3 Stage III Hand-Held Knife Sharpener

I purchased this sharpener from Sur La Table after they used it to sharpen my knives in front of me. My Shun Ken Onion knives are my main knives for when I cook. It had been about 3 months before I had them sharpened by Sur La Table using this sharpener and when they sharpened the knives it had a brand new edge on it again. Just like new, I didn't need to put pressure on the knife to cut through meat, veggies, fruit, etc.

I also used the sharpener on my cheap henkles steak knives. I gently attempted cutting a tomato with the steak knives to test how sharp the knife was(I guess I watch too many infomercials). My steak knives are not serrated. After I ran the knives through this sharpener, every knife cut through the tomato like a hot knife through butter. I was highly impressed. When I am highly satisfied with certain products I can't help not pushing it on my friends and family. I have a feeling this will be my last sharpener.

It is really really easy to use too.

The three sharpening wheels are coarse, medium and fine. I run each knife about 15 times with light pressure through each wheel and check the edge. If I am not satisfied, I repeat the process. Just make sure to add water to the sharpener to reduce friction, heat and buildup. I will never use another sharpening block.

I got this because I didn't want the hassle of taking my knives somewhere to have them sharpened. They seemed quite dull to me. I have a Wusthoff and a Global Santoku. This sharpener worked very well for them. They are again sharp and cut through stuff like butter. It did leave some marks on the edge of the knife and this might have been due to user error also. I have to say I am totally happy with it and if you want your knives to be perfect then take them to a professional sharpener. If you just want them sharp..... I think this is a good choice.

I already have one of these in black and red. Not that the color really matters. What matters is that this is a really good sharpener. If you are going to invest in Global knives then this is a must have. It doesn't matter how nice of a knife you buy, it will need sharpening eventually. It's very easy to use and will have your knives gliding through anything you touch them to just like the day you first used them. The water trough is a nice touch because it really helps to wet up the grit of sharpening stones. Some people have complained about this sharpener scratching the side of their knives. It does leave a bit of a line, but it is not bad at all. Can't really comment on how this sharpener does with other higher end knives. I have a cheapo small knife that gets a really nice edge from this tool. So I imagine it must work on almost any knife. All the rest of my knives are Globals and it works like magic on them.

The Minosharp 3 sharpener does a pretty good job of putting an edge on knives.

The knives are certainly sharp enough afterward to do just about any cutting/dicing/slicing you need to do.

Is it a new edge quality? No, not really. But it is good enough. And the good thing about it is that

sharpening a knife is really easy and quick. It's all about time and effort and this thing does save time

and does reduce effort. However, the unit is somewhat pricey at around $80. So I give it a rating of 4 and

will update if my mind changes any.
