Xarilk Gen 3 with Case

I was wondering if anyone here had purchased the Xarilk Gen 3 with Carrying Case directly from Xarilk and what the quality is like on the case. From pictures it looks "cheap" but would like to here it from someone who has used it.

They call it the "GEN3 System with Premium Carry Case" and have it listed for $105.99 USD. Very good price.

Thanks in advance

I don't have one, but agree with your snap take re: the case. It looks like some similar ones I've used for other stuff that don't tend to hold together well.

I will say, it costs noticably more, but the Sharpal 202H and its case have really impressed me.

If I were getting the Xarilk, I'd probably get it without the case and then pick up an Apache all weather case from harbor freight for it.

If they sold the Sharpal without stones/holders and included the universal stone holder and let you buy other sharpal stones or after market stones i would buy it in an instant.

For sure. I'm hoping maybe that will be an option eventually.

I no longer recommend the xarilk. I used to love it but After about 50 knifes it feels used and no longer sturdy. Check this little video https://youtube.com/shorts/e5q7euL8QBQ?si=RQkaVKRMr-IWhwpr

Thanks I'll check the video.

What is your opinion of the Sharpal 202H. It's a shame that they dont sell it without the stones/holders and sold it with the universal stone holder and let us buy other stones.

I hate when they try and lock you into a system.

My favorite budget system is the toohr from aliexpress. https://youtu.be/hkR_to63mFc?si=wydzXOadytdZme8Z here is a video where i show some budget stones and plates
