CWOVRS Knife Sharpeners Professional, RUIXIN PRO RX-008 Knife Sharpening Kit, 360° Flip Rotation Fixed-Angle, Precise Slider & Fixture, Kitchen Chef Knife Sharpening System, 9 Stones+1 Leather Strop

One stone arrived broken in half and one stone wore out fairly quickly. Customer service very quickly offered to replace all the stones for free and gave me advice as to why the stone wore out.the kit itself is very good, although i have made a few modifications to mine to make it more robust.very happy with the kit and seller

As the instructions are poor it took me a little while to work out exactly how to use this. Once I worked it all out it, it works very well - giving a good smooth finish to the cutting edge. Finished edges cut like a razor. Only criticism is that the low grit stones wear very quickly (although you can buy spares on line) and on certain narrow blades with a tight grind angle (15 degrees) the knife holder gets in the way so you have to grind as two stages, moving the holder so you can work around it .

I have been avidly seeking this device in form and function for some years, always seeming to get a version from another manufacturer that doesn’t meet expectations in quality or function. That changed when I received this. It’s quality is excellent. Properly sized to accommodate various sized blades including long carving or hunting knives. Additionally the blade clamp is robust and secure - again a typical flaw in others I have purchased. This also has flexibility to fine tune to particular blade shapes or stroke lengths to ensure to slipping off the edge of the blade and bumping the sharpened edge. Overall it’s an 8.5 out of 10 but if you purchase the additional stones to supplement it’s a definite 9.5.. very pleased with this and feel the value was good. And of course it puts an excellent accurate reset to any blade and finishes with a razor edge

biggest pile of crap ever.The clamp dont hold the stones securely, 2 fell out and broke on the floor, the clamp cannot hold the stones in tight at all they keep wanting to fall out. All the time i was sharpening the whole thing wanted to fall apart no matter how tight i did the screws.Ruined 2 knives with this piece of crap not with one single penny.DO NOT BUY THIS.

With newer sharpeners on the market that do the job in a minute or so, it’d be easy to dismiss this product as ‘dated’ or ‘old-school’ but there’s a certain meditative value to setting this one up and spending an hour working through the kitchen knives that you should factor-in because you don’t get that experience with those other products. It’s not intuitive but the instructions are clear and there’s a feeling of having acquired a new skill once you’re set up and using it.And yes, it makes knives insanely sharp!

Brought this as a knife maker to finish edges on my knives.The jig is good, enables accurate angles consistently.The wet stones supplied are awful, the 120 grit stone as pictured shattered in the holder after use on three knives.Would I say buy thus, yes if it came without stones and was a lot cheaper

Easy to use with patience and a angle finder you can get even the worse knife back to a sharp edge good value but would of liked to know what each stones purpose was, and how long you would use each one and when?

It's a bit fiddly to set up, but well worth it. I like sharp knives, and the kitchen sharpeners I've tried in the past have not made the grade. This puts a samurai sword edge onto knives, at a perfectly consistent and controllable angle.I am also a DIY enthusiast, and wanted something I could use to sharpen whittling knives with, too. Sharpening these blades up to 10,000 grit leaves a blade that you can shave with - it has worked very well on these. I have also used it to sharpen plane blades and chisels. These are a bit more difficult to set up, but provides a perfectly smooth edge once you get there.
