I bought two AliExpress ones. One for me, one for my folks.
Originally I'd planned to replace the stones with the real ones, but honestly they're fine. How ever many years later idk if I'd even bother getting real stones when these wear out.
Also, once you've been through all your knifes and sharpened them I don't find it gets much use. It's really just a case of topping them up now and the - say once or twice a year. I find it makes more sense to use a steel for the times in between then.
