• Works surprisingly well
  I have had this product for 2 years and it works very well for me - surprisingly, in that I've never before had great luck with DIY "sharpeners".
  It brings back the sharpness of my large Global chef's knife very well. Also, it works on some of my other knives (such as a low-cost Oxo that has a thin blade) - even though these other knives do not have the same angle as the Global.

Next thing you know, you have a knife that is good as new. My Global knives have gone from dull and giving me a lot of trouble cutting through vegetables to being able to just set the knife on top of a vegetable and let gravity do... more info

• Classy Chef
  Well, I purchased this product at the same time I ordered the Global knife since it seemed to be recommended. It's just ok. Nothing to rave about. In fact, I like my little fish-shaped one I got from Home Depot for just $10 much better.
