Where did you buy it from?

Some things have trouble like that because they're all packaged shittily. The same happens to me from time to time... they just fuck up the packaging on every single one.

Good ol' Amazon

>Not buying DMT diamond stones off amazon, then buying your polishing waterstones at a local woodworker's supply.
You goof'd man, diamond stones are way quicker and better for all but final polishing and most kitchen knives at the mid and low end won't take a decent polishing half the time because they're made of average steel.
I've sharpened a lot of shit and I'll tell you that waterstones are terrible if you want to regrind a knife, change its profile or relieve the back end of the tip.
Do yourself a favour and go for a double sided daimond stone and maybe a 4000 grit waterstone for polishing if your knife is made of good enough steel to justify it.

Kek. I added a couple DMT stones to my Amazon list 45 minutes before you posted this.

The two individual stones are the same price as the kit with the guide rod.
