Great Product

This sharpener does a great job and is easily stored at the front of a drawer for quick access. I have had mine for several years and am never lacking a sharp blade.

The sharpener makes a great gift, and I'm in the process of giving one to each of the girls in our family.

Good value

Excellent product for the price. I like manual sharpeners over electric - I don't trust them on my good knives. I was sharpenening with a sharpening steel. This is Ten times better ! I would reccomend to anyone who has invested in a good set of knives. You won't believe the difference if you do not sharpen your knives regularly.

Stainless Steel Twin Select Knife Sharpener

Very robust and easy to use knife sharpener. I particularly liked the rubber feet which adds stability when operating. The product has two blades, one for course sharpening - removing any nicks in the blade etc. and the other for routine use to maintain a good sharp blade.

The instructions for use are a bit basic but adequate and the pictures on the website make it look a bit odd but once in use the reason for the peculiar shape becomes obvious and its performance is virtually unbeatable in a manually operated sharpener.

Easy to use and works well!
