5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for a quick, razor-sharp knife - a must for Global users, 30 May 2008
By James Simpson (London, England) - See all my reviews
I bought one of these because I was tired with dragging out the whetstones each time my knives needed sharpening. I was surprised that this actually produced a far sharper blade than I could with a big whetstone set.

This version will take a knife from completely blunt to razor sharp with very little effort. You could probably do the classic Samurai silk scarf test on a Minosharp sharpened Global knife but it is a little impractical in the kitchen. A reasonable-sized global knife sharpened on one of these should drop through a tomato under its own weight easily.

One slight niggle (too small to dent the five star rating) - it does make a few small scratches on the knife blade. These are no worse than the general wear-and-tear marks they'll pick up with any moderate use and it shouldn't put you off.

If you use Global knives this is a must. Because it is so little effort, you'll keep your knives sharper and thus safer. Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars shinkansen knife sharpener, 8 Jul 2003
HAVING FOUND THE RANGE OF GLOBAL KNIVES, THIS IS FAR THE BEST FOR KEEPING THE BLADE OF THE KNIVES AT THEIR SHARPEST, ITS SAFE TO USE, BETTER THAN THE CERAMIC STONE.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only one you'll ever need, 12 Jan 2008
By Dr. J. D. Mitchell "Jon Mitchell" (Plymouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fabulous, easy to use and highly effective knife sharpener. This is the best I have ever owned. Forget expensive sharpening stones and those little cheap Kitchen Devil gadgets that lead you to lose your digits, this knife sharpener is effectively the only one you'll ever need.

At last a sharpener that doesn't require me to have an eye for geometry and a surgeon's steadiness of hand to get a decent edge! Read more

I used the sharpner to sharpen my fairly blunt knives. The sharpner did ok, in that my knives now cut, but I wouldn't say they are razer sharp.
