Joseph Joseph Rota Folding Knife Sharpener and Honer Red

This sharpener exceeds my expectations. My last sharpener - honing tool, really - was a Wusthof and lasted probably 7-8 years. It was rather expensive at the time I bought it, but hey - look at the brand name. It took up a lot of space in my drawer, helped somewhat to keep my knives honed between sharpenings, and finally fell apart one day while I was using it. I'd looked for a replacement in upscale kitchen equipment stores, but hadn't found anything. So when I saw this one, I thought 'why not'. I'm delighted! When it arrived in the mail and I felt it for the first time, I thought 'nothing this light will work'. But I'm a believer! The sharpening wheels are ceramic, so they won't rust out like the Wusthof. The sharpening process actually sharpened my knives. And I love the way the tool folds up to conserve valuable drawer space. It's also distinctly colored so I can quickly lay my hands on it quickly - doesn't get lost in there. I plan to buy one or two more as stocking stuffers this year Read more

Extremely helpful in my kitchen. No more hunting down the husband to sharpen my knives. Love that it folds up small for placing inside the drawer. Works well and very nice quality. Read more

Love this device, it stores easily and it has sharpened my knives from the rotating Joseph Joseph set. It does not sharpen serrated knives (is there any knife sharpener that does)? but it worked just great on the chopping and paring knives which get the most use. Read more

This company combines great design ingenuity with utility to produce products that are attractive and incredibly useful. I bought this knife sharpener and went to another store and bought two different sizes of their cutting boards--outstanding too. The knife sharpener open for use, then folds back to provide a space-saving unit. Read more

I expected this to be much better quality for the money, looks nice, but is very cheap plastic and not well constructed. Read more

Sharpens great, it doesn’t last but it’s quick to re sharpen Read more

I was a bit skeptical of this sharpener, but it turned out to be really great. Cleverly designed and the 2 grooves give you a course and fine option depending on how dull/damaged your knives may be. Swivel handle let's it fit nicely in a drawer also. It was also higher quality than expected - it's plastic, but it has a very precise, solid build quality to it. Love it. Read more
