Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a very nice unit. Compact, yet fairly heavy and very stable while in use. It is primarily meant for use with the Shun knives, but will sharpen any knife, while changing the blade angle to 16 degrees. You cannot use it to sharpen serrated edge knives. It pops apart for cleaning and is fairly easy to use.
It will take a little practice to get the "stroke" down pat. You don't want any down pressure and a steady,staight pull thru the machine. I find that two passes usually do the trick.
This machine will not restore your knife to that factory edge that Shun is famous for. This machine is meant to get you close. You must hone the knife to get that finished edge. I use a water stone to finish with, but there are other methods.
This sharpener is not meant to replace using the steel either. I steel my blades each time I use them. I only resort to the sharpener when the steel will not restore the edge. Sharpening too often is as bad as not often enough.
I find this machine is very good at restoring the factory angle and getting the knife very close to sharp. I don't mind the extra few minutes it takes to put that "razor" edge on with a stone. I think it is well worth the price and recommend it.
