Rada Cutlery Quick Edge Knife Sharpener (R119), 3.5" x 2", Stainless Steel Wheels, Pack of 3

Easy to use and very effective! The steel wheels on this sharpener put an quick edge on my carbon steel kitchen knife that allowed me to slice a tomato with no trouble. Does a faster job than the last two-notch sharpener I bought and cost less. I am not a chef, I'm a home cook, and I really appreciate a basic kitchen sharpener that does the job as simply as this one. Doesn't look fancy but seems durable, and it is compact--doesn't take up much drawer space. Figuring out how to use it is easy if you consult the package.

This is the best knife sharpener I've ever used. My knives, from pocketknives to kitchen knives are now razor sharp. Very easy to use. If your knife is really dull you have to keep pulling it through until the edge is correct. It's actually oddly satisfying to use, as you can see small shavings of metal accumulate underneath this thing. Works equally well on stainless and regular steel.

I absolutely love these sharpeners. I have three total after this purchase and I would buy more for friends and family. These sharpeners get these as sharp as my grandpa use to when he sharpened his knives by hand. I have never had another sharpener get the knives as sharp as he would. I wish I would have learned how to do it by hand from him, but these get me a close second on my own. They last for years and are extremely lightweight. I keep one in my fishing box now and we always have one in the kitchen. I know that I’m going to get my knives as sharp as I need for great cutting when I use this knife sharpener.

I want to start off by saying I’ve tried many types of sharpeners, and dozens of different brands over the years. Frustrated with every one of them, I resorted to the tried and true (and SLOW) whetstone method for the last couple years. I hate it, but it has been the only thing that works without ruining blades. I was watching YouTube one night and out of the blue the presenter casually mentioned this sharpener while cutting up a roast during a recipe video. I’d never heard the brand so I looked it up while watching. Cheap. Thirty bucks for 2 of them. Why not. I can always return it if it sucks, right? It was delivered the next morning and I grabbed a dull chefs knife and gave it a go. In about 12 slow gently pulls across the “wheels”, I checked the edge. 15 seconds is all it took and the knife was sharp. Not sharper, not slightly better… really sharp. I chopped and sliced a few things and I gotta say, I was impressed. So, I spent about 15 minutes today running through about 20 different knives. From paring knives, to cleavers and everything in-between - from straight edge, to wicked curves. The only one that wasn’t quick and fabulous was my thick bladed cleaver. It took quite a few more tries, but it is very thick and a very hard type of metal so it’s always sharpened slower. However, it came out wicked sharp. I can confirm this tiny little “toy-like” sharpener, that looks like it was built using a truck stop gift shop build-by-number baggie of parts actually is pretty great.

It's expensive for some metal washers fastened to some plastic but it's the best knife sharpener that I've ever owned and it has a life-time warranty on all the parts and assembly. The cheaper nockoff brand has some bad reviews so I got this one. My mom bought the same one over fifteen years ago and it still work great. If ain't broken don't fix it. You might be able to make a homemade one with a block of wood, a couple of washers, and two screw. But if you want to spend the money, this thing's great.

I purchased this based on the reviews here and on videos I saw on YouTube. How this knife sharpener works is beyond my understanding, but it absolutely works. No files, no grit, no motor. Just two round metal washers. Wow. I took the advice of someone who did a video on YouTube, and I also purchased a strop since he said these night leave a bit of burr, especially if you don't apply light pressure evenly as you're passing it through. I never had a strop, But between it and this sharpening device, I ran a paring knife across a piece of paper and it cut like I was using a razor blade. I've never done the knife test on paper with that result. Just amazing.

Best sharpener ever made: Simple and easy to use.

My experience with a look alike was really poor. This one sharpens perfectly.

Very good middle of the ground sharpening. It wont be the sharpest knife in existence but for the price and ease of use it's great for an average household kitchen.

Materialwert unter 1 Euro: kleines Plastikteil mit 2 Blechscheiben. Und funktioniert nicht. Habe nach Video Tutorials auf YT versucht mehrere Messer zu schärfen - ohne Erfolg. Musste es deshalb zurücksenden. Die guten Bewertungen sind m.E. überhaupt nicht nachvollziehbar.

I can now write a review after using the Rada sharpener! Wow! Great product to sharpen your knives. I have used another brand but found it left rough looking edges and a few noticeable shavings but with the Rada it had really fine shavings that wasn’t to noticeable and the edges were smooth and really sharp. Not bulky and fits in a drawer nicely. It was a great buy in my opinion. See for yourself!

The ADA Cutlery R119 Knife Sharpener 3pack arrived next busy day. I was able to sharpen all our knifes quickly. The 3 pack sharpener is good price for the value!

Kinda pricey but absolutely the best knife sharpener we have ever used and I first started buying these for friends and using since 1993! Before this sharpener I could never get my Henkel set sharp enough. My husband keeps one in his tackle box for his filet knife.
