- Good base
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.....
Rating: - Excellent sharpening aid - worth the $15 or so
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 ...

- It's ok
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 withthe duosharp stone I bought was better. I did like the fact that it raises the stone so it makes it easier to use.
Rating: - GREAT item, NO customer service
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. ...

Rating: - DuoBase Whetstone
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.
