Customer Reviews for Henckels - Handheld Knife Sharpener (vertical packaging) - Silver

This was a free gift with the purchase of the 7 piece knife set. I haven’t used it yet, but I’m sure it’s as awesome as the knife set I bought. I can say I love the design and ergonomics of it. Will update later if it doesn’t live up to the expectations of the knives.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does not sharpen as intended. Instructions clear but drawing knives through product doesn’t produce a sharp edge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dull knives are not only unsafe but slow down prep time, mangle the food and who wants that!

Perfect Addition

We received a Henckels knife set almost 3yrs ago for a wedding gift and have had no luck with other sharpeners. We finally found this one today in-store and were IMMEDIATELY impressed! Our knives have new life and are as sharp as the day we received them. Definitely would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good great. Very stable. I have had Henkle kitchen knife’s for over 30 years. This sharpener is a great addition and makes keeping my Henckel blades sharp very easy.

No more tomato paste when trying to slice tomatoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sharpener is very easy to use, it doesn't clutter up the counter like the large electric ones and it does its jobs by getting your knives sharp and feeling freshly forged by a blacksmith.
I would recommend this to a friend!
