 Junk July 28, 2010

I cant believe all the good reviews on this. I bought it based on the reviews and dont get it. This thing is junk. Ok, it sharpens slightly better than dull, but thats it. It also leaves a really rough chewed up edge. I tried it on thin kitchen knives, a pocket knife and a hunting knife. Same results, junk!
 Anyone who doesn't rate this a 4 or 5 doesn't understand fine cutlery July 28, 2010

Some of the few negative reviews of this product seem to complain that their knife doesn't hold an edge beyond a few uses. Well, to keep the razor sharp edge that this product puts on a piece of high quality cutlery will require frequent sharpening. Ever seen a barber who has to use the razor strop every time he gives a shave - same principle. If you're using cheap knives, then don't expect this to be a miracle worker. You need high quality carbon steel to take the proper edge. Used on the right kind of knife, I can skin a tomato with the edge this leaves behind!
I've used professional powered sharpeners with a three stage process that can't put a better edge than this little hand held device. I keep one in my tool box, one in the kitchen and one in my tackle box. We give them at Christmas as presents and get rave reviews from the recipients. You might get the same finish with a stone and an hours worth of work but why would you?

I have owned two of these. The first lasted over ten years and still sharpened great. I'm not sure what people are doing wrong, but this knife sharpener works great and lasts a long time.
Amazing!!!!! July 23, 2010
I bought this sharpener for my dulled out knife that i've had for about a year and it was amazing!!! you could sharpen a knife by 4x in 20 seconds. for the price, the sharpener is the best around!
Greatness July 23, 2010

I don't see why some people said it doesn't work. Obviously they're using it wrong, because I followed the instructions on the back of the package and it sharpens all my knives very well. If you need a good, cheap sharpener, this is definitely the one to get. I'm interested to see how long this sharpener lasts, but as long as it works it's 5 stars.
