Had mine for a couple of years now. I've not bothered with my more expensive sharpeners since I got it. Absolutely love it and can get my knives super-sharp in no time, anytime, anywhere. Nice review.
When I first tried it on my knife, it made it more dull than before. I went back to review the Sharpens Best video, and was able to get a little more information on what I was doing wrong. Now I'm having a lot better results than before.
💥You talk and advertise about this sharpener so well that I almost thought you are a Sells representative ,😂👍🏼💥 !! Thank you for your time and effort 👌🏼
Great review! I just got mine a few weeks ago. It shapened right away, but not as sharp as i wanted. I had to learn how to optimize it's use. That was easy because I started using it on every knife we own several times a day. Oh man are the knives nuclear sharp now. I'm sad because there's nothing left to sharpen. My machetes, axes, butter knives, and even my drywall hatchet are Razer Sharp. It's so therapeutic for me using it. I get into a meditative state as i sharpen, and feel every imperfection as i pass it over the blade. My favorite thing about my day everyday.
Great video. I am relatively new to your channel. In one of your videos you mentioned this sharpener. I am glad you did and also glad I watched it. I will give this sharpener a shot. Thanks.
im sorry but this is a horrible way to sharpen an edge, maybe in an emergency until you can get a proper edge, but a proper edge has micro serrations like a saw blade, running anything in the direction this is going will only cut those off, im not saying it cant possibly get an edge sharper but it damn sure aint gonna last and its not a quality edge. a proper edge holds for a long time, then should be honed to bring back the micro serrations or stropped going in the direction that the micro serrations can be added and cleaned up
@@NeevesKnivesI think my problem with this is lets say the touch up part its so short, and such as surface, and how the blade is then ran across it i dont see how this would be better to just carrying pocket size "stone" like i have been carrying diamond coated one, and ceramic rod at times, but i feel they would work better than this
If it cuts it's sharp. A tool you use will get dull. You aren't going to sharpen in-between cuts in a real work environment, and a day of work will dull any knife. In the hands of the average person this would do them better than a whetstone. That's not even considering time consumption. You're a knife hobbyist, and your opinion means jack shit when it comes to work. It's obvious you don't do any.
Sharpen a knife every day 5 mins a day for 2 years. You will eventually be able to sharpen a knife on anything. No matter how bad you are when you start, you will devolp a feel. This is the key to sharping you don't need to buy anything it will only cost 5 mins a day. In the end you will feel like you can sharpen a bagel on bumper & get it razor sharp. Nothing is a replacement for a life skill you will always find it valuable.
@@spy-v-spy1848 good advice. And if you really keep up on the sharpness of your blade, you can sharpen it and keep it sharp just about anything. Have a great day.

Not really.

Nuclear sharp is cool but it never stays that way especially if you’re working with it a lot. A working edge that is sharp enough to do the work is what I’m mainly concerned with. These things work different on different steels.

Titled against the pull is much too aggressive and will bite release jump, bite release jump one thousand time in one pull which is called "chatter" (which creates a ragged bevel/edge. ).

Titled against the pull is much too aggressive and will bite release jump, bite release jump one thousand time in one pull which is called "chatter" (which creates a ragged bevel/edge. ). Which doesnt allow the other par tof the sharpener to do its job of honing either because it will follow the chatter pattern that the V made on the edge.
