Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of W?sthof 2-Stage Pocket Knife Sharpener
Customer Review: Works great -- BUT...
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently ordered this sharpener from Amazon. I saw the $18 retail price and the Wusthof name and assumed this was a better sharpener than the Smith's Abrasives sharpener it resembles. It may be -- I haven't tried the Smith's sharpener. But I doubt it -- this Wusthoff sharpener is made by Smith Abrasives, Inc. At least that's what's stamped on the back of it. You can buy a Smith's Abrasives sharpener from Amazon or buy one for less than $3.00 at Wal-mart. All this aside, this is a great little sharpener. I sharpened all of my kitchen knives with it in only a few minutes. It's very easy to use -- just drag the knife blade through the coarse side and then the fine side a few times. It's easy to hold and the non-slip feet really help. Overall, I'm very happy with it, but I think I could have saved a few dollars and several days if I had just bought a Smith's sharpener at Wal-mart.Customer Review: just what I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
This little sharpener is perfect! I was asking for this in stores before it even hit the market. It is so easy to use and it works great. It maintains the 20 degree angle and there is no guessing whether you are keeping your knife at the correct angle as you sharpen it. All you do is pull it through, and it covers the entire length of the blade without missing any areas. It's amazing. Thank you Wusthof! I am using this on my Global knife too, and it works great. The angle on the Global was 15 degrees but for me that was too sharp and it was preventing the knife from traveling on the cutting board. So now it has a 20 degree angle and it works so much better. For me this was a tremendous improvment. I highly recommend this sharpener.
