Review on 🔪 Sabatier 3 Stage Folding Knife Sharpener: Ultimate 9-Inch Black Tool by Kristen Simpson

I used this to sharpen my almost 15 year old Wusthof kitchen knife set. I sharpened them once and have been sharpening them with a sharpening steel ever since. I don't use a sharpener and cook daily. The knives are great and work perfectly. However, I do need to sharpen them very regularly over time and I was hoping this knife sharpener would help. The device has three grits that can be used to sharpen knives. You start by running your knife's blade through them in order, and they're helpfully numbered. The action was fast and it only took 8-10 passes for the knives to be well sharpened. It is very important to keep the knives vertical as even the slightest angle will ruin the shape of the blade. The whetstones are angled to allow for the use of blades of different thicknesses, however this means the knife can easily be accidentally rotated. I personally think a sharpener that fits the width of my blades would probably be the best choice. I don't plan to use it regularly - maybe once every few months. Sharpeners remove a lot of steel, and a grinding tool will help your knives last longer and work just as well. When you've invested in an expensive set of kitchen knives, you definitely don't want to shave them into splinters after a few years. So useful, but use with caution.
