Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Wicked Edge WE120: Exceptional Precision Knife Sharpener for Enhanced Results by John Blanco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, very high price.

A product's value is measured by its value for money. I've had a dozen different sharpeners over the years and they all work to some degree, including rudimentary wet stones and leather slings. The Lansky system actually does a pretty decent job of sharpening knives for a fraction of the cost. Nothing beats the consistent and reproducible results you can achieve with this system. With a short learning curve and a little patience, this sharpener will cut almost any blade within certain size limits. Very short or very long blades or tools are the real exceptions. Now, the price is undoubtedly high, so it comes down to how much professional reproducible results cost or how to get by with a cheaper system. As for me, I sharpen a lot for myself and friends, so yes. If I wanted to sharpen a knife or two, I couldn't honestly justify the cost. But even with this wonderful technology, I still use my old leather belt with abrasives to polish the edge. Overall, this sling is probably the best real value for sharpening.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • No paint required
