Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Enhance Your Kitchen Knives with Kyocera Advanced Diamond Hone Sharpener by Mia England

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Everything OK but not shiny

First thing I had to do was disassemble the unit to loosen the grinding wheels which are stuck on the drive shaft and not floating properly. rather large shavings from a chef's knife, and he managed to get the blade back without too much trouble. The downside is that the motor is nowhere near powerful enough. This encourages the slow, methodical approach required when using a diamond sharpener, but means holding the knife so that the blade rests feather-light on the blade. A tip - put a few drops of water on the blade and the knife will sharpen better. Don't submerge the device, wipe it down regularly with a paper towel and clean the wheels when you're done. Don't expect quick results - this isn't for you if that's what you're looking for, but it will get you where you want to be. if you take your time and are patient. This only really works with Kyocera knives unless the other type you're trying to sharpen has the same thin blade and handle shape.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Long time
