🔪 RUIXIN PRO RX-008 Professional Knife Sharpener: Complete Sharpening Kit with 8 Whetstones, 360° Rotation, Stainless Steel, and Fixed Angle Edge - Perfect for Home, Kitchen, Garden Knives/Blades Review

The instructions are terrible. I wouldn't even call them instructions. Getting the right angle is a nightmare. The swipe motion seems very faint and I'm not sure if it keeps the angle I set. I give (poor thing). I get the "Work Sharp Ken Onion" tool. I should have gotten that first.

Even before I bought it, I knew the instructions would suck, just from experience with Chinese products. As a machinist with over 30 years of experience, unless the components were complete rubbish, I knew the design had the qualities I was looking to sharpen. The quality of the components is pretty good. There are no instructions on how to hold the knife by the clip that holds the blade so the blade stays at the same angle when flipped. So you have to adjust the angle every time you flip it…

Another reviewer correctly noted that if you grip the blade and check the angle you get a different angle when turning. I found that in myself; I got 10 degrees and then turned it over and it showed 15 degrees! It will destroy the edge if sharpened this way. I've found that if you insert the knife ONLY 2/3 into the clamp and then tighten, you get the same angle reading before and after flipping. The knife is held very tightly so you don't have to worry about it slipping off. Once you have…

Be sure to check them side by side each time you use them. Make yourself a set of spacers of different sizes to fit them. I ruined the engraving on a $350 custom knife when I first tried it. It was inclined at 8° from one bevel to the other, making the cutting line uneven on the bevel by about 2 mm. Some might not complain about 2mm, but as a maker of custom knives, this variation is unacceptable for the class of knives I make. I had to spend the next 4 hours fixing the etch and then I made…

available There are tons of videos online showing how to use/configure this product. Most of them are completely insane. I've seen people try to show this thing with half the parts installed backwards. Included. The manufacturer has a decent video that if you pay attention you can get what you need. I've seen a number of testimonials that also show how to use your phone to get a corner. Yes. I dont know. I only use the marker method. When it comes to sharpening. It's probably one of the…

I like it - it works well - although it's hard to pinpoint the angle - they say the bottom angle is already 15* - so you need this to what add They took the lead but I checked my device with the alignment app and it showed the floor was only about 9* so I don't know if the app is off or the device is different? I tested the application at a known level, the difference was only 2 degrees. Anyway - I went with the advertised angle of 15* and then added 3* to get 18 but wow - it was so low it…

I didn't have any success with this product at first because I thought my kitchen knives were semi-sharp and could start with a medium grit stone. I wasn't successful, so I started with the smallest stone and gradually worked my way up. Boy can you tell the difference? When I reached the medium grit stone, the knife was very sharp. Then at the end. HOLY COW. I've never been intimidated by sharp knives until now. Because that knife was SHARP. If I ended it with a block, it would literally be a…

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…

I'm new to stone cutting, so my experience is limited. I tried using a flat whetstone but couldn't maintain a fairly constant angle - some knives sharpened better than others. It takes a lot of practice to be successful at it, and most people don't have the time for it. I only want to sharpen my knives once a month or so which is why I bought this one. So far things are working as expected. Setup is a little finicky, especially when trying to find the right angle. I wish there was some sort of…
