So, I have a new video coming soon on my new knife set that I got last year, I purposely have not sharpened them yet. So that I can do an honest review. However once that video is published, I can't wait to get this bad boy back out the drawer so i can sharpen the new set. 😀 stay tuned!
So my sharper knives to begin with were not far off razor sharp afterwards. My dull knife (I mean really dull) was really sharp afterwards, but not razor. I haven't done it again since and it's still sharp. It's not a pro sharpener by any means, but for household use it's really good.
You're welcome, if it helps, I posted this video a few years ago and I still have it in the drawer and use it regularly. It actually turned out to be a pretty decent buy.
Ah nice, you'll have to let me know how you find it. I had several knife sharpeners now, short of actually getting a proper wet n dry stone out the shed, this is the next best thing.
I don't know how the original commenter is getting on with it, but for me, it's still going, lives in my blender and mixer cupboard, comes out periodically when I get chance (about every 6 months) and I give them a little go over and freshen up. The novelty and excitement has worn off now 😂 but it's very handy to have around.
@@linuspauli8049for unknown reason I did not get a notification so i couldn’t see your message. It is going very well. I use it for all knives at home. I recommend this to everyone except high end carbon steel knives because if you have that kinda knife, it means sharpening is one of your hobby😂
@@Danieljamespainteranddecoratorit is dirt cheap to replace. This sharpener at £10 is nowhere close to the price tag of high end sharpeners so I believe it has insane value 👌🏻
No problem. I read the instructions, wasn't that clear, thought I'd help. 😀 it's actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Do you have one? How do you find it?
Thanks. You must be a mind reader to comment right at this moment 😂 I have literally just finished using it again for the first time in months to sharpen my cooking knives. Wierd 😂
"You can see the cut of the film after each pass, why? To hide the disadvantages of this sharpening, which is a pity, because it is going to sharpen it somehow, but please do not be fooled". Sorry i had to google translate it. not really quite sure what you are trying to get at. but yes there are several cuts in the film. I cut the video so that people didn't have to watch me sharpening on each stone for 15-30 strokes. And i was also editing it as i speak during the clip, not on a voice over. basically i was cutting it down from a 15 minute video to about 3 minutes.. nothing to do with "fooling people" literally showing people how to use the IKEA sharpener as the instructions were not very good. Still a bit baffled by this comment? but hey i guess you are the perfect example of why people should not do drugs....
wth, no example after. Shouldn't be that you can run your fingers along even from the sides. Nice and sharp but doesn't cut his fingers 🤣😂 no examples after. Just been waiting for that result. Waste of time rly
It's possible to still run your fingers along a brand new scalpel blade side to side too without getting cut. What's your point? And besides it's a budget domestic knife sharpener designed to give your kitchen knives a makeover and get more life out of them, not to turn a dull kitchen knife into a surgical tool. 😂
It could be a good idea to wipe them in between so the scraping from a coarser stone doesn't get onto the other. It's getting a bit better now that I use them from both sides@@Danieljamespainteranddecorator
thanks a lot for the video. Can the knife sharpener also be used for a serrated bread knife?
Not sure whether it is meant to be or not, but I do mine in it and have done since I got it, still nice n sharp.
Thank you. Really clear directions
I kind of had to do it, the instructions that came with it were not very good. You got one yourself?
@@Danieljamespainteranddecorator yes

Thanks for the video. Does it make a dull knife razor sharp? Or sharp enough? Hpw sharp exactly :)

Thanks brother, really helpfull video!

Hi mate,
I bought it and will try it. Cheers

What is your experience with this tool now?

@@Danieljamespainteranddecorator 😂 nice coincidence!
Gotta keep those knives sharp sharp sharp!
A surgeon wouldn't turn up to work with a blunt scalpel thus dont try to cook with a blunt knive!
Exactly. But mine were blunt for a couple years so I cant say much 😂
Po każdym przejściu widać cięcie filmu , dlaczego? Żeby ukryć wady tego ostrzenia , a szkoda bo idzie tym jako tako naostrzyć ale proszę bez szwindlu.
