There's 5 included, the main title description is not accurate. You can see the full details on the company's web site (lansky dot com), which gives the details on the "professional sharpening system" as the following: "Includes coarse (120 grit), medium (280 grit), fine (600 grit) and ultra fine (1000 grit) hones along with a medium triangle shape hone for serrated knife sharpening."

There were two kits shown when I ordered. This one (a little more expensive) and the one with 4. The gray looking one (#5) in the back of the box is the one for serrated. It is in a triangular shape with the sharp edge up. I think you can order the set without the serrated and it will have the four colored ones and be a bit cheaper. I've used all but the serrated one. The set works extremely well as long as a person follows the directions.

When I ordered it said 3 piece set & that is what was delivered. All 3 tools came in one package so I cannot help with which may have been 1 or which may have been 2. they are very nice spatulas.

Not very coarse. I used it to sharpen some really old chisels. The instructions are very vague. Few words and you must be an expert in interpreting hieroglyphics. As far as coarseness goes, I can't tell which side is which. I think the lighter side is the fine side. In retrospect, I wish I had bought a water stone or a diamond sharpener (like the DMT W7EFC Diamond Whetstone for about $20. I did not have the knowledge or the cash. It's OK. I will sharpen chisels and rather nicely, but with much effort. The little bottle of oil will last quite some time. I use an old flat file to flatten the stone occasionally. Not very coarse.

Its 50 tips and 2 flower nails, the flower nail is average. Its a great set, I love it! I own a cake and cupcake shoppe and I love this kit it has every tip you need.

The set should come with two sets of triangle sharpening stones, one coarse, and one fine. It works well, but the diamond stones are separate from the standard kit.

I thought they were very generous with the number, maybe 8, that came with the kit. Half have a 'flat' spray tip, and 1/2 are 'round'. I only used the flat spray tip and only ended up using maybe half of the tips.

Yes, the kit comes with the three shown sharpening tips: pink is 7/32" (#455), brown is 3/16" (#454) and gray is 5/32" (#453)

I have the same question. How many picks are in the pack? Does "3 tips" refer to the three edges of each pick, or are there three different picks. HOW MANY? Why would this not be advertised.

My package came with the #000 ceramic blade AND a #1 ceramic blade. Nice starter combination of blades, IMO.

The tips are: 000, 261,1,2,4,6,8,10,12,230,262,15,18,21,24,26,30,32,34,96,105,199,42,133,88,98,168,44,47,46,48,150,263,68,349,352,112,61,80,100,143,401,070,090,264,101,104,127,108,136,221,225, a coupler and 2 flower nails. I hope this is helpful and sorry if the numbers aren't in order. I copy as is off the label that came with this set. Its a good set, just don't soak the tips over night as these tips/nails will rust

I use a 3 stone kit. I usually only use the medium and fine stones. I have been disappointed with my knife, it came dull, and the edge had been burned by the grinder. I sent it back thinking they would replace the blade, it came back still dull and grinder burned out near the the this time. My nephew bought one like mine and his has been awesome, maybe I just got a lemon.

This kit comes with the 3000 grit polish tape, and it has produced a very nice polish for me. I'm not sure I would say it's a "mirror finish" with the 3000 grit, but it's darn close to my untrained eyes. I've only just started using the system, so it's entirely possible that someone with steadier hands could actually put on a mirror finish, whereas I'm still learning the technique. I just ordered the 6000 grit polish tape, actually, so I will try to come back and and update when I've given it a try.

I think it means it has 6 options(carving, cutting, grinding/sharpening, cleaning/polishing, sanding, collets/miscellaneous) and 50 accessories(bits and parts). I'm not 100% sure.

A small paring knife, a small curved paring knife (great for peeling fruit), a large serrated knife, a smaller serrated knife, a large knife for chopping large things like cantaloupe, a medium knife for chopping, and an awesome pair of scissors. I use the medium knife everyday. This is an awesome set of knives; my only regret is that I didn't go bigger and get the set that has the steak knives, too!I also bought the Henckels twin duo sharpener, which works easily and wonderfully at resharpening the knives to like new condition.

There is a No. 8 but no No. 1 and 5 brushes. This set only has even numbers sorry.

All the hones I have are diamond hones, witch are the same thickness. I think just about any stone the same size, but different in thickness will work.
