KUMA Kitchen Knife Sharpener: User-Friendly 8 Inch Steel Honing Rod for Sharpening Chef's Knife, Carving Knife, Chopping Knives, and More! Easily Hone and Recover Your Sharp Edge Today! Review

This sharpener works really well and seems to have sharpened my 7 year old. old Henckels knives are good. My original Henckels OEM steel was no longer up to the task, which definitely brought my knives back to their original sharpness. Overall a very reasonable price for the quality of the product. Many Thanks.

I don't know much about sharpening staffs other than the one my wife had was smooth as glass and sharpened everything so I decided to buy one liked the reviews so I bought yours and every knife in the drawer is razor sharp and we love it, a good sturdy tool and once you get the hang of it you will use it all the time .

Professional chef. Wanted a new, small grinder to take to work. This thing has arrived and guess what, you get what you pay for. The shaft came out of the box and every time I want to sharpen the knife I have to manually re-turn it, I don't have time for that. Kuma's rod went straight to the trash and I bought the Shun. End of the story.

I've been using it for a few months now and I really like this knife sharpener. Appears to be made of fine chrome Japanese steel. I've used it a lot since I got it.

I'm sure I'll have a long life just sharpening knives.

This honing machine was not delivered fully assembled in its packaging. It consists of 3 separate parts connected with screws: shaft, guard and handle. They were partially/loosely screwed when I received them. I suppose it will take constant effort to keep it from loosening or unscrewing after a few uses. I expected it to be a one piece piece with a molded or composite handle like most honing stones. I have returned this item.

Bought this along with a Kuma chef's knife and love it for the price y'all can't make a mistake! I had to prove this to my friend who is a chef. His argument was that if you don't spend hundreds, if not more, on a chef's knife, you're wasting your money. Well I've been using this knife daily for almost 4 months and only recently have I noticed a couple of spots that could use a sharpening so I brought a sharpener and it's a decent quality.

Works. I mostly use (2) knives. I had an old, third, blunt knife that I didn't throw away. I used this sharpener on the third knife (and I sharpen almost every time), it worked noticeably the first time. Sharpening every other time, even for just a few moves, is all that's needed, if at all. But then again, this sharpener works. I like a little more weight. I like that it's strong. I. I like that it fits easily in a drawer. (I opted for a large sharpener instead of a counter.) Ultimately, I…

Bought as a gift for my father, a tool he defiantly needed, many of the knives he owns have seen their fair share of utensils in the past and dealt with the abuse that always comes with the cooking. But after a while my father's knives got a little dull and annoying. Nobody needs a dull knife in the kitchen; Dull knives can cause the food you're preparing to turn into pancakes or fluffy pulp. Especially the chef. No chef wants to be an ingredient in a dish because they've been a little careless
