This is still going strong and makes even the bluntest knife sharper than when new.
Well worth the money as its saved me money in not buying new knives

I bought this sharpener as my mother also has it and I was envious of how sharp and precise her knives were. So we're clear, we both have high regarded brands of knives and we both use steels regularly. This sharpener however is well worth the money. It sharpens scalloped knives, serrated knives and regular bladed knives as well. I think that it is better with chef, paring, vegetable knives than say your average carving knife. I would continue to use this with a steel/file but maybe that is out of habit rather than necessity.

As easy as cutting warm butter...
31 Aug 2001
Why did I ever use the elbow greese and stone methode to sharpen my knives? I recieved this sharpener as a gift. setup was easy I just pulled it out of the box made a couple of miner settings then pluged it in. In a matter of minutes I was shapening my dull kitchen knives. The sharpening action is very easy, just run the knife through the first slot a few time then through the second slot a few more and with the aid of the electric motor my knives come out sharper then when new. I've used this sharpener 40 or so times now and it still puts a fantastic edge on my knives. This sharpener would've been well worth my investment with just the time I save not having to sharpen by hand, had I bought it for myself. It does it's job well.

Great knife sharpener!
10 Jan 2006
You must read the instructions and follow them to get the knack
of making "new" knife blades out of old. It took a bit to get my
extremely dull knives sharpened, but now they are fantastic!
I sharpened tiny paring knives up to my chinese cleaver and was
pleased with the super sharp results.
Make sure you allow the blades to align with the magnetic edge,
do the passes according to instructions and you won't be sorry.
Sorry Amazon doesn't have a better price, I actually found cheaper by $40.00 in Manhattan, still the price is good compared to some of the models I priced out at that big box store on 6th Avenue. My husband can't believe this sharpener delivers the goods without the addition of oil and water during sharpening.

Superbly Sharp!
23 Feb 2008
I've been sharpening knives since I was a kid, but got really tired of hand sharpening kitchen knives everytime a family member cut through something on a ceramic plate (seemed like daily). I was really skeptical of any motorized sharpener, especially as costly as these are, but most of the reviews were good so I purchased one. I am so pleased. Don't try to use one of these without reading the directions...they have specific steps to follow that are not always obvious, even to those of us used to hand sharpening. And, like others have said, the first sharpening takes a while in order to correct the angle of the blade. Once you're there, you feel a huge burr/curl form on the edge, then you hone, and the knife will get extremely sharp. I have a large bald spot on my arm now where I tested the knives.
I really like the blade guides. They're not perfect in holding the blade, but are good enough to give you the idea of how to hold & draw the knife. Some have commented on scratch marks that are left on the sides of the blades. I got them my first try, then realized if I was more careful in holding the blade true to the angle guide, it didn't happen. As a word of warning, if you order one with a metal exterior it adds about $20.00 to the price. White plastic saves you money and doesn't have anything to do with functionality.
