Kitchen Knife Sharpener - Complete 3-stage Knife Sharpener CS-T01 with Diamond Dust Rods Sturdy Design Non-slip Base Pat

Directions have illustrated directions on how to sharpen knife (which I cut out and taped to the bottom of the Cubikook Kitchen Knife Sharpener for future reference, placed between the feet). Put a nice working edge on several kitchen knives, makes prepping meals easier with a sharp blade. The sharpener rests flat on the countertop and the handle is a good size. Not a lot of force is needed to hold the sharpener firmly onto the countertop while sharpening a knife. Fingers are well away from the sharpening action. I like this Cubikook Sharpener, works well and is easy to use. I feel like I got a good value for the money. Read more

This knife sharpener will keep your knives alive. No matter how dull or damaged the blade is, with a few passes through each successive sharpening stone, the blade is revived will enough to be sharp and reliable again. Often, one only has to use the fine stone just to "freshen up" a blade. It's quick and easy to use. Read more

I bought this for my mother after listening to her complaining about her dull knives. It is easy to use and gets a good result. It is sturdy but lightweight. Read more

The knife sharpener looks like it should do the job, but I have tried to sharpen 6 knives (carving and French) and while the sharpener did a good job on three, the other three seemed to get worse. It is not a matter of 'user error' as I know how to use these things. I am not sure what the problem could be. I do know that somes steel knives won't take an edge, but these are good quality knives. That is my experience. I may go back to a sharpening stone. Read more

Fresh out of college with not a lot of money in the bank, luckily I came across this knife sharpener. This knife sharpener has all the features one could be looking for without breaking the bank. Compared to the ones I saw in the shopping mall this one is inexpensive and I thought I would give it a try given the price. I am happy with the purchase as it does exactly the same, if not better than what the other higher cost ones. Having been using cheap dull knives, I could not believe how well this knife sharpener was able to sharpen the knives to new again. I was barely able to slice through tomatoes without smashing the tomatoes and now it slices through tomatoes with ease. Read more

I use this not only for my kitchen knives but also for my pocket knives. Works great and love the no-slip bottom which makes it easier to keep in place. Great purchase and highly recommend for anyone who needs to keep work knives, pocket knives, and kitchen knives sharp. Love the design and it is small enough that it can be stored in my kitchen drawer with my silverware. Read more

I chose three knives from our drawer that were all of the same make and material but of somewhat different blade shape--nothing fancy, just basic kitchen knives, about 8 -10 inches long. I read the instructions on the box. Before sharpening the knives, I tested them by drawing each one of them across the edge of a paper towel to see if they would cut into the paper. None did, but one seemed to almost do it. After sharpening the knife on the Chef Sharpener a few times, I was able to get it to cut into the edge of the paper. With the other two, it was more difficult. After sharpening them about ten times (i.e., about five stroke passes in each slot, then about five five stroke passes in slots two and three), I was able to get one of the two duller knives to cut into the edge of the paper. Therefore, I would say that the Sharpener works pretty well; but if your knife is rather dull, it is likely to take several more strokes than are suggested by the instructions. Read more
