Customer Response

this works great if you have patience
I used this and it was great for what it does, the angle was the hard thing for me and this was my fault didn't follow the directions, (typical Man.) Anyway worked for a time on my chefs knives, would buy again

No talent needed for incredibly sharp blades.
This knife sharpener is great because it takes the need for talent out of the equation. Sharpening the blade at the exact same angle for every stroke allows you to get a razor edge on anything. I am really happy with this kit. I also ordered the A4X Extra Coarse stone and the A4EE extra extra fine stone, so I have a total of five stones. Everything fits in the blue bag. I am convinced I could get a razor edge on a hammer. Highly recommend.

Pretty good for an even angle across the blade
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this product. I was a little disappointed, since I'd done some web research and found a couple of sites that recommended this set. I was excited about setting an angle to grind into the blade--I just wish I had known that there's only 6 angle options. The actual angle isn't quite controllable; it depends on the width of your blade. For the same setting on the sharpener, you could be putting a 20 degree angle or a 25 degree angle on your blade, depending on how wide it is. I'm ok with the product, but perhaps I had just hyped it up too much in my mind. I will probably end up buying the black grinding stone for it as well, since I have an old Chinese cleaver that has been difficult to sharpen with the included stones--it must have a particularly hard steel.

I'm satisfied with this because I've tried sharpening knives using stones before. I can get great variability sharpening free-hand, but it's tough to get an even edge angle along the length of the blade. This kit fixes that.

Great product
Never have been able to master sharpening knives freehand. Tried this type of aligner system years ago with standard sharpening stones and was able to get a good edge but with a lot of work and time. With the DMT diamond stones I was turning out arm shaving edges in 5 minutes on really dull carbon steel and 440 stainless blades. A Queen knife with a D2 tool steel blade took a little longer but I would never have had the patience to finish it with my old conventional stones. I love this product and highly recommend it.

super easy to use, great results
This kit is considerably cheaper than similar kits by Gatco or Lansky, yet delivers outstanding results. I used the kit the day I got it to sharpen my entire kitchen knife set - and it really didn't take very long to do so. Using the stones in the kit I was able to produce an edge easily the equal of the Wusthof ceramic sharpener I had been using - when I did a final hone with the "extra-extra-fine" tan DMT stone I bought at the same time, the blades became "scarey sharp". It was also really easy to produce a micro-bevel edge, which was impossible with the Wusthof.

I had none of the issues cited by others - including with the serrated sharpener. All in all, very very pleased. (plus it has a lifetime no-BS warranty: if it busts, they fix it. Nice)
