      • tommypickles on 19/12/2022 - 21:04

        Indeed, 15 degree angle required for Global, but the question remains then — what’s an effective cheaper way to sharpen them then?

          Plus a bit of practice. Sounds scary, but really isn't…. the knife feels and sounds yuck if you're not close to the right angle.

      Onion tears have nothing to do with how sharp your knife is . Try putting your onion in the freezer for half an hour , don't knock it until you try it !

      • rst60G on 19/12/2022 - 21:36

        Also avoid removing the root of the onion until the end as this will release a lot of the gas that causes tears.

          I wonder if this is why I don't normally have issues when I cut onions, I was taught to leave it, but I thought it was more about holding the onion together so that it's easier to cut it evenly.

    now this thing carves curled up pieces of steel and little fragments removing way to much metal even with the weight of the knife it’s self doing the sharpening, it’s just over kill. I used a small digital microscope to see what the carbide inserts are doing to the steel and compared it to a freshly sharpened customers knife and it’s bad really bad with deep gouges and rolled and chipped edges it’s just destroying the edges, I also noticed the bevels were uneven because the carbide cutting inserts may be at 20° but your hand will move side to side causing the bevel angles to vary all the way down the edge because it’s not really the sharpening carbide inserts that determine the sharpening angle as they are at a constant, it’s how straight you can keep your hands as you draw the knife through the sharpener and no matter how hard you try, you will always favour one side or the other further damaging your expensive knives. Please people this might seem to work but on closer inspection it’s just destroying the edges (bevels) on knives and also removing way to much steel even with light passes. There are many great sharpeners out there that do a much better job at sharpening that will keep your knives in tiptop condition that gives a better longer lasting edge for a little more money and it will last longer that this edge destroying gimmick. I will tell you a few good ones below.

    Work sharp precision adjust knife sharpener.

    Work sharp guided field sharpener.

    Lansky knife sharpening system.

    Probably best one: Knife Sharpener Kit, “CWOVRS Professional Knife Sharpening System” and will give you a professional edge every time and will last a life time.

    • resisting the urge on 20/12/2022 - 07:06

      Thank you, @Casey Jones, I learned something… and decided on a Lansky I can just throw in the vice.

      I have a hand-held ceramic disc thing, it does not seem to be ruining my knife edges like you say this does, but takes time and is certainly not a consistent finish- as the hand changes pressure and angle as you describe with this one, as you draw it through. Handy for a quick return to useful sharpness, but I'd rather do all the knives in one batch every now and then to keep them good. Besides, if you have any really bad ones, some kind of whetstone is needed anyhow.

  • OZKap on 19/12/2022 - 20:44

    The advanced diamond-honed tungsten carbide sharpening tool is pre-set to a 20 degree angle for optimal sharpening.

    1. probably wrong angle, and there's no guide to keep the knife centered.

    2. carbide knife sharpeners are ultra-agressive, removing a lot of material and leaving a jagged chattery finish.

  • d3ft on 19/12/2022 - 20:50

    Plenty of folks who seem to know what they're talking about trashing this thing - why is it getting so many upvotes?

    • OZKap on 19/12/2022 - 20:59
      +3

      Because it's cheap, and it will "sharpen" a knife, even a really blunt one, extremely quickly. That knife your mother in law has spent the last 10 years grinding against ceramic plates? It'll be cutting again with just a few passes.

      The problem is that it removes a lot of material to do so, and the finish it leaves is awful and uneven.

      I've made the mistake of pulling some of my knives through a similar device because I felt they were very blunt and I wanted a quick fix. Finish was uneven on one side compared to the other, and the blade's edge looked almost serrated because of the chattering.

      If someone really needs a pull-through sharpener, go for a ceramic one at least. Takes a few more passes but the finish is much better, and doesn't remove nearly as much material. Casey Jones listed some better alternatives above. I'd personally recommend (not for everyone, mind) learning to use regular water stones and sharpening knives (and other tools) freehand.

        I feel like you're negging the product and not the deal.
        $10 sharpener is a deal. period. and it has it's purpose.

        does it compare to a stone for a single second? No.
        I can speak from experience, Used to sharpen 4x knives a day by stone and I have 2x Japanese knives (approx. $400 a knife) and a hand made custom knife (approx $500) and would only sharpen them on a stone and almost divorced my wife when she put one in the dishwasher. (have I made my point that I respect knives?)

          All the mentioned issues exist, but it's still the best $10 sharpener that works. If you push too hard/wobble your hand, yeah you'll shave too much off and/or get nicks. If you just do a consistent stroke, it works fine for your average knife.

Or slightly more to buy yourself a whetstone, learn how to use it and be able to sharpen all sorts of blades yourself without ruining them.

    • spaceflight on 19/12/2022 - 21:30

      A steel isn't designed to sharpen the knife, only to realign/smooth the blade.

      As you use a knife you will fold/bend the thin sharp blade edge, the steel will undo this. It won't make a dull knife sharp.

      Steels don't sharpen knives, they hone them, resetting the edge on an already sharp knife

    • rst60G on 19/12/2022 - 21:34
      +1

      It's a common misconception that a knife steel will sharpen your knife. A knife steel only hones a blade by straightening out the edge that has rolled over to one side with use (pro tip: avoid dragging the edge side of your knife across your cutting board, otherwise you're speeding up the time it takes to roll the edge over). If the edge of your knife is worn out or damaged (e.g., has a nick in it), a knife steel won't help.

      At a glance, the Diamond Fingers look marginally better than this tool because its using abrasion as the method to remove material rather than scraping or cutting material from the knife edge. You still have no control over the bevel angle and you're at risk of removing more material from one side than the other, but if I was to choose, I'd probably use the Diamond Fingers.

      I have a couple of those and find it really good to finish the sharpening. If you need to take a lot of material off to get a knife sharp, you are just wearing out the Furi, when a diamond plate would do a better job.

      Get the knife pretty sharp and then use the Furi to get it really sharp. If it needs more than three passes on the Furi, it’s not yet sharp enough for the final touch.

    Works fine for my cheap target knife as well as those masterchef knives that Coles were giving away.

    Wouldn't use it on my Victorinox knife though, that one's too good for that.

    I was tempted but listening to the experts here.

    What about something like this? https://www.myer.com.au/p/chefx-miyamoto-4-in-1-sharpener

    Should i keep away from this too?
