Customer Review: idiot proof sharpening
Summary: 5 Stars
i cook every day and i love sharp knives. i've always loved sharp knives. it makes cooking a much more pleasant experience. i am not the best person with a whetstone however. well, that was until i got these guides. now all it takes is a few passes on the stone and i get the exact factory specific angle on my global chef's knife. just like new. i can slice through anything with my new edge. gotta love something that can make sharpening fun.Customer Review: Great for sharpening, but...

First off I would like to say that these work as advertised and are a wonderful tool. They help immensely when sharpening your Globals. That being said, I do have one minor complaint about them. They grip the knife too tight. When you slide them on to the blade they leave a decent scratch. Granted, this isn't the end of the world and by no means reduces the quality of your knife, but it's quite frusterating to see scratches running along the tops of all your brand new (and expensive) knives. If you are interested in buying them, get them. They are great! I just wish someone had warned me about the scratches first.Customer Review: Not that great

I have a diamond stone and a couple Japanese waterstones. Both work great on the woodworking tools I have, but when I tried to use these honing guides with my Global knives I had very little success. It was hard to draw the knife completely across the diamond stone with honing guide on back. This lead to inconsistent sharpness along the blade. It also scratched up the back of the knife (these come with a couple of plastic protectors but they are difficult to slip on). After trying this for a while, I tried my electric knife sharpener I got as a wedding gift 10 years ago and it worked perfectly.Customer Review: A question

Seems these guides could also be useful for all knives - yes?
