Pros & Cons
Pros
Electrical sharpener for kai shun knifes. Sharpens my victorinox knife from blunt to cleanly cutting through paper.
Highlights
Quality
Light weight, easy to use and our knives have never been so sharp.
It is sturdy and puts a nice edge on regular & serrated blades!
Ignore the razor sharp reviews you won't be able to shave with your knives.
After 8 months of usage the diamond part of sharpener broke and now i will have to replace it.
Price
I recommend for knife sets under $250.
Good value for the $$ and cheaper than the motorized unit.
This is a steal when it is on sale.
Shipping
In addition the sharpener arrived in good condition in the promised time frame.
Packaging/appearance
Be sure to follow the enclosed directions in the package for best results.
Competitiveness
This one is much better than the henckels.
Atk rated this as one of the best buys for a reason.
I purchased this sharpender after reasearch the america's test kitchen choices for kitchen knives and sharpeners.
If i have to put an equivalent it is similar to the sharpness of a 400/1,000 grit stone just as sharp.
