not perfect, but well. Keeps asian knifes in very sharp condition, but use hone often. Not the same as a 10 minute stone sharpening, but fast and good.

There were TWO specified in the offer that I saw. The quantity may have changed (I no longer see the "two" in the current listing). Just be sure that the rims are appropriate for what you intend to use them for.

Hi, I did receive 6 polishes from this company. They had 6 different names but It looked like just 2 shades 3 in blue (all looked alike) 3 in beige pink (all looked alike). Better luck to you. I would not have bought, if I knew exactly what I was getting.

Actually there are only two sharpening options since the American and European blades both have the same angle with the Japanese angle being the one that is different. I am using the term "Japanese" because that is the word used in the instruction manual that comes with the sharpener. So each of the sharpening slots has two sides (left and right side of the knife), then you pass the sharpened blade through the honing/polishing slots - once again two slots for left and right side of the knife. It got a little tricky for me when I realized that my European brand knife had a Japanese angle blade. I almost messed that one up before I caught my mistake.
