15 Degree Knife Sharpener

Wouldn’t recommend! I thought i could easily sharpen my knives quickly! To a high level of sharpness! The same as my stones! Not at all ! In fact it made a few of my knives blades blunter !

I used this on a small "Old Timer" pocketknife that I had carried for years. In the past, I normally sharpened it by hand on a carbide stone, with reasonable success. The first time I used this sharpening tool, I got razor sharp, very uniform edges with very little effort. The 15-degree bevel gives much sharper edges than a typical similar sharpener made for kitchen knives with a coarser bevel. I touch up the blades often with just a few strokes, keeping the edges extremely sharp. At the price, this is a bargain and a must-have sharpening tool, either for kitchen knives or pocketknives.

For around $15, this is an okay sharpener—it does what it’s supposed to, within reason. I’m honestly not sure why some people are complaining. You’re not going to get professional results from a tool at this price point. That said, I would absolutely not use this on expensive knives. If you care about your blades, use a proper sharpening stone. This is more of a quick, budget-friendly option. One thing to be aware of: if you press down too hard while using it, you can damage the blade. The packaging even warns about this, and I’ve seen others mention it too—so use a light touch. I picked this up to revive an old vintage Pierre Santini knife set from my parents from the ’60s/'70s that was duller than a butter knife. The 15° angle definitely helped bring some life back into them, which is exactly what I needed. Overall, it’s a decent, low-cost tool for older or lower-value knives—but not something I’d trust with anything high-end.

Works great, does just what I needed. Watched America's Test Kitchen and made my decision.

Best knife sharpener I’ve used yet

This a simple yet very effective sharpener for 15-degree blades. A few strokes restores an edge to a nice sharpness.
