If your good knives are getting dull this steel is the way to go. A few swipes every time you use the knife will bring the edge back. We have a set of chicago cutlery that has been rejuvinated with this steel.

I took a...dull knife and in 1-2 min had it slicing paper with this sharpener. On my good knives 30 seconds to put on a really nice edge. I'm very pleased so far, and expect that this will be less wearing on my knives than using stones. I'll be using this regularly to put on a quick edge while cooking. Highly recommended.

Works great--better than anything else--but plan on buying a new one in a few years. The surface wears out and clogs up--happens with steel sharpeners too. I am on my third of these diamond sharpeners. Worth the money if you cannot stand dull knives--but it will be a recurring expense.

This is an awesome tool. We have had Shun Classic kitchen knives and this sharpener for about six years. This tool keeps them factory sharp for about a year and a half before they need to be sent back to Shun for a factory new re-sharpening. Some reviewers suggested this tool wears out. I disagree. It does need to be cleaned regularly as it will clog with the fine metallic particles generated while sharpening. A little dish washing soap on the back (rough)side of a kitchen sponge works great.

At first the company sent me an 8 inch sharpening steel, however they have since sent me the correct size which was A 10 inch sharpening steel, and they also allowed me to keep the 8 inch sharpening steel which I have since donated to a local food pantry that feeds the homeless in our area. I would definitely order from this company in the future.

I gave this to my new son-in-law for Christmas. He really likes it and it seems to be a good quality.

I added this tool to my travel bag. I travel throughout the year visiting family & friends. When asked to help prepare meals and find a dull knife, a few quick strokes on the sharpening steel makes preparation fun, instead of a struggle.
