What can you recommend for minimizing pores?

The KitchenIQ 50883 Edge Grip 2-Stage is a basic two-stage knife sharpener. We've seen the same design sold under different brands as well. Our lead tester has years of experience with a nearly identical product labeled with a different brand. His experience has been favorable, both with the older one and with the tested Kitchen IQ. The two-stage sharpening system can be used to resurface a rough, badly worn edge or to put a fine hone on a more slightly dulled blade. 
The basic nature of this product has some performance drawbacks. A powered sharpener is way faster, and larger manual sharpeners include more gradations of texture and are easier to manipulate. Such are the tradeoffs you must accept to enjoy the low price of this model. You get significantly more than what you pay for with the Kitchen IQ.

 However, I did notice I would have to strike to sharpen my utensils much harder after about a year. Out of the box, this was a 5 star product. I think with a little improved durability it would be even better. But at this price definitely still a great option

 I think with a little improved durability it would be even better. But at this price definitely still a great option.

I liked this a lot better a year ago

 You're basically getting something that will extend the life of all of your knives for the price of a burger, it's a great investment.

 Because when you use it, you'll end up with a bit of powdered metal and fragments. Both on the knife, and the sharpener itself. It's not really noticeable, though you'll see it when you wipe the blade down with a fabric or paper towel. My suggestion is to use the sharpener somewhere that cleanup is easy, maybe even outside

 And just do a very thorough job of cleaning your knife before using it again. Last thing you want is tiny bits of metal in your food. You're basically getting something that will extend the life of all of your knives for the price of a burger, it's a great investment.

Something You Need to Know Before Using

 You can hear the clacking in the next room. To make things worse, my sister used to use a glass cutting board. Glass is harder that most steels and will just pound your edge flat. The best cutting boards are wood or bamboo and scientific studies have shown that wood is more sanitary when tested that glass or plastic

 Tungsten carbide is very close to diamond in hardness and diamong should not necessarily be more expensive. We are talking about a process using vaporized carbon to deposite a layer that is, essentially, diamond. We are not talking about mining anything three miles down in South Africa.  The main advantage of this particular product is that it allows you to get the butt end of the blade fairly close to the rods

 It would be ideal to throw in a backpack or fishing box or to keep in any handy place you plan to do knife sharpening.  Once your carbide or ceramic get chipped or damaged looking, throw the thing away and buy another one. Just by the laws of physics, these types of sharpeners will not last all eternity if put to good use. Also, if you have a really pricey pocket knife and it's already fairly sharp, avoid the tungsten carbide and use the ceramic, the white rods

 Glass is harder that most steels and will just pound your edge flat. The best cutting boards are wood or bamboo and scientific studies have shown that wood is more sanitary when tested that glass or plastic. My sister used to use glass through some concern about germs. Just wash your cutting board and don't scour it with a rough cleaning pad to make micro grooves

Good for small knives like pocket knives.

Consumer Reports

For the avid cook, there are few more valuable tools than a solid and dependable knife—and taking optimal care of one is of utmost importance. This double-sided sharpening stone comes with both a coarse and a fine side, which provides exceptional sharpening and an exceptionally sharp edge via the fine side. CR editor Paul Hope found that the Sharp Pebble Whetstone put an edge on the knives that none of the electric or manual sharpeners could match, making it a top choice for cooks who are serious about sharp blades.For more options: Best Knife Sharpeners

 This whetstone gets my blades back to razor sharp quality in a matter of minutes and gives me a sharp blade wherever I go. The dual sided grit is what really drew me to this stone. As the 1000 grit cleans up the edge and gets any major imperfections out and the 6000 grit gives me that razor sharp edge. Stand it comes in is nice too, keeps it in place while working the blade, you won't regret the purchase

 I'm a carpenter avid outdoorsman so in general I like to keep a knife on me wherever I go as you find yourself in need of one more often than not. I beat on my knives hard, regularly using them on the job site to cut miscellaneous day to day material that oftentimes dulls the blade into becoming a glorified butter knife. This whetstone gets my blades back to razor sharp quality in a matter of minutes and gives me a sharp blade wherever I go. The dual sided grit is what really drew me to this stone

Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone Knife Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 1000//6000 review

 With 4 different grits, patience and following pre and post instructions, this should last years!

Guide only fits blades over 6"

I bought this product because I wanted to develop my skills for sharpening my kitchen knives. If you’re knives are very dull then I would suggest getting a quarter grit such as 400. I think this particular product is more for someone who has maintained their knives and the 1000 grit works well. In my case I had to buy a stone that had 400 grit on one side and 1000 grit on the other

 I think this particular product is more for someone who has maintained their knives and the 1000 grit works well.

I think my first attempt at sharpening was successful and I will continue with it

 You will need to watch several online videos to develop a technique. I think my first attempt at sharpening was successful and I will continue with it. It worked way better than trying to use any type of drag through sharpener

Good for beginners

 Had the tomato ready for testing. Impact of the sharpener was immediate. I could literally see a small nick in one of our paring knives and after working the stone it was gone and sliced the tomato like a hot knife through butter. Nice product packaging as well

We purchased a set of Wustof knives several years ago and have noticed the dullness despite trying a variety of cheap sharpeners. After paying $15 to get one knife sharpened I divided it was time to take care of our knife investment. I got the sharpener today and immediately set to work sharpening all of our knives. I had watched two YT videos so felt comfortable on how to use the sharpener right out of the box

Knife investment

 The one recommended here is the best for your typical kitchen blade use. The instruction manual, actually a one-sided page, describes how to use the stone, however as a training professional I would recommend some photos or drawings to make the steps clearer. Epicurious' YouTube channel has a very good demo on sharpening using this stone: "The Best Way to Sharpen & Clean Knives." The included angle guide that holds the blade at the proper angle to the stone is good for beginners, but is small enough to easily use

 I downloaded it and discovered that the link is actually to a no-cost subscription to an on-going newsletter, with a link to download the actual ebook. Nonetheless, the content is useful; for example, they revealed an interesting tip to help the sharpening process which I have not yet tried but look forward to doing so.

Effective and simple to use

 Also, make sure you dry everything well before storing again as the wooden holder will mildew (that was not a pleasant clean up). But overall, a good value for keeping your kitchen knives about as sharp as they can be.

Good budget option
