While I find this product to be quite well made and very stable on my countertop, I am not convinced of its sharpening capabilities. I decided to sharpen an older knife from my drawer and in all honesty, found the blade to be duller than it was prior to “sharpening”. I will continue to practice on other knives before I try using it on my new Henkel set
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback!
We’re glad to hear you found the sharpener well made and stable. Knife sharpening can take a little practice, especially depending on the blade’s condition and angle. We recommend starting with light, even strokes and allowing the sharpener to gradually restore the edge. We hope with continued use it delivers the results you’re looking for and if you run into any issues, please feel free to reach out for more assistance.

Verified Purchase:Yes
After using this sharpener not only were my knives not sharp but they seemed more dull than before sharpening with this tool. The directions were followed. After sharpening, the knives would not cut cleanly through a tomato or an onion. The knives performed poorly on many other food items as well.
