Affordable, effective, durable, easy to use
By jbrianb on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025
I keep this in a kitchen drawer to go "beyond" what a honing steel will do. Besides realigning the blade, this takes off material, so it actually "sharpens" your knives. I don't use it all the time, but if an edge is starting to wear a little, I'll give this a twirl for a quick fix. Eventually, knives have to be properly sharpened if you want them to last and be sharp, so I will eventually move them to a series of diamond plates in various grits and then to a whet stone and a strop. But as I said, if you're knife is slightly dull and needs a quick touch up, this is a wonderful magic wand. After using it a few times on the same knife, a proper sharpening will be in order. But I love this for fast and convenient. I find it sturdy, durable, well made, comfortable to hold and the grit size works great for me. I am on my second one, though I now use my "old" one AFTER the new one as it has lost some abrasives and offers a reduced grit (in theory anyway).

A fair sharpener
By Big Rudy on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2024
This sharpener works fairly quickly to put a medium-sharp edge on my kitchen knives, but not a super sharp edge. I finish the sharpening with an iron instead of this. The shaft of this is hollow and the diamond face erodes pretty quickly--making the sharpening process significantly slower. Not my favorite. Big Rudy
