[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried it on a couple older knives, it seemed to work. Not as sharp as I'd like them but did make a significant difference. Didn't like that it sort of does move or rock while using it as opposed to staying put as it's supposed to.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with my new sharpener. Not only will it sharpen my knives, I can use it on my shears! I love my swilling knives, I have had them for over 35 years.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been trying to sharpen my Santoku knife for some time and used a whetstone to handheld sharpeners and the blade never reached that sharpness. I used the Henckels Asian rough and smooth slots and my blade is razor sharp. I then sharpened my Henckels blade with the standard slots and the blade was tuned up to be very sharp. Very easy to use and solid construction. Trust me I’ve used plenty of different sharpeners and this is a good one to have in the kitchen.
