I never owned a knife sharpener before and was wary of anything which would require me to hold the blade at a specific angle. This sharpener had angled slots to control how the blade hit the wheel. It was extremely easy to use and very quickly sharpened the blade on my 8-inch chef's knife.
We sharpen our Henckles regularly and received this knife sharpener as a gift. Tried it the first time and have used it ever since. I sharpen all the knives at once then my husband puts the fine edge on them with a steel. You only have to run the knife once or twice over the steel and watch out. Bought one as a gift because we liked our's so much.
I HAVE LOOKED AT AND TRIED SEVERAL KNIFE SHARPENERS. SO WHY NOT ONE MORE?? WHEN THE SHARPENER ARRIVED I WAS SUPRISED AT ITS WEIGHT...GOOD! I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AS ADVISED AND THEN I RETREIVED THE OLD CHEAP KNIFE THAT I LOVE. I SHARPENED & HONED IT AND THEN TRIED IT OUT ON A RANDOM POTATO...WOW IS THIS A NEW KNIFE??? THEN I CUT "THE TOMATO", A TRUE TEST, MY CHEAP KNIEF SLICED RIGHT THROUGH THE TOUGH SKIN. I USED MY BELOVED KNIFE THIS MORNING (3 WEEKS LATER) IT IS STILL SHARP! I HAVE NOW SENT ONE TO MY DAUGHTER AND BROTHER IN LAW. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THAT WE AGREE ON IS THAT IT IS LOUD WHEN YOU FIRE IT UP BUT WITH THE RESULTS WE HAVE SEEN HOW OFTEN IS THAT GOING TO BE? ALSO DON'T PUSH DOWN TOO HARD WHEN YOU ARE SHARPENING OR THE MOTOR WILL DRAG. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
I like my sharpener. It was exactly what I wanted and expected. My only comment is the knives don't seem to maintain their level of sharpness. It's highly possible it's user error. However, I am satisfied. It's easy to use and takes up little space on the countertop.
The wife wanted ceramic knives, but there were too many negative reviews related to brittleness of the edge, so I decided to look into electric knife sharpeners instead. We have good sets of Chicago Cutlery and J.A. Henckels from our wedding 30 years ago and only a few have been professionally sharpened...dropping them off for sharpening and picking them up is a nuisance. After reading a few of the positive reviews of this sharpener, I gave it a try...and was not disappointed when I first used it. I produced an acceptable edge on a 30-year old knife that had never been properly sharpened in only a short time...and then I took some time to refine the edge and produced a really sharp blade!! One thing I noticed...pay attention to the directions - draw the blade towards you at the speed they recommend or you may end up with micro serations on the blade (seen with a magnifying glass)...apparently the grinding (and less so the honing) wheel contact on the blade is narrow and you need to draw the blade towards you quickly to produce a smooth and straight edge...don't worry though the micro serations can be removed, it just takes a little more time. A real value for the price.
Based my purchase on the previous reviews, very pleased. Yes, read the instructions, I first ran the knife through too fast, had to slow down and make sure it was parallel to the table, easy does it. My knives have never been so sharp!
