          Sharpeners are inherently consumable. If you don't have to replace it - it's not doing anything.

    • PVA on 15/02/2023 - 13:04

      In home , any time, or you have to go to a store and they send them off?

        Print out a form from the Wusthof website, package your knife, pay shipping costs, send it off and they'll sharpen it and send it back in two weeks.

      puffery isn't considered to be misleading advertising D:

    These are great for cheap knives that don't cost much to replace, but NEVER use them on good ones given how much material they remove

    • PVA on 15/02/2023 - 14:05
      +1

      Doesn’t seem to remove much on mine, and sharpens the knives well.
      Some reviews say it removes a lot, I am betting they press down while sharpening instead of just using the weight of the knife like the instructions explain.

      • knk on 15/02/2023 - 17:01

    • Pwoar on 15/02/2023 - 14:19

      These are made to be easy for people that dont want to learn to use the whetstone.

      I always recommend most people to get a honing rod. That'll keep your knife (if good enough) sharp for an entire year, then dust off the sharpener.

      • Mario g on 15/02/2023 - 16:29
        +1

        honing does not sharpen you knife, it aligns it that's all and also depends how often you use your knife too. if use everyday your knife will have to be sharpened often.
        I use often and i like a super sharp knife to cut with ease. I use global knives and they are best kept sharp at 10-15 degrees.

    • Matt88 on 15/02/2023 - 15:18

      Totally agree, I had some cheapo knives which it sharpened well, albeit shedding some metal. Got a whet stone and steel to keep my Global knives sharp

      • melrockstar9 on 15/02/2023 - 15:21

        Could you recommend a whet stone? I have global knives as well and don't know where to start as some suggest that Global knives have diff angles or something?

          I use the "NANIWA Chosera Ceramic Whetstone 800" on my globals.

        • grumblerain on 15/02/2023 - 17:19

          whetstones are great, after you've spent a few months or years learning how to use them. good idea if you want a hobby, poor idea if you just want sharp knives in a manner which preserves your knives but also spend as little time as possible.

          check out knife sharpening systems.

    • Bread Pitt on 15/02/2023 - 17:40

      Yea exactly it works great for my cheap Victorinox knives but I wouldn't risk it on anything you're not willing to replace every few years or so.

  • Frosty Soy Boy on 15/02/2023 - 13:12

    ah here we are again. always worth checking the comments. example -

    I love knives in fact I make them for a living. I’ll try to keep this short and to the point (no punt intended).

    Even I fell for the marketing and purchased one of these and I love any tool that makes life that little easier (work smarter not harder) but interns of this gimmick it’s one of those things where it’s akin to using a sledge to hammer for a 1” nail - your going to do damage and you just needed a small joinery hammer. Anyhow when I sharpen knives I do so with the upmost care because every time you sharpen a knife your wearing away it’s life removing metal until finally it ready to be retired in the bin (trash for our American cousins) 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.

    Please remember these are going to last a life time or a very long time so you will get you money’s worth and then some out of them and you’ll get a super sharp edge that lasts way longer than this destroyer of knives and you’ll remove far less material, they are more expensive sets that are way out side of the average home gamer price range like the wicked edge which is expensive but please consider it if you have expensive knives because this is the best knife sharpener in the world and they have different sets you can buy that you can build on over the months and years and the quality of workmanship is the best you can get…..

    • el_cheapo on 15/02/2023 - 13:18
      +17

      With respect to removing too much material, if you are a chef who sharpens you knives all the time, fair enough. If you just sharpen you knives at home once every 6 to 12 months does it really matter? I have a similar sharpener, probably sharpen my knives every 6 months for the past few years and they aren't toothpicks yet.

      • Frosty Soy Boy on 15/02/2023 - 13:25

        valid point, especially cheap crap. I have a certain respect with building and maintaining stuff that last generations, roman buildings for example.

        • el_cheapo on 15/02/2023 - 13:30

          Yeah that's totally fair, and probably a good way to look at the world (buy for life, reduce waste etc.)

        • Shon on 15/02/2023 - 14:21

          I agree with both of you. However, having invested in lots of different tools to sharpen knives. I rely solely on this one now. It's quick, effective and super easy to use. The life of the knives will definitely be impacted, but I'll still get at least a decade + out of them. For home/casual use this item is amazing, for the pros hone your whetstone/stropping skills.

      • AlbyDuck on 15/02/2023 - 13:29

      • greennick on 15/02/2023 - 15:37

        As they say, if you have a cheap knife, get one of these and just know you'll be replacing your knife more regularly. You'll still be ahead.

        For those of us with good knives, these should be avoided.

      • pinchies on 15/02/2023 - 18:27

        I've just ordered one. I'd bet dollars to donuts that for that price it is not real X50CrMoV15. Gonna try find out.

      Any opinions on the Furi Diamond Fingers?

      • chops on 15/02/2023 - 13:51

        They are good for honing the blade, but not for sharpening making an edge … I use a furi steel or their knife sharpener, then use the fingers nearly everytime I need to cut.

      • Shon on 15/02/2023 - 14:23

        I'd send you my one which is sitting in the cupboard since I bought this item. IMHO there is no comparison, this one wins by a landslide.

      The thing I noticed when I did my knives with my Ruixin (very similar or identical to CWOVRS) is that they weren't just sharp, but the edges were polished. So you could turn the knives to catch the light and you'd get a gleam from the edges. Very, very smooth to use (Global knives). With honing, they lasted a long time. Having said that, I bought a newer model to replace it and the thought of setting it all up is making me procrastinate. So I can see the attraction of a pull-through sharpener!

      • Mikeer on 15/02/2023 - 14:36

    • nitens on 15/02/2023 - 16:56

      And for the price of that sharpener I can get 8-10 edges re-shaped and sharpened, which at my current home usage rate is about 4 years with zero risk except for the trust I place in my knife smith. Dunno what I'll do when the old bloke turns in his wheel - maybe get one of these.

      For the time being I'm happier leaving it with a pro… but I can see the meditative & building skills for the apocalypse value of doing it yourself.

    • shaybisc on 15/02/2023 - 17:40

      After a brief look I see that there are plenty of sharpeners purporting to be Ruixin Pro's on Aliexpress. Could be I suppose. They're all made in China.

      We don't have any expensive knifes in the household and just bring dead knifes alive again.

    If anyone put any of my knives in one of these awful sharpeners I would stab them with said knife. They might put a temporary edge on your knife, but they destroy them, and peel strips of metal away to do so.

    Just buy a whetstone and a honing rod and learn to use them, it's bloody easy to learn, and you'll keep a decent knife for decades

    Just ordered. Will only use for the Kiwi knives I bought from the Asian grocery. I have the Lansky system but too lazy to use often. I mainly use a diamond stone I bought from Bunnings for $70 which is much quicker than the Lansky. Works well with my Mercer which is the most expensive knife I have. Don't care much about the others as they are cheap as. Thinking of getting some used Globals.
