Features

  • Fastest and easiest way to sharpen any knife. Patented spring action bars invented in Austria by a master knife maker make sharpening foolproof. Precision ground tungsten-carbide safely sharpens all types of knives including serrated and high-quality Damascus knives. Solid stainless steel base.
  • The precision tungsten-carbide sharpeners made in Austria auto-adjust to the angle of the knife blade. Control the angle from 12 degrees for a super-sharp fillet knife to 20 degrees for a rugged chopping blade.
  • Sharpen, re-align, or polish knives just by changing the angle of the blade. Professionals use a chefs steel to realign and maintain a sharp cutting edge, but this skill takes much practice. Get the same results even faster with this triple-action sharpener. The tungsten-carbide presses the knife edge into alignment at the correct angle. Works equally on straight and serrated blades to maintain sharpness.
  • Safe to use with the finest knives. Re-align edges before they roll over and dull. Polish a micro-bevel on the finest cutlery without fear of damaging blades. These two steps will keep knives razor sharp without removing any metal. Directions printed on bottom.

  • Great Shapener
Material Type: Stainless Steel Size: Original
I've been looking for a kitchen knife sharpener off and on for years. This one finally caught my eye and the order was placed. It arrived with easy to understand instructions (as there is some technique involved with successfully using this tool). Knives I thought were hopeless turned out to be fabulous. The only downside to this tool is that it's made in China instead of the USA. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. ... show more

  • Works well
Material Type: Nylon Size: Original
Overall the sharpener works well, I didn’t give it 5 stars because the honing function doesn’t seem to work as well as the sharpening functions.

  • It works, but is it worth the cost?
Material Type: Nylon Size: Original
I made a mistake and bought this after trying to cancel my order for another sharpener of a similar style that was about half the price. Well, The first didn't get cancelled, I used it, then I got this one. Long story short, I'm stuck with two sharpeners of similar design. I'll have to give one away, but it gave me a unique opportunity to compare them side by side. So I'm just going to tell you a few things about both, and you can make up your mind about which is a better fit for you: The most important thing is, they both work great. The other, cheaper one I got did just as good of a job as this one at sharpening, and now, all my knives are pretty scary. I was very impressed with the performance of this style of sharpener. I'm sure that you could do better with stones, but I don't know how to do that, and honestly I don't have any use for a sharper blade than these will create. They take dull knives and turn them into deadly knives in about thirty seconds, so, kudos on all counts. To get a better idea for how good these are, I've also got a chintzy little sharpener that uses rods to sharpen. I sharpened a dull knife in that, and it would barely cut paper. Then, AFTER sharpening the knife in that, I sharpened it in one of these, and the thing cuts paper very well now. It's just a superior design, in my opinion. So with that out of the way, now we get into the details. Like I said, this style of sharpener definitely works, no matter how much you pay for it, so the question is, would I buy this one again, or would I go the cheaper route? Well, looking at the two, this one's (I'll call it the Classic from now on) base is made of tough nylon (a very strong, durable plastic that you can make gears and tools out of), and is formed into a nice shape. It looks pretty good, has a classy matte finish, and I think it will hold up well, despite being plastic. However, the other one (I'll call it the X1 from now on) has a metal base, and while the finish isn't as nice (you can see some lines in the casting that shouldn't be there), I have to give the win to the X1 on that front, but only by a little bit. If the Classic had a metal base it'd beat the X1 in my book. Now, that said, I'm of the opinion that everything else about the Classic is better; the arms look nicer and better formed, they look like they're stronger and the pinions holding them up are better quality than the X1. The Classic is smoother to use, and I have a feeling that the cutting edges are much better on the Classic as well. Just from the design you can tell they put more care into the SHARPENING part of the Classic, and they put more care into the BASE part of the X1. Conclusion: I think that the Classic will hold up better than the X1, but I don't think it's necessarily worth twice the price. The X1 does everything the Classic can, and I can't see myself wearing out either of them any time soon. I think if you want a functional sharpener, either is a good choice. If you are going to sharpen everyday, you will probably get more out of the Classic. If you're just going to use it every so often, you will get equal performance if you go the cheaper route and buy a different one of similar design. There are several reviews on the X1 that have pictures showing the arms have broken, while the Classic hasn't had many negative reviews. However, the Classic has about 1/10th the amount of reviews, so take it with a grain of salt. Personally, I like the Classic better, and I'm going to give away the X1. Also, I think the X1 is made in China, and I've been trying to cut back on that lately. Thanks for reading! Hope it helps! ... show more

Takes a bit of getting used to! Need to practice on this one. Holding the knife to get the edging needed takes practice. Once fine tuned it works great! Loving it!
