I recently purchased this package, and I have to say that I think this is a great deal (at $119). The two Norton waterstones included in the package provide 4 sizes of grit (220/1000 and 4000/8000) that can handle any sharpening task. At 3 inches wide, these stones are great for wide plane blades (my Stanley No. 7 blade is too wide to sharpen easily on anything much narrower than this). The protective cases for the stones can also be used to hold the stones during sharpening. The flattening stone makes it easy to keep the waterstones flat (these stones wear faster than others, so this is important). And, if you are just starting out with waterstone sharpening, you will find the included tray to be very helpful in reducing the attendant mess. The DVD is fine, and may be helpful for beginners, although personally I prefer to use a honing guide rather than do it freehand. If you are starting out with waterstones, or want to try the Norton stones at a reasonable price, this is the package for you.

nice set of stones, good norton quality,comes with cd instructions, and the most agressive packaging job i've ever seen.The only way theses stones would break packaged like this would be to throw them out an airplane. No kidding!

I will really love these stones once I "make them mine" as in, put in the rest of the labor of flattening them. I concur with the other reviewers that the stones do not come perfectly flat, not by a long shot. They have a sort of "belly" to them that needs to be ground off... so familiarize yourself with the flattening stone first and foremost. The instructions are helpful, they tell you to use pencil marks on the stone to show you where it is still low and unground. My 220/1000 stone only took about 15 minutes of grinding to flatten both sides and all pencil marks were gone. The 4000 side of the 4000/8000 stone took about 40 minutes before I gave up and left a small area unground. I figure it will wear down in time. Now, the 8000 grit side.. oh MAN is that taking some time! The finer the grit, the longer it takes to flatten the stone.I am so glad I got this kit (that comes with the carbide flattening stone) instead of just the stones. Be prepared to put in the labor, and in about 2 hours they will be perfect.I also concur that the packaging is very good. No chips, dings or anything. The water tray with rubber mat is also nice. I have not had any problems with the stones coming unglued, but will watch for that and try not to soak more than 20 minutes.
