Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MinoSharp 220/GB Ceramic Wheel Water Sharpener, Grey/Black
Customer Review: Flimsy
Summary: 2 Stars
Does not sharpen particularly well. Furthermore, the cheap, flimsy plastic cover constantly comes off when you drag the knife through.
Definitely not recommended.
Customer Review: damaged my knife
Summary: 1 Stars
This sharpener damaged my Global knife. The knife doesn't only rest in one position within the slot. If you let it drop all the way in, it leaves scratch marks along one side of the knife, all the way up to half an inch high. I did not like the actual sharpening either. It jumped on the ceramic wheel. I did not like this model of sharpener at all. I finally switched to the new Wustof model for my Global knife, the one that has the carbide on one side and ceramic on the other. It worked great on my Global knife.Customer Review: eh...try something else
Summary: 1 Stars
I gave this a super bad rating a few months ago - something to the effect of "avoid avoid avoid...at all cost" - which upon review seemed a tad over-the-top.
The things is, as others have reported, this device will take a sharp knife and make it dull. I've never been able to get it to do anything other than leave unsightly scrapes down the length of the blade.
You're better off saving your money for a good steel, which is the only way I've ever been able to keep a Global knife sharp.
Customer Review: Not worth it - messed up MY knife, too
Summary: 1 Stars
Maybe it's just me... But I have NEVER had any luck with knife sharpeners. Therefore, I always let my husband (yeah, I know - stereotype!) do the work, since he has the skill. So, he attempted to sharpen up my older Global blade - and it got worse. He was very disappointed in it, too.
Sorry to say it, and I'm happy others have found it helpful, but for me, it didn't work at all. *sigh* I s'pose I'll have to re-package it and send it in for a return.
Customer Review: This doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this thing for a couple years now. I pull it out every once in a while, hoping. Maybe someone can come show me what I'm doing wrong.
