This sharpener works very nicely. Puts a nice clean edge on your knife with virtually no labor. Don't push the knife to sharpen it, as it works without any pressure to speak of. Of course you have to hold it on the edge of the unit, but since it works so effortlessly, there is no need to work hard at it. My pocket knife was the first I tried it on. Nice and sharp after only a few stokes. It would make an EXCELLENT gift for your 'special cook' you know. You would not be sorry purchasing this unit! Great price for a nice product. Read more

Before you read this, don't throw away the box, it has your instructions on it. Also, do not press hard with this product. I think some people get the dullness from this. This works with a light to regular weight, no need for hard pressing. Also, when I did my first knife, I chipped it, thats because I didn't read the instructions. Only one goes back and forth and thats the one with the lightest touch and you have to hold the swings apart., other than that the knife pointing down or up is only in one direction. Would I buy this again? Yes, I researched for a long time electronic to manual. Looked at all reviews, and stumbled across this one. What sold me was it doesn't shave off your knife and I have expenisve ones I want to keep for as long as possible and it conforms to your knife so you don't have to guess about an angle. Bonus, uses serrated knives as well. Read more

A bit smaller than I had imagined from the ad, but very efficient at bringing all my kitchen knives (from paring knife, to de-boner, to butcher knife, to Chef's knife, to cleaver) back to razor sharpness. Much easier to use than hand-helds or whet stones, merely pull the knife through the device several times and the strong springs provide just the right amount of tension to bring out a dazzling edge. It has already paid for itself by restoring the edges to my knives. I most pleased with it. It comes in a nice box and would be suitable for gifting. Read more

Got this a few months back. I ended up using 2 quick clamps and a pad to mount it firmly to my dining room table. Once I got started it was almost addictive. You need to feel the drag-the friction. You can feel where the sharpener is cutting and where the blade is already sharp and is just sliding through. When you get the sale pull from but to tip you are there. Don't apply much pressure, simply glide the blade evenly and consistently through the stroke. All 2 edge sharpeners like this leave a burr on the knife edges I use a fine grit sharpening rod to put the finishing touch. A near razor sharp edge on all my knives. REMEMBER-that consistent drawing action, until the friction feels the sale hilt to tip is the key. I started with oil whetstone as a kid, and 50 years later this is my favorite sharpener. A dull knife is worthless and much more dangerous that a sharp knife properly applied. Highly recommended from a 50 year knife guy. Read more

I have purchased multiple sharpeners over the years and then ended up throwing them out because they simply didn't get the results I wanted. Many of them are just too difficult to get the angles right. This is dead simple, I ran several of my knives through it first to sharpen (knife pointed down) then to refine the edge (knife pointed up) and lastly to hone and polish the blade (knife flat) and wow. Just amazing results. It took less than three minutes at most to work on some damaged blades that wouldn't cut and now they're back to new and ready to rock and roll. Inexpensive, small and purely brilliant. Read more
