5 out of 5 Stars
I had originally purchased this sharpener with the thought of bringing it to my 2 week camping event for my kitchen out there. Most the knives we have in storage out there for the camp kitchen are pretty sad & couldn’t really cut much & I wanted to have something everybody use. (Some people just aren’t good with a basic stone) At this point, I kind of want to keep it here at home...lol… I was excited to receive this & almost immediately opened it & tested it out on a couple of the old knives I have here at home. For anyone who has ever used a sharpener like this, you already know that there is bit of a knack to using them successfully. It’s all about the correct angel & speed. I would suggest if you have never used one of these before & your worried, you can start with a knife you don’t care about so you can get the feel for it on something that if you flub it up its not an issue. Generally it won’t take more than a couple swipes to pick it up.


****TIPS****
Place the sharpener on a firm surface and keep a firm hold on the device. Guide the blade of the knife at an angle of 90 ° to the sharpener into the slot. Hold the knife upright and pull it using light pressure straight from the base of the blade to the tip. - Repeat this process.
Using the first level (coarse), diamond-coated abrasive wheels sharpen your blunt knife. In the second level (fine), the ceramic slats can be used for the regular sharpening of blades as well as for fine sharpening following on from level 1.
****Do not pull the knife backwards and forwards****
Also suitable for serrated knives. In this case, use only level 2.


Pros:
Easily sharpen multiple types of knives with one unit. Three different choices of course, fine, & ceramic. Easy to use
Cons:
At the moment there is not much in the “con” category I have to say other than nothing beats a basic sharpening stone.  That not to say this is bad, because it’s not in any way. Jus that if you a fan of the old style, you will always be a fan of them.
In my opinion, I would easily recommend this sharpener to anyone looking for a great handheld multi-level sharpening tool
