those work, I'd recommend the Worksharp GSS for less money and more abrasive options, it also can help you get started on learning freehand.

I have the GSS and I like the system. I've had it for about a year and half now. No problems with it at all. I plan on moving to a higher end stone set or possibly a wicked edge system. But I like free hand sharpening usually.

^ Nice, my favorite edge is to take the guides off and do 15dps on the coarse to a burr, light deburr on the fine and final deburr with alternating passes on the ceramic. Smokin' edge, very crisp and aggressive.

I really like to follow that up with a loaded strop.
