Where did you get the 1000 grit stones from? How much were they? I’m looking into getting a setup and need to factor in the cost of the extra stones too

I've had good service from these guys.

My results speak for themselves butter knife blunt to scalpel sharp in minutes

Had one of the first models to come out ,a mate was bringing them in from South Africa. Excellent way to keep your knives sharp. No need to worry about angles etc as it's pre set, have done as dannyb said bought a blunt kitchen knife up sharp enough to slice tomatoes.

That stuff does my head in. 2am Saturday morning gutting a big stag ,not thinking about niceties like that.LOL.

I'm still a happy customer a few months down the line. Can't say my hunting knives get much of a workout, but my filleting knives sure do and the Warthog sorts them out.

As an aside, I bought a $2 paring knife from a discount store in Aussie. Surprisingly, it was pretty sharp when I bought it. Put it through the Warthog just to see how it would go, and now it's the sharpest knife I've ever laid my hands on!

Yup as someone who actually makes knives blunter when trying to sharpen them this thing is a great bit of kit, I have never had all my knives so sharp.

If purchasing a second set of stones would the 600 or 1000 grit be better. Cheers

1000 grit

1000

Looks like 1000 then, cheers for the reply’s

What's the difference between the classic ii and elite? Are the rods interchangeable? Edit: found answer...elite has wood base otherwise the same.
