Review on πŸ”ͺ ProntoPro Hone Manual Knife: Fast, Precise Sharpening for Euro-American and Asian Style Knives - Diamond Abrasive, 3-Stage, Black by Amanda Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice sharpener that saves your old blades

This sharpener rescued some old battered straight edge steak knives from the mid 60's that hung in drawers for decades (I practiced sharpening them as a kid and I didn't work very well). It gives a very sharp edge to every knife I've used it with, but it's not necessarily the prettiest edge due to the micro-scratches it leaves. For this reason I didn't want to use it for my "fancy" knives. Also, and this is very important if your knife isn't already sharpened to a precise angle, any groove you use (and pretty much none of mine) seems to require an inordinate number of strokes (e.g. up to 20 times). . or more than the guide recommends) to actually re-sharpen the blade so you can give it a nice edge. . Just keep grinding; eventually you will get there.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
