Excellent sharpener
I know two other ppl who have this sharpener and they love it. It is specifically designed for Japanese style narrow-angled blades, but it will work on other knives too. I took this thing out of the box and used it on a bunch of my cheaper, older, dull knives and it worked very well. They feel sharper than they ever were brand new.
The sharpener is easy to use but the box means it when it says don't apply too much pressure. The blade will get stuck or the stone won't turn right so the proper light pressure and smooth back and forth motion is important.
Perfect Knife Sharpener
I just got this in the mail yesterday. I had not sharpened my 12" Global Chef Knife since I got it two years ago. It was hurting and it would not even slice thru a tomato's skin! I followed the directions to sharpen it and after eight back and forth motions over each wheel, I cut thru a tomato with no effort at all!
Not sure how long it'll stay sharp, but this product is so easy to use I don't really care!
I even used it on my German knives and it worked real well on those too.
MinoSharp 440/BR -- Fantastic Sharpener
I purchased one of these several months ago after reading a favorable review. It's great, super, fantastic . . . I'd add more superlatives but I'd rather you read the rest of this review. I have other sharpeners and a selection of diamond-surface sharpening devices both hand held and the larger 4" x 10" units. I was skeptical that this small unit could live up to the hype. I was wrong. This little thing is incredible. The instructions understate how many times the knife should be run across the blades especially on a dull knife (make sure you always have water inside the device per the instructions). On a dull knife, double the recommendation of cycles.
You will quickly find that some of your older non-serrated knives can cut just as well as knives costing a lot more. If I'm going to be cooking for a while, I always get this out, so I can make sure my knives are re-sharpened (in case my wife or college-age children have used the knives in the meantime and dulled them...
