 Barely better than nothing June 12, 2008
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I don't know if it's the angle that this product creates, or what, but my knives go dull very quickly after using this sharpener.
I bought this sharpener based on the reviews here on Amazon. And the first time I used it, I was impressed: a few swipes with the sharpener and my Cutco knives seemed to work great. After a few days, however, it became obvious that the sharpness does not last long. After sharpening a knife with this gadget, it seems good for the next cutting job, but the next day, it feels like a hacksaw and I find myself needing to use the sharpener again and again.
I'm back to using my flat stone. A few swipes on the stone and my knives stay sharp for several, even many, days.
If you can't use a sharpening stone, this might be better than nothing--barely.
 It works!! May 27, 2008

I purchased this based on a review in Cook's Illustrated. I was surprised how well just a cheap product worked. I used it about once a week and my knifes stay very sharp.

I have been searching for a replacement for my sharpening stones now for ages. I've run through maybe 5 different sharpening systems all of which worked more or less well. Nothing worked as well as my series of oil stones but I wanted to find some sort of shortcut which didn't take as long or put me out in the garage for a half hour every week.
This is the first system I'd say equals oil stones. It's one of those delightful surprises which comes along rather rarely. Low cost and also operates as promised. If you want to get really picky - no - this doesn't equal exactly that super fine edge I get with the hardest of my oil stones but that edge only lasts a few cuts anyway. Back here in the real world, this works every bit as well and is much faster, easier, and also fun to use.
After your initial cut, you only need a few strokes to get your knives back to that honed edge sharpness. Low cost, ease of use - what more can you ask for?
Excellent! May 15, 2008

I bought one of these not expecting much, however iv been pleasantly surprised. A few moderate pressure strokes and my blades were completely revived. Its not so sharp it will slice your finger off just by touching, but its sharp enough to slice your skin deep enough to severely bleed with just a light stroke. iv got the cuts and nicks on my hands to prove it. definitely respect your blade after using this sharpener.
Inexpensive great product!!! May 9, 2008

When I first purchased this item, my mom said it was a bad decision. Yet, when I got it, she was proved wrong!!! I bet most knife sharpeners wouldn't be able to sharpen my knife that hasn't been sharpened in like two years up to that point. When I used this simple, simple, idiot-proof contraption, it was sharpened very easily and in not that much time. So if you want a knife sharpener for as little money as possible you're best off buying this thing.
