Just gave this to my partner as a gift and he loves it! Within minutes of unboxing we figured it out and started working on some knives we’ve had forever. Super excited that it works well for scissors too!
I love this sharpener. It is the best one I have ever purchased and used. The grip combined with the anti-slip bottom make it stable when using for short or long knifes. It produced an excellent edge on my 40+ years old Zwilling J.A.Henckels No Stain Friodur knives. Likewise it produces a great edge on my Asian carbon steel knives purchased 50+ years ago in China. All it took was 2-3 pulls on coarse side followed by 2-3 pulls on the fine side to produce the desired edge on Standard and Asian knives. It out performs the highly rated electric sharpeners I have owned.
