Wusthof Precision Edge 2 Knife Sharpener, Synthetic, Black, Two-Stage

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Works brilliantly and brought my old knives back to life in seconds.

Amazing sharpener that is safe and easy to use, I'll never buy another one! Of course you can do better with a whetstone or such but for day to day this ideal.

I have some Wusthof knives, both European & Asian style, and this has put a nice sharp edge back on them. I also used this to sharpen my Victorinox filleting & boning knives,.which I have 'converted' to the Asian angle using this sharpener. They are now scary sharp... holding up a piece of A4 paper it slices through it with ease. I pulled both through the coarse side around 40-50 times using firm pressure to reshape the edge. Then 10-15 times through the fine side using slight pressure. I finished off honing them on my Wusthof steel. This is basically made for Wusthof knives and works well on them as it should. However, it can be used on other makes but you will probably need to spend some time on the coarse side first to reshape the edge and it will take off a bit of metal in doing so. Once this is done then you will probably only need to use the fine side as long as you don't leave it too long between sharpens. Angles are 28˚ for the European & 20˚ for the Asian. If you want a quicker way than a whetstone to sharpen and you don't mind losing a bit of metal from your blade then this does the trick. An afternoon with a set of whetstones is always going to be the ultimate 5 star sharpening method but this does a good enough job for me when I need a quick sharpen.

Mixed reviews but took a chance and am please with the results. I'm sure that a sharper finish could be obtained with a stone but that takes skills I don't have! I do have wusthof knives so assume the blade geometry is ideal. The difference in sharpness before and after use really surprised me and I am very happy with the results.

I recently started working as a chef and bought this along with a set of three wusthof knives. I first tested them on my seemingly sharp knives at home, but once a couple of pulls through this item they were razor sharp and then once at work i proceeded to sharpen the very blunt in house knives with great success. +great at putting the edge back on a blunt knife. +great value for money. +keeps blades at a razor sharp standard. -can wear down blades of lesser quality of metal reasonably quickly.(But that's what sharpening a blade does) Overall a great product that i would recommend to anyone either looking for it in home use or work use.

It is OK for Wusthof knives both the European ones and the Santoku types but don't try it on Global knives,it just does not work on those and might even ruin them. That means that you still need a separate sharpener for Global knives.I don't know about other Japanese makes,my knives are Wusthof and Global. The other problem is that it wears off and then it does not sharpen either kind of knives very well.You will need to replace the sharpener on a fairly regular basis,no spares for it.The sharpener initially is not expensive but the cost soon mounts up over a lifetime - yours or of the knives

Easy to use, great value and quality

After sharpening 3 knifes its no longer useful as it wore out very fast. At this cost it would be cheaper to just buy new knifes when they go blunt... very disappointed with my purchase
