  Good and Safe Knife Sharpener December 23, 2008
Some of my favorite kitchen knives had become dull and unsafe to use. In search of a knife sharpener, I started my research on the Amazon website. Based on the reviews of this sharpener, I decided to purchase it, and I am satisfied with the performance. All the knives that I sharpened came out really sharp. All it takes is just three or four swipes of the knife on this sharpener.
 Really shaves metal, a little dangerous handling December 11, 2008
The good:
+ Really shaves metal, very easily and quickly (see below)
The bad:
- As long as you have steady hand-eye coordination, I think it is completely safe, but just the fact that you have to hold the knife upside-down is a little dangerous preposition for some people (also depends on the knife handle and backside shape)
- The true reason for this rating: I think it's shaving too much metal from my santoku knife, which makes me think this sharpening angle is not made for santoku. I didn't want to risk ruining the santoku angle so I'm using a Wuesthof model instead. I wish I had another non-santoku knife to try this on.
Works Very Well December 9, 2008
I bought this a week ago, and I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations. Very easy to use. Makes even, razor sharp edges.

I'll pit this sharpener up against any of the expensive contraptions. When the cutting edges wear out after 30 or 40 sharpenings, reverse the edges. When it wears out, so what. Just buy another one and you are still dollars ahead of anything else.
Does Just What You Expect November 23, 2008
Prior to purchasing, i was skeptical that such a cheap item could achieve the desired result (sharp knives). Boy was I wrong. This thing will make a dull knife razor sharp in less than 30 seconds. It's super easy to use and feels very safe.
I highly recommend.
