| |  | Kitchen & Housewares J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener |  | | | | | | | | | | Rating:  - Pretty Darn Good - but not like "new" edge, but FAST
Having tried sharpening my Henkle and other knives on what goes for sharpening stones these days (small), the metal in the knives is so hard it can be very tedious and if you are not careful the results are not so hot either.As we don't have a lot of time to spend sharpening, our knives would tend to get dull - which was the reason I bought good knives in the first place.
This thing gives like 90% of perfect edge results in less than a minute on touch up, and only a few minutes on truely dull knives - really works great for those who don't have a lot of time.No, its not the same as a factory edge, but its also reasonably priced and works fast.
Bonus: Well built, attractive, sturdy, great gadget although my wife doesn't let me leave on the counter you could as its attractive in my opinion.
Rating:  - worn out
I thought this was great when I got it.Now, after several years it doesn't do a darn thing.
Rating: - Good for home use
Good product for the home. You are not going to get razor sharp knifes lke a professional sharpening but not bad.
Rating:  - Awesome at honing / touching up an edge
To get a really first rate edge, I use a Lansky system with the guide rods and different angles.However, that is a pain for a quick touch up because it requires clamping the blade down and setting up the rods. This Henckel's model is awesome for touching up an edge or honing as it is also called.I do not use it for re-setting an edge or sharpening.The difference...honing is that last step that gets it really sharp.Sharpening can be thought of as re-setting an edge that has been really dulled.The carbide wheels are really supposed to sharpen, but I don't get very good results.The ceramic wheels are simply the best way I know to get a good quick hone.
Rating:  - Try another sharpener
We have Henckels knives, so figured the match would be a good idea.Didn't seem to matter.They shreaded one of the blades, and the others are just not really sharpening.The metal/ceramic sharpeners are a good idea, but not from this company.You can also invest in a sharpening stone, that will do just fine, just a little more work.
