Kyocera Advanced Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener for Ceramic and Steel Knives

It's very easy to use and gives very sharp blades. Sharpen both steel and ceramic knives. However, it will only sharpen knives with blades that extend below the handle; blades that flush with the handle cannot be sharpened properly as the handle gets in the way.

works incredibly well.

The design is very good, very easy to use and can leave very precise nice finish on steel or ceramic knife. However, battery powered engine is not big enough for heavy knifes. It stops the machine right away.

I have had a set of Kyocera knives for about 5 years and they had lost their original sharpness. Kyocera will sharpen your knives for free but by the time you pay for shipping both ways this looked like the best option. The knives I have are 7", 5" and 3" long and the only one that I cannot get the full length sharpened is the 3". On that one I was able to get about 1/2 of the length sharpened. The other two were able to be sharpened on the whole length. It was easy and took only a short time and it really made a difference. I think it was well worth the purchase.

Bought this to sharpen my Kyocera ceramic knife, but now it just sits on the shelf. It is battery powered, and lacks the oomph to sharpen the blade. **At all.** It is a toy tool, not a serous sharpening device. Don't waste your money. When your ceramic knife gest dull, toss it and get a real knife, whether carbon steel or stainless.

Once I got the hang of how much pressure to apply while sharpening, this unit has restored my Kyocera knives back to new, sharp condition.

This sharpener is smaller than what I had originally, about half the size. It sounds ratty and not as strong. Still, it does sharpen those ceramic knives but takes much longer.

The unit is nicely packaged and easy to load with batteries. That's about the best of it. When you push the button to spin the wheel, the motor sounds cheap and loud. Thick blades don't load easily, and thin blades sometimes seem to not contact the diamond wheel. The motor is also underpowered and stalls out easily, which is also somewhat of a bonus because maintaining alignment on the wheel is approximate at best and there is no tactile feedback. The fact that it stalls out means it's really hard to get a deep bevel (or any bevel at all, actually). This sharpener sort of works and it sort of improves the edge sometimes, but it's not worth the time or the money.

Une première livraison avec un article qui ne fonctionnait pas du tout. un nouvel article a été renvoyé avant même que je n'ai eu le temps de renvoyer le mien. Parfait pour le SAV !!! L'article fonctionne sur piles c'est un peu dommage, il est à la hauteur des prix des couteaux Kyocera mais c'est décevant de mettre aussi cher pour un aiguisage d'entretien... car un gros aiguisage n'est pas possible avec cet article !

affilatore affidabile per i coltelli, semplicissimo da usare, non bisogna fare troppa forza sulla lama altrimenti perde un po' di forza, ma con calma i coltelli vengo ben affilati. Non riesco a farlo per le.forbici, ma forse sono io l'impedito.

lo compre por necesidad de afilar lo cuchillos de la cocina... pero no puedo afilarlos todos por culpa de las mediadas

My only mistake was not reading the older reviews. This product is a joke. I would keep it if the price were $3.

V bad product. Returned They resend same.. Again returned
