SHARPAL 119N Diamond Knife Sharpener Sharpening Rod, Honing Steel 25 cm / 10 Inch (Extra Fine 1200 Grit Diamond Coated)

Very good sharpening my knife excellent

Does the job well. Instructions for sharpening scalloped blades are very clear.

Sharpens well but seems a little to coarse for my liking. This takes metal off to leave a sharp edge really well, but personally for me anyway it seems a little too coarse, more 500 grit rather than 1000, but it does the job without fuss and so far seems to be holding up well. its still a lot better than those pull through type sharpeners which really destroy knives and I just finish off with a steel to get an acceptable edge on mediocre kitchen knives. Wont be going anywhere near my Wusthof icon though.

I bought this as a present for a friend, on the advice of another friend, who uses knives in a professional capacity. My friend was very clear in his advice. He told me that this is not a sharpening steel, but a honing steel; knives need to first be sharpened with a different method and this should be used for just a final couple of passes at the end, to add a keenness to the blade. If you try to use it to sharpen a blade, rather than hone it, it’s not going to last. Secondly, he feels that this is a domestic item, and therefore aimed at domestic use only. If you try to use it in a professional capacity, it’s not going to last. And thirdly, he told me that honing steels are a consumable item and something that will need to be replaced at some point, depending on the level of skill of the user and the amount of use. Like many things, whether you like a steel or not comes down to personal preference. My friend confirmed that this is a good steel for the money. It is comfortable to hold and well-balanced. The diamond coating is a very fine grade, but that is what he would expect to see, to gain the finish he requires. In conclusion, he said that there are other steels out there that will last a lot longer, but he is a fan of this one.

Does a good job of sharpening and honing kitchen knives etc. Would buy again

After several months in a busy kitchen it's worn all the diamond grit off so don't expect it to hold up in that environment for long, it was good to use at first and did have high hopes as have their two sided diamond sharpening stone and still works well

Wow

Good sharpener but the surface almost feels a little too fine. Time will tell

Buenísima. Solo se tiene q aprender a usarla, en youtube existen tutoriales y quedan los cuchillos muy afilados

包丁がよく切れるようになりました 買って良かったです

Sharpener performance is great.

Muy buen afilador que funciona muy bien y dura toda la vida. Vale la pena su precio.

Apesar de ser uma chaira diamantada não agride tanto a faca por ter uma granulação muito fina, gostei muito da qualidade. Após um mês de uso começou a soltar os grãos de diamante, não sei se é apenas uma falha no meu produto ou se já aconteceu com outros, entrei em contato com a Amazon para devolução, porém por ser um produto internacional, está burocratico para devolver, voui pensar no caso.
