Pros

For those of you who sharpen chisels, the idea of a burr formed during sharpening seems exactly the same for the knife sharpening process using this device. Used the trizor xv to sharpen old dull stainless steel kitchen knives that previously had been...  Read More

My henckels are sharper than new. To those who say this unit scratched their i'm not sure how you managed that.



Cons

The only reason i purchased this item is because it could be serviced. I believe, someone intentionally mislead the customers with misleading title and description.
