Knife Sharpener Tool with Self-Adjusting, Stainless Steel Tungsten Carbide | Manual Pull-Through Knife Sharpening for Kitchen Knives Helps Repair Sharpens, Hones, Polish Blades

I bought this back in 2019, 5 years ago. As my wife and I both are avid hunters and we butcher our own meat, this knife sharpener keeps all our blades nice and super sharp. Even now, 5 years later, I can put a razor edge on my Chicago knives. So sharp, they can cut through a tomato like hot butter. When using a knife around bone, that can dull the knife edge quickly. Just a 3 or 4 swipes through the sharpener and that knife is razor sharp again. No sharpener I have had, in my 66 years, has been able to be used on our hunting knives, they have much thicker blades. This sharpener puts a keen edge on them in a minute or two. A most amazing unit for sure. Its amazing how long this sharpener has lasted, and we use it a lot! I may just buy another one of these, in case they become unavailable in the future just to be sure I have another. Very well built with strong stand. I highly recommend for kitchen and hunting knives both.

I have been hand sharpening knives since a young boy in the late 50s. I’m not sure how many stones of all types and systems I have? This tool replaces them all. The proper use of the carbide blocks does the job. This small tool has an all metal frame and feels sturdy not cheap, you will be making razors out of blades before you know it. Very fair price and no stones to change or replace. I will buy more for gifts. 04/20/19 to date I have bought 6 of these, 3 as gifts. Still amazed how quickly and nicely they put on an edge that is very sharp. For max edge the last step is to very gently polish the edge to burnish it like using a steel. 04/26/19. I have gotten even better with these. The best last step is to gently, using almost just the weight of the knife, polish the tiny burrs off the blade edge.

Good value and easy to use. I sharpened all my knives as soon as it arrived, from my cleaver to paring knife. Works great! I’m happy to have sharp knives again, so quickly & easily!

This is absolutely amazing!!!! Works so well, my chefs knife is as sharp as when they were new!!!!! But it!!!

I purchased this sharpener for my husband to use. It is easy to use. The size is nice as it can be used and then easily stored away. It is lightweight. I like I idea of extending the life of our knives. I feel like it is good quality. The knives are quite sharp when used.

Although I have not yet given this product a very thorough tryout, I must say that it is easy to use but the sharpness of my knives was not as great as I had expected. I can get more sharpness when I just hand-sharpen with the round hand tool that often is included with a good knife set. Perhaps I need to go over and over the blade for a longer time which I will try to do in the future. That's why I rated it a 3-star, not outstanding but not terrible either.

This works great. You dont have to hold it. And it sharpened all my knifes beautifully. I recommend this

This was great (at first) for my Victorinox chef's knife. I managed to get a pretty sharp edge with seemingly little effort, I was careful to follow the directions explicitly. The edge achieved was nowhere near the quality that a pro could achieve, but fine for a low-cost easy home sharpening device without multiple pieces that have to be changed out or manipulated. Last night, I went to sharpen my knife again, and noticed that the blade was scraping against the metal frame. Upon further inspection, I saw that one of the arms with the carbide sharpening bit had broken out of the round support at the bottom of the device. The main reason I bought this, aside from the myriad positive reviews, was for its presumed durability, being mostly constructed of metal. Unfortunately, the whole thing is not made of metal. Those two movable arms with the carbide are made of plastic. I assure you, I never pushed with what I would consider plastic-breaking force. It's really uncommon for me to break things. I live alone, so I'm the only one in the house who has used it. I've never dropped it, and it's lived on my countertop adjacent to my knives the whole time I've owned it. There's no way anything could have caused the damage except regular use. The design of this device is quite good. The implementation with plastic as the chosen material in one of the thinnest, user-operable parts was a poor choice. It looks like lots of people have had positive experiences with this thing, so I hope your results are better than mine. Update (6/1/2020): The company reached out to me and sent me a replacement. They claimed they are using new materials. I can't see any improvement in materials over the original unit, but I am very happy with the customer service I received, so I'm raising the stars for this review.

This has got to be the most blatant false advertising I've ever seen on Amazon, "Full metal bracket" in the specs they have it listed as "Made of metal" and "Silver Plated" ABSOLUTELY FALSE. This sharpener is made out of almost 100% injection molded plastic other than the tiny blade sharpeners that make contact with knives. Not only is it completely plastic, it's super cheap plastic too!, you could literally break this by using two fingers, and I doubt it'd survive more than a foot or two drop without snapping in half. Do not buy this (Or anything else from this incredibly shady seller). Buy one actually made out of metal, or even one made out of a better quality plastic that doesn't flex at the slightest amount of force. Really upsetting such blatant false advertising, avoid at all costs. Oh, and the instructions they have to use it are actually wrong! Tip DOWN for course sharpening and tip UP for fine.... How do you guys not even know your own product??

Cheap plastic and doesn't look sharp. So it's hidden

Had it for less than a month and it broke. The seller denied a refund. Very poor service considering the price of the sharpener

While the metal plating is thicker than usual plating, nonetheless it is still just metal plated plastic. Amazon won't allow zero stars - this item deserves zero stars for false advertising.

Did not perform very good. Tried to return .... in vain. VERY DISAPPOINTED
