Amazon.com Review
Diamond abrasives in this tool actually sharpen a knife rather than simply realign its edges, as most sharpeners and sharpening steels do. For right-handers and left-handers alike, it's simplicity itself to use. Grasp the handle and draw a straight-edge blade back and forth through the stage 1 guide 25 to 50 times to coarsely bevel it. Then move the blade to the stage 2 guide and draw back and forth 10 times through finer diamond crystals for the second, fine-edged bevel. Serrated blades go only through stage 2. By turning, rollers demonstrate that a blade is properly straight so it is being beveled at the precise angle required. Lightweight but tough, the sharpener is formed of silver and black plastic. It's 6-1/2 inches by 2-1/4 inches, small enough to take on a camping or hunting trip. --Fred Brack

Summary: Finally, a knife sharpener that does both kinds of knives. I love the ease of sharpening my knives whenever they need it. 2007-12-02
Comment: This is a great tool in the kitchen. I leave my Chef's multi-edge sharpener out on the counter and whenever any of my knives need to be sharpened it gets done in just minutes. It truly does a great job, even on serrated knives. I love it.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Money 2007-06-01
Comment: This knife sharpener does not work well and isn't worth the money. If I still had my sales receipt I'd return it to the store. It barely sharpens my knives and I've followed the directions, read and reread them to make sure I was following the correct procedure. Don't waste your money on this product.

Summary: Good Product for the Price 2007-04-15
Comment: If you are looking to purchase an inexpensive, lightweight, compact, easy to use knife sharpener, this is the model to get. I have only a few decent knives that I use regularly and did not want to invest in an expensive sharpener so I gave this one a try. I was pleased with the results. Both my straight-edged and serrated knives came out substantially sharper after sweeping them through the recommended twenty-five strokes. The blades appeared to be evenly honed as well. The best part of it is the ease of use and the small, yet sturdy structure that can be easily stored even in a very small kitchen area. I am unsure how the results would compare to a costly electric sharpener, but for general use in a home kitchen this knife sharpener does a fair job.

Summary: This is a good product. 2007-03-24
Comment: this is a fine product. I saved a couple of old knives- high carbon steel. I was unable to sharpen them for years. So for the money, it's sure worth it. And it takes only a few minutes.

Summary: Inexpensive dummy-proof sharpening 2006-10-21
Comment: Bought one of these recently to replace an older model that had been well-used. (These do need replacing every once in a while, as the diamond grit wears down.) Thought I'd share some tips here.
First, let me point out that the turning wheels in the center are a guide to make you hold the knife upright. The wheels may not be turning throughout your "swipe" if you are using a thin-bladed knife.
Second, you should use a feather-light touch when "swiping." The cutting edge of the knife is very thin, and you do not want to push it down in the groove and damage it. Use a long, sweeping stroke, light and smooth.
Third, to get the best use of this sharpener, every so often you'll have to clean out the metal dust that collects in the grooves. If the bottom of the groove is silvery-shiny when you look down at it, take a small, stiff, clean brush and whisk the groove until the original gray appears again.
I believe that the two slots on this sharpener correspond to the last two (and most gentle) slots on the manufacturer's three slot electric sharpeners. Thus, the first slot sharpens and the second slot hones. The first slot won't be used as often as the second slot.
The edge you get with this gizmo probably won't be as nice as the edge you'd get from an expert hand on the whetstone, but it will keep the family kitchen knives cutting well for many years.
