Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is for the person that wants a sharp knife fast and doesn’t treat sharpening as an art. If you own all the Shaptons and micro abrasive honing films, skip this sharpener, you won’t like it, it’s too practical. On the other hand, if you want to actually cut something besides paper and hair with your knives this sharpener will deliver. It’s carbide, it’s only slightly less hard than diamond. It doesn’t matter what exotic steel your knife is made of. This will sharpen it. What I really like about this sharpener is the fact that it has more than the standard 22 degree angle. You have a choice of several angles that will let you pick what you need for the knife and task at hand. A fillet knife and a hatchet need different sharpening angles and this sharpener will do both. Use a light touch. Carbide pull through sharpeners get a bad name from ham fisted neanderthals that push down and pull the knife through like they are pull starting a lawn mower. If you have a pile of shredded steel under the sharpener you are using it wrong. You can literally rest the knife on the carbide and pull, that is all the pressure that is needed for the carbide to sharpen your knife. I have diamond, India, Arkansas and Coticule and find no reason to use them any longer for my knives. This does the job much quicker. Get this sharpener, use a light touch and enjoy using your knife.
