Mcgowan Firestone Electric Sharpener

This will turn a butter knife into a steak knife in no time. The first sharpening may require many passes but touch ups are done in seconds. I gave everybody on my gift list one of these last Christmas.

We received the sharpener from the seller quicker than expected. The price was right and shipping was free. It works exactly as advertised and finally we have sharp knives in the house!

We have owned a Firestone Electric Knife Sharpener (essentially the same as shown) for about 15 years and still get razor sharpness from our knives. People, including my wife, are skeptical at first but become die-hard believers in this device very quickly.

This sharpener puts a great quick edge on knives. Some things to remember 1) Try just one pass first and see if that is good enough. This sharpener really sharpens quickly and one could oversharpen and remove too much metal very easily. 2) It leaves a slightly 'toothy' edge, which is better for a lot of actual cutting (tomatoes, bread, etc...), but this might be a turn off for some. 3) On point 2, one can turn off the machine and lightly use the stones for somewhat better edge or use a steel for a final edge.

I like this better than the Chef'sChoice models because they leave marks on the sides of the blades (yes, this doesn't hurt the function, but I'm just fussy). Better than the Worksharp Sharpener because the flexibility of the belts allow too much variation. The McGowan gives the closest to a factory edge I've found from an electric sharpener.

The product works well. Simple to use and quick. Places a double hollow ground edge on the blade and does a decent job of sharpening the tips of knives. Only drawback is that it will remove a LOT of metal on initial sharpening. Once sharp, a quick couple of passes renews the edge. The edge appears to be rough and not the fine polished edge people usually associate with a sharp blade, but once sharpened, the knives cut extremely well. If the cosmetics of your blade are important, this device is probably not for you. I now warn my guests to be careful because my knives are very sharp and a couple of guests have asked how I keep them sharp. I have recommended this device to them. Two of them have already purchased the same device and are a pleased as I am.
