If you are looking for and easy way to keep your knives sharp, this is a great tool. Just glide the blade through each one of the slots, and your knife is magically transformed. Feels great to have sharp knives every time. Use this for both my German and Japanese knives, works on both!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good: + Very easy to sharpen a knife + Great for Japanese edge knives because it is designed to sharpen at 10° angle on each side of the edge + Excellent value for the money + Sharpens even non-Japanese knives to a very sharp edge. + In this price range, you can't go wrong with this sharpener. I've purchased few other sharperners but non of them come close to this one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the feel of the sharpener. It makes my life easy, I know I don’t have to worry about keeping my knives razor sharp. This will allow me to take good care of my investment in my knives!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] from the steel to the cost, the value to quality is here. When you pick up this knife, you can feel the quality. One slice and you're hooked and at about 60 % of other knives in carbide steel , you can't go wrong. You'll enjoy working with the ergonomic handle. This knife can be used for hours without tiring.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Someone used my high-end knives multiple times to cut things on glass surfaces... the knives had several small chips along the edge. I was able to completely restore the edge with this sharpener and now they’re just as sharp as they were when new!
