Review: Great Product, Great Value! - This is a great product! It is sharpening very well. I feel it "grab" when I run the knife across it, much moreso than the two previous sharpeners I had. The handle is a beautiful medium dark wood color. So much nicer looking than the standard black handles. This sharpener is a great value for the money. It's fairly heavy so it feels like a good quality. The length is perfect.
Review: Great quality - Attractive handle, well constructed and very effective honing of straight edge kitchen knives
