High Quality Professional Knife Sharpener

My old knife sharpener was one of those manual ones that gives you major goosebumps when you run your blade through it. It destroyed all my knives, so I was on the hunt for something better, especially since I finally invested in proper knives and want them to last (I do a lot of cooking!) Of course I googled "America's Test kitchen Knife Sharpeners" to see if they had any segments on the topic, and of course they did! ATK never disappoints with their reviews. This sharpener is definitely pricey, but it'll last for years and so will my knives! It's super easy to use and fool-proof. You can't ruin your knives if you try! Highly recommend!

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! They are thorough and clear, and definitely improved my results. My Asian knives took quite a few passes, maybe 20, before they developed the “burr” on the edge, but once I achieved that, getting a much-better-than-factory edge was very easy. The first time I used my chef’s knife, the blade cut right through the lime and kinda stuck in the bamboo cutting board. VERY SHARP. I’m delighted! And I regret not buying this sharpener three years ago when I first learned about it. I’d give 6 stars if I could!

It gives you a professional type edge on your knives. I was able to revive my old Wusthoff steak knives . Finding a professional knife sharpener (person) is harder and harder to source in the real world. This will save you that cost. Easy to use , Read the directions and keep all your knives sharp. A necessary tool for the home cook. Used on scissors as well as serrated and Asian knives.

I have expensive knives that only needed sharpening and this sharpener is worth every cent. I read the instructions first and couldn’t believe it would be that easy to operate. They suggested just running the blade through BEFORE you even turn it on, just to feel how the weight of the knife will feel with a complete pass through. Great idea which I did and it helped with my apprehension of not wanting to ruin my knife. I did the minimum through passes that resulted in a precision sharp blade for a paper thin slice of tomato. As with any knife, please protect your blade (and yourself) in purchasing a sturdy knife guard that I always purchase even when gifting a knife. I did not think this is overly loud and it stayed secure on the counter when using. I have my sharpener on the counter for now to sharpen the rest of my knives as needed. It is a very clean looking sharpener that works perfectly. I Should have purchased this a long time ago. Looks like someone I know will be getting one for Christmas too.

What a great addition to my essential kitchen tools. This manual knife sharpener works well and has adjustable cutting angles for the knife blade. It was beautifully packaged and shipped fast. I could not be happier with this product.
