Review on ๐Ÿ”ช RUIXIN PRO RX-008 Professional Knife Sharpener: Complete Sharpening Kit with 8 Whetstones, 360ยฐ Rotation, Stainless Steel, and Fixed Angle Edge - Perfect for Home, Kitchen, Garden Knives/Blades by Donna Harvey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

ideal for kitchen and dining areas

is an affordable option for much more expensive units. In this sense one does not expect perfection. For the price, it certainly does its job well. For example: once set, the angle can be held and repeated on both sides while going through different rocks. The stones are made very thin for a smooth, clean edge. the cut on the blade is correct and flat (not rounded) due to the guide. Easy to change stones Dislikes: You can find a video criticizing the handle that blocks the angle adjustment. These complaints are very real. You need to replace it or take pliers to fix it. A stick that slides in and out (holds the stone) will dangle when dry. Put a drop of oil on the shaft and the knocking will go away. the set screw for the table clamp can be slightly flattened (a bit rough) on the thread. The biggest problem is the blade clamp. When clamping the knife, you need to adjust the angle on the blade, rotate the blade and check again. I have found that if the blade was fully concave I would get a 5-6 degree difference when flipping it. Barely jamming the blade in the holder, he stayed within 1 degree, although there are many such dislikes. I'm glad I bought this. My blades are sharper than ever. I would recommend.
