HENCKELS Handheld Knife Sharpener

looked for a quality knife sharpener and decided to give this one a try. Glad I did because it does and amazing job sharpening my kitchen knives. Its easy to use and store in drawer Great design and I thought reasonable priced.

I have Henckel and Cutco knives and have used both an electric knife sharpener and two other pull-through type sharpeners similar to this one. This Henckel sharpener does a better job than any of them. The two slots are for course and fine sharpening and seem to be angled carbide blocks which shave small amounts of metal off the blade to get the edge, as opposed to my other sharpeners which used stones. I needed about five pulls in each groove for the first sharpening which gave me an edge that could cleanly slice copy paper. I expect future sharpening for touch-ups will be even faster.

This sharpener is easy to use right out of the package. Follow the easy instructions and sharpen your knives with ease. There is a coarse side and fine side. You run your knife first thru the coarse side then the fine side. It’s intuitive which way to lay your knife against the sharpener. I’m glad I purchased it because it’s easier than using one of those chefs sharpeners. It has good grip handle also.

This sharpener will sharpen your dull kitchen knives. It has as course sharpener to use on dull blades and a fine sharpener to put a finish surface on the blade. This is my second one as I wore out the first one and it took several years to do that. It is a little on the large and heavy side but that adds to its' satiability. I think it's great value for the money as one can buy a smaller sharpener for the same money. The smaller ones are not as stable and therefore do not do as nice of a sharpening job. I took a star off because of the large size. It needs to be stored somewhere.

This works so well. Easy to use and comes with good directions.

Nice tool for kitchen. Use it with a $50 medium quality knife and it sharpens it enough to cut paper after a few passes. I run it through before every use. Worth the $15 price.

Convenient and easy to use. Works well enough for home use although not up to par with a whetstone or professional sharpening.

Bought this to replace a much cheaper EdgeCraft sharpener. I have all Henckels knives, which I love. Unfortunately, they did not sharpen as well with the Henckels tool. Followed the instructions that said up to 20 times on the Coarse side and 6 times on the Fine side - not impressed. I went back to my EdgeCraft.
