Haven't they been selling the hone stage as a separate implement for
the past several years? Someone has.

One obvious criticism is that this set is useful only for knives with
a 20-degree edge. So it's useless for your cleaver (requires a larger
angle), smaller-angle Japanese-type knives (most Globals, Shuns,
etc.), or single-side bevelled knives (Global debas, etc.)
