Block knife Sharpener and Honer (Black with yellow)

I bought this sharpener recently so that I could sharpen katanas without damaging the blades. This little sharpener does indeed work. I read the instructions and watched the video online. I used it with the thumb grip facing up and pulled the blades through the pins at a 90 degree angle to the sharpener. It works very well. I also used it on some kitchen knives and pocket knives with no problems. Just remember to oil the pins before you start sharpening and this little tool will work great. It doesn't work as well if you don't lubricate the pins. I used 3-1 oil. I really think this is more of a honing tool as it hardly removes any metal from the blade.

This knife sharpener is two things. Dangerous, 2 does not even work no matter how many videos are out there. I know how to sharpen knives and actually tried this and it ruined my blade!

Makes you knives and swords razor sharp. Just be careful when sharpening a sword. The rods will scratch the surface of the sword if it comes to contact with it. But if your careful and run a sword through it slowly it will make it razor sharp.

How long will the surface last?? Anyone?Easy to use. Works reasonably well.

Gets my knives real sharp but takes a little more than just two or three passes through the sharpener like shown on u tube. It works though.

You can't beat this product for $10.99. What a great product for a great price!

Good knife sharpener and easy to use. Can sharpen any knife. You can also go to YouTube videos to watch sales representatives demonstrates in how to sharpen different knives.

Just an ok product. The videos posted by the owner on you tube definitely make it seem like it works better. I tried large serrated knife and it didn’t work at all. Good for quick touch ups in the field but that’s about it. :(
