Professional Knife Sharpening Guide, Random Knife Sharpener Angle Guide, Sharpening Guide for Whetstone, Black(2 Pack)

I used this for the first time. My knives are sharper than they have been in years. I love it. It make sharping fast and easy.

Puts the knife at the perfect angle to get a razorblade sharpening quality!!

They work.........sorta. I got these about half a year ago so I could try to learn how to sharpen my kitchen cutlery properly, and here's the thing about them. If you're not moving the guide around depending on what part of the blade you're sharpening, the angle is changing. And what is it that they always tell you is paramount in sharpening? Angle consistency. So you're not really doing yourself any favors with this. You'll never truly get the tip of a gyuto sharpened properly with this thing. On top of that, you'll scratch up your knife near the spine with a bunch of marks uncharacteristic of using your knife. You know how some people like character marks on their property? Well, this is like deliberately kicking a giant dent in your car door and calling it character mark. I mean, sure, you can call it that. I call it unnecessary. I also found that using this crutch didn't really give me a good feel on what a proper knife-to-stone angle should feel like. So what would I recommend instead of this thing if you want to sharpen your own knives? Head down to Wally World or your local grocery store and pick up a cheapo Chicago Cutlery or Oneida or something you won't care if it gets scratched up to hell (I use a Kuma that I picked up off of Amazon). Then head over to YouTube and look up videos on how to sharpen (Burrfection on YouTube has some great tutorials). Scratch up that knife while learning to sharpen it and don't feel bad about it, because you get better at it every time you do it.

I'm surprised I didn't invest in one of these sooner. Used it on multiple knives, including of course my two chef's knives, a pairing knife, and even my pocket knife (a bit difficult with such a small blade but achieved some decent results). All of my kitchen knives are now ridiculously a lot sharper than they've ever been. Some say it damaged their knives but I really don't see how. Slip it on through the tip of the knife while holding it by the spine and you're good to go. Not a single mark was left when I was done. I only wish that it came with two of different angles instead of two 10-degree guides but I suppose it's not a bad idea to have a backup or a spare to give away to a friend. For $10 I'm happy. If the seller offers this in different angles so I can sharpen my Japanese blades I'd definitely place another order.

I guess for most peope it may not be a biggie. But I sharpen 14 inch long blades. Yes 14 inch blade. And I need 3 of these. The problem is is that they send u each guide with TWO small ceramic glides in each side and these small glides catch the edge of the stone and interrupt a smooth stroke. Does that make sense to u ? So (if there was only one long ceramic glide on each side) instead of having only two glides possibly catching the edge of the stone, with the ones they sent me I now have FIVE glide corners that catch on the stones edge. THATS A ROYAL PAIN. I just cant get a smooth steady sharpening stroke. THEY ARE USELESS. O by the way my stones are 3"x8" so they are the biggest I found (and willing to pay for) lol I will update as soon as the "new" ones come. Dave C. Stout

A bit of a pain to get on to the knife and the plastic scrapes away easily when installed. The ceramic inserts were round when I began, but are flat and I haven't even finished the kife. I can not recommend them for creating a new edge profile, which you'll almost certainly have to do unless you're lucky enough for it to align perfectly with your knife's edge.

The plastic holder fits over your knife , to sharpen at the right angle. No fuss of being off. I've bridge it and works well . Don't forget to get a good vegetable oil to use in your better knives , to coat them.

Ok I guess. Could fit tighter on the knife blade
