This is a two stage sharpener for your not serrated edge knives. The first stage of the sharpening tool is a coarse stone. The second stage is a stone a little more fine to take the burrs off of the knife and fine tune the edge a bit more. Like most whet stone sets there are 2 sets like this system without all of the hassles with holding the knife at the proper angle to get the edge. This sharpener is very compact and light weight for easy storage. Since it is compact it works for the smaller knives as well, instead of most that are only good for French Knives and the sorts. Possibly the most handy part of this sharpener is the suction cup on the bottom that helps hold it in place. The casing to the sharpener seems to be made of a fairly durable plastic.
From what I have seen with this sharpener you cant not go wrong with the price for the quality of edge it puts on knives. The suction cup that holds it on the bottom makes it much safer for sharpening blades. You don't have to worry about the thing jumping all over the place and losing control of the knife. This hard plastic housing appears to be very durable and will stand the test of time. I used it on this 20 year old knife shown in the picture. It revitalized the blade and improved the edge on it greatly. This knife was so beat up it took me about 30 minutes on the coarse side alone. From there on the fine side of the sharpener I did about 5 minutes of work.
If you are in the market for a knife sharpener this is a great choice for the cost. It will provide a nice edge to your knives. I would like to thank Dragsys and affiliates for sending me this sharpener to try out and leave my opinion. I look forward to using this for many years to come.
