This little sharpener works awesome. Puts a good clean edge on any knife in no time. It seems to be magnitized to hold the metal residue for easy cleaning. I love this product

This product was recommended by cutlery whole sale dealer based on it "high quality". Well, they were right, the quality of the finish is superb and it produces a great edge. The medium 600 grit produces results like a soft Arkansas oil stone. The finish it leaves is very similar to the Soft Arkansas stone when examined under a 10X loupe. The diamond cuts with very light strokes and doesn't care if it is sharpening softer carbon blades or the newer hard stainless blades of quality manufactures such as Case or Buck. I have used this sharpener for years with great results. It even sharpens the razor blades in my utility knives as fast as changing the blade. This is really a top quality product that really works.

I have the smaller version of the this sharpener which has finally worn down after 10 years. Now I use this new sharpener for initial honing and my worn one for a final fine edge. The sharpener works very well on good kitchen knives. It is a bit rough at first but after while it will give a good smooth edge finish.

We needed a sharpener to take on the road. Sharp knifes are a must at the lake, camping etc. and having the large version of this diamond sharpener, we tried the small one for portability. A winner. Does the job beautifully.
