Pros & Cons
Pros
This sharpener sharpens all but the thickest knives. Maintenance of exact angles is a cinch. Preserves quality of wustof and henckel knives.
Small footprint, no electric required, customizable angle to handle all of my knives. Even does the serrated types. Large grip makes it hard to hurt yourself while sharpening and honing a blade.
Kitcheniq with the ceramic stones is much better than the smiths version which uses carbide cutters. Carbide pull sharpeners tear a blade edge up. This allows for durability and redundancy, but it also sacrifices how well a blade can cut.

They covered return shipping which was nice of amazon
Competitiveness
This model by kitcheniq with the ceramic stones is much better than the smiths version which uses carbide cutters
This certainly works better and is more versatile than a similar yet more expensive fixed blade sharpener we bought at a local ... Read More

Whetstones may have their use reshaping or serious work but the whole process takes far too long and requires more skill and practice than i have to get good consistent results
