Pros & Cons
Pros
Youtube has a kme 101 tutorial on youtube that's useful. This thing requires almost no additional practice to learn how to use and the results are better. It takes time to build the skills necessary, and i've used this product for over a year.
It works beautifully. It outperforms every other system i have ever used. The product is sturdy and easy to use. It is the best value and easiest to use of the three sharpeners i have mentioned.
All of the stones are diamond stones so i only use a little tiny bit of mineral oil on them before i begin the process. I plan to order the optional push knob and coarse and fine stones to bracket the set of four that come with the set. The optional a... Read More
Single bevel broadhead sharpening is the easiest way to get razor sharp.
Cons
With thin blades like fillet knives, this system really struggles. The clamp never completely grips the blade, so there is always a little chance for the blade to tilt down as you are sharpening. A critical part made with excessively wide tolerances.
Highlights
Quality
It is well made and offers adjustabilty for a precise sharp edge
High quality kit the only thing i would’ve done differently is go ahead and get the deluxe kit
So either loctite everything for stability and be unable to store the product properly or be able to store the product properly... Read More
The first knife i tried just for practice came out with an even bevel and hair shaving sharp the first try
Price
100 if you’re worried about the price it will not disappoint
I used it to sharpen an inexpensive chefs knife
I chose to spend the extra 20 for the base and im glad i did
I paid it willingly and it works i just feel like it’s not a very good value
Shipping
I ordered the kit with a stand but did not receive one and the retailer would not send me one or refund the difference but worth the buy
Packaging/appearance
Came as expected everything in perfect condition so far ive sharpened every knife in the kitchen and im loving it this kit will... Read More

Fit and finish of this product is a bit 34meh34 for 200

A lot of the parts that you have to reassemble for each use are held together via tiny screws bolts
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
These tiny screws bolts are very annoying to tighten by hand
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Theyre also equally annoying to tighten with a tool because suddenly you need a tool to put together the product

You also cant loctite these items unless you dont want to be able to store the product in the case it came in because it doesnt fit in that case unless its fully disassembled
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So either loctite everything for stability and be unable to store the product properly or be able to store the product properly but have to reassemble and disassemble it every time you use it with screws bolts that often come loose during use because theyre only barely adequately handtightened
