Yaxell 3 Stage Water Stone Knife Sharpener

I have electric and manual water stones for my 12 degree bevel Japanese knives and I think I will be using this much more frequently. It is quick to fill with water and let the stones get wet, then with a few pulls it puts a good edge back on it and I don't have to worry about scarring it up or taking too much off too quickly like some electric ones do. It's pretty easy to tell which stone is coarse, medium and fine, as the lid did have the markings on it (1,2,3), though they were clear also and a little hard to see in some lights. Overall, as long as the stones hold up well ongoing, I am glad I chose to invest in this time saver.

Great sharpener. Stone 1 is coarse, 2 is medium, 3 is fine. Each stone is clearly marked with the number corresponding to it's grit. Ten pulls through each stone and my knives are sharp and with proper honing I worked through 5 dinner services and no sign of dulling.

No directions as to which colored stone is coarse , medium, and fine . So deciding on the sequence of sharpening is a guess. It looks like blue coarse, orange medium, pink fine to me .

Need to provide directions.
