Black & Silver Plus Knife Sharpener

This was recommended to me as the right sharpener for my Global knives. This is the right way to dull your Global knives. It is OK for lower end knives but never gets them as sharp as my Chefs Choice. The minosharp is simple and quick but so is the Accusharp which is close to 1/5 the price.

Ultimately, manual sharpening with a stone is slow but gets you razor sharpness.

Not recommended. You have plenty of other options.

Lower price, just as fast, sharper edge, easy to use = Accusharp

Higher price, slightly faster sharpening, more versatile, very very sharp but not razor sharp, easy to useChef's choice

Similar price (depends on brand), slower sharpening, requires skill, knowledge and practice but with all that you get the sharpest edge = good quality whetstones use the water stones less messy than the oil stones but both are effective

I've used it for about a year. it gets a knife sharp enough for sushi work in about 2 minutes. Don't push down too hard or you might damage the stone wheels. Sooner or later you'll have to get new wheels. Don't know how easy that is.

The Hubby and I have an agreement. If he wants good vittles to appear before him on a regular basis, he must make sure my knives are sharp. To that end and because he loves gadgets & food, he owns several whet stones and knife hones that take way too much time for me to use. He bought me this to do quickie honing sessions on my knives that take the most abuse (santoku, paring and slicing knives). It is easy to use and generally does a good job. It is not all that good at taking gouges out of knives. Nor will it help you guys who think that just because those food network people drag their sharp edges across the cutting board to scape things into a pile that you can do it too (Read: it can't help you if you square off your edge). However, if you take reasonable care of your knives and understand proper knife care, this is an awesome tool to have. It is especially helpful for those inbetween knife sharpenings and when you are chopping a lot of food.

Good till it broke then told "there isnt any warranty for this item...." by the canadian distributor. Very disappointing and will not buy again. I assume same applies to Global knices. Back to Henkell

It makes dull knifes sharper, maybe not quite shaving-sharp, but reasonably sharp. Plastic construction feels fairly solid, though sometimes I wasn't quite sure if I had the angle right through the guides, especially on curved blades. There's about an inch toward the handle that the sharpener can't really get to with the cover on. Would be nice to have a 3rd fine wheel for honing (the two included ones are medium & coarse).

This is my first sharpener of it's kind, so I wasn't really sure what to expect and don't really have a point of reference.
