My husband had the sharpener out of the box the moment it arrived and went to work sharpening his knives. There is 3 slots on the knife sharpener. You insert the blade into each of the slots and run it back and forth, from heel to tip. About 10 strokes on the 3rd slot gave the edge a reasonably smooth finish. It even removed minor notches that were in the blades.
It also works well on our ceramic knives. The non slip bottom on the sharpener offers a secure, stable, confidence-inspiring grip. Tall walls hold the knife steady so that you draw the blade through the chamber with even pressure. There is less risk of cutting yourself like there is with the metal rod sharpener.
Be sure to properly wash the knives after sharpening to remove any shavings.
When it comes to kitchen cookeries only the best kitchen tools will do. Overall this Knife Sharpener is a great option for someone who wants to personally care for his or her knives in a “hands-on” manner. Because the knife sharpener is compact and small it fits easily into a kitchen drawer or you can leave it right on your counter top. For the price, it is really worth the money compared to other more expensive sharpeners on the market. Definitely a very good product.
