I have been using DMT's sharpeners for years and can't find a better product out there! In the kitchen, its perfect because I never have to buy new knives, I can simply sharpen them and know that they will last longer. In the garden, my wife enjoys the sharp edge on her pruners when she sharpens them. About five years ago I bought her a pair of Felco pruners. Knowing that I wanted them to last, the DMT sharpener allows her to use them year after year without worries. I can't believe I used to sharpen mt scissors and knives without one of those slide through sharpeners. These diamond sharpeners are great.

I got this for my stepfather who has been using an electric sharpener on his crappy knives. I told him that if i gave him a real knife for his birthday i will also give jim a real sharpener. He agreed.

This one really does it's job well, after a short learning curve, you really see the difference in how fast it sharpers as well as how hard it is screw up a blade (compare to electic sharpener). All you need in a bit of practice to sharper at a certain angle and 5-10 minutes of dedication per side.

Really a great product
