I absolutely love this sharpener! I have a wet stone and an electric sharpener, but I wanted something that was quick and easy. Nothing like starting to cut a tomato and realizing your knife is dull. I just grab it out of the drawer, give my knife a couple swipes, and then I'm back slicing through that tomato like it was butter. It's super lightweight, easy to handle, and works amazingly well... not to mention it's a fantastic price. I plan on buying another for my husband to keep in his shop before he steals this one from me. If you just want an easy-to-use and effective sharpener, I highly recommend this one!
