Product Description
Razor sharp knives whenever you want - easy, automatic. Professional two-stage system sharpens in seconds. Blade guides automatically hold knife at ideal sharpening angle.Amazon.com Review
All kitchen and sporting knives, whether professional quality or inexpensive, need a blade tune-up now and then. This electric sharpener produces razor-sharp edges using the same rapidly rotating Sapphirite grinding wheels used by professional shops. A two-stage system allows knives to be ground and sharpened on the Stage 1 half of the machine, and then honed on the Stage 2 half. Blade guides hold the knife at the ideal sharpening angle for each side of the blade, as it is drawn slowly towards the user and kept parallel to the countertop. The sharpener is suitable for knives made of alloy, carbon, or stainless steel; it is perfectly normal for sparks to fly when knives of high carbon steel come in contact with the Sapphirite wheels. Non-electric serrated knives that are only serrated on one side can also be sharpened with this machine. Three suction cups on the bottom hold the sharpener securely on a table or countertop, and two receptacles underneath catch metal filings for disposal. The sharpener measures 8-1/4 by 5-3/4 by 4 inches, and is covered by a two-year warranty against defects. --Ann BieriSimilar Products

If you're looking for sharp knives get something else. I've used other electric knife sharpeners before and this one doesn't stack up well. The motor is very weak and I think the fine wheel must be too coarse as after 15 minutes of sharpening with decent knives I could not get a good shaving edge on one of them. My dad's Chef's Choice will put a shaving edge on the same knives in a couple of minutes. I actually think this sharpener dulled the edge of my folder slightly.

This product does what it is intended to do, and does it quickly and efficiently. It produce an almost "factory" sharp knife. I resharpened all my Japanese knives, including a traditional single bevel deba, and got excellent results. This is a 100% better method than sweating over sharpening stones, and gives close to the same result. I am more than satisfied with this well made, reasonably priced sharpener, and have recommended it to my family.

No need to spend any more on a knife sharpener than this one! This one did the trick in a jiff! I love to cook and have expensive knives, and have sharpened them with the knife sharpener that usually came with the set. Did my research and put my trust into this one, and proved me right!!!

A very average sharpener... I got the knifes to a little better shape than they were before but nothing comparing to what they were like when they were new. I'll probably keep it as it is relatively inexpensive and may keep the knifes in decent shape in between the professional sharpening, but I wouldn't recommend it as being even nearly close to what they advertise.
