If you are considering a knife sharpening system I highly recommend Norton stones over electric sharpeners. The stone takes a minimum amount of steel off your knives compared to electric sharpeners. An electric sharpener takes the same amount of steel off the blade every pass. You will replace your knives much quicker with an electric sharpener. Protect your investment!I have been working in the professional kitchen for a few years now, and I have used these exact items both in culinary school and in restaurants. I love it, and it's well worth the investment.
A steel merely HONES the edges of a blade, aligning the feathered bits of steel that get ground into the edge of the blade over periods of use or sharperning. This tri-stone truly sharpens even the dullest knives to a razor sharp edge. I use this for my home knives, as well as my pro kitchen knives. It does take a little bit of time to get used to, to get the right angle, etc, but is ultimately easy and self-explanitory. The safest knife is a sharp knife.the 3 way sharpening stone is great for putting a new edge on your culinary knives. The only downside is you have to be trained in using the stones as sharpeners. There are very little directions in using this product.I have wanted a Norton oilstone knifesharpener since I started to work in a butcher shop at age 14.There is none better than a Norton,it's what the pros use.This is a must have for any chef. Everywhere I have worked I have had the privilege of using these stones and they work great. I do not have one for the home yet but after the Christmas season I plan on getting one. I must also agree with the reviewer who stated that you must have knowledge on how to use this. If you are new to this then you will have a difficult time.
