Customer Review: Nice
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a very nice knife sharpener. It was easy to use and it provided a very nice sharpness to the blade.
Main points: easy to use, provides an effective sharp blade within a few minutes.
Customer Review: So far it's working well
Summary: 4 Stars
I've only had the product for a short time but it's definitely making a noticeable change on the edge of my Global knives. I'm rather impressed.Customer Review: works well
Summary: 4 Stars
It does work well and does put on a sharp edge, but not close to the sharpness out of the box. I expect I will learn the trick if there is one.Customer Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a little pricy but it does a good job of honing Global and Shun knives.Customer Review: It works, but does not restore the original Global sharpness
Summary: 3 Stars
I think this a good product, it does take the science out of keeping a servicable blade... but I don't think it does a great job in combination with Global knives. I would not state it outright dulls them, but it does not restore the original utter sharp edge. Personally, I think the Wusthoff santoku sharpener does a better job of restoring the Global knife edge - but the Wusthoff has the drawback it wears out after some months of heavy use. This one stays around longer, but the cost is a slightly duller, "un-Global" sharpness.
I think it is best suited for other knives, not the high end, expensive Global knives. I guess they struck a marketing agreement or something for now, but while I own this product, and use it for other knives, I will not use it for my Global knives. It's either the stone or the Wusthoff.
