I was recently gifted a 3" x 8" Trend diamond stone and a holder for it. 300 grit on one side, 1000 grit on the other. It's helped me to rediscover the zen of hand sharpening knives. It stays on the patio table for use when those easy times are here. It's a very nice stone (piece of steel?) and the holder makes a ton of difference in ease of use. It's also satisfying to know I can still get a knife screaming sharp with my hands, eyes and this gem of a set up.
Goes pretty quick too, especially when using the 300 side. Fully recommended.
