Picked up this 5 in 1 utensil sharpener, and immediately went to work with it. The old dull knives we have were sharpened with little to NO effort. 7 strokes coarse, 7 strokes fine and our basic kitchen knives felt professional. I chose the sharpener as a test to see their quality and after seeing its performance, I may have to stock up my arsenal with some more of their products.
