Pre-set, 2 stage sharpener for optimum results
Perfect for all types of Global, Porsche and Asian knives
Wheels are lubricated with water to aid the sharpen process and minimise fiction
Also available in a black & red combination

5 out of 5 stars It does exactly what it says on the box   November 2, 2008
Superb piece of kit, I only wish I'd discovered it sooner. I've never been satisfied with the results I'd obtained with a steel and I've been looking for an inexpensive, non-bulky device to sharpen a wide variety of old and new knives. Thankfully I've finally found it in the black/Grey sharpener.

It really is as easy and safe to use as the other reviewers have commented. Fill the small reservoir with water, replace the cover and simply glide the knife back and forth with gentle pressure between each of the two stones __ job done and perfect results every time. Highly recommended.

After struggling with sharpening stones and steels for many years with limited success, I can now push them all to the back of the cupboard due to this superb wet sharpener. All my knives are now back up to shop bought sharpness with just six or seven stokes through this thing! highly recommended.

I've never been able to master sharpening knives with a steel - but now my worries are over. My knives are all razor sharp, I've been using this sharpener constantly for about a year and I have just bought replacement wheels not because I need them but "just in case" because I don't want to be without it. Cannot recommend this highly enough to anyone who has ever struggled with a steel or resigned themselves to living with / replacing blunt knives!

I have now had my sharpener for a couple of years and it is one of the best gadgets I have in the kitchen.

It really does keep my global knives good a sharp.

Frighteningly sharp in fact!

It is so easy to use, and you get a perfect edge on your knives every time.

Recommended.

I am rubbish at sharpening anything, tried a steel and a whetstone but I have absolutely no patience with that sort of thing. I do however like to use sharp knives and this sharpener is a godsend. I don't have expensive knives (actually have VERY cheap ones) but this tool brought an amazing edge to them. I would recommend this sharpener to anyone.
