MOVIRON Professional Knife Sharpener Knife Sharpening Kit System, 360° Flip Design, Rotation Fixed-Angle, Stainless Steel Kitchen Chef Knife

Had an issue with my order so I contacted the seller and they corrected the problem quickly. Amazing customer service.Like with everything else practice makes better. I am achieving a sharper edge each time I use it. I also bought the diamond whetstone which was a good move. I noticed that with the diamond whetstones the blade has a polished look and sharper edge.The best part is that once you set the angle it does give repetitive results. So if you struggle with keeping the knife at a desired angle when using a whetstone, this might work for you.A suggestion I do have is to add pads to the knife holder. It has left some light scuff marks on one of my knives.

I read all the reviews prior to ordering. Some of them were stellar, others less than. One of the complaints I read was that the sharpener came with substandard parts. I don’t know where they ordered there from, but the quality of my sharpener was extremely good. I feel that it will hold up to years of use. The only negative I can offer, is that I suggest you upgrade the stones to the Diamond stones. The stones that came with the unit were good, but the Diamond stones are superior. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

For someone who for years have sharpened knives using wet stones this is quite the tool. It is faster and much more accurate and repetable.It is also easier to use on some of the longer knives that I use.I've already shown it to several of my friends and we took a suntoku blade which was very dull and brought it to its "base" shape then proceed to sharpen it.It didvery well taking off the massive amounts of metal to even out the base shape.I have already ordered some extra stones in anticipation of sharpening knives for some of my non-sharpening friends.

Initial setup was fairly easy, although setting the honing angle took a bit of thinking. Why not just spell out the angle to find on the cell phone app should be X rather than to allude to it? Once that had been worked through, the next problem was that the set screws and tightening nuts do not hold very well using finger strength alone. This sent us to internet videos to find out what others had done to solve the problem. Pliers were the best option, although that solution quickly led to the failure of the nylon ball housing. Now we have to manually hold that part of the apparatus while sharpening. A simple design change of flattening one side of the shaft should be considered to correct this deficiency. Once these challenges were behind us, we were able to sharpen ... MoreInitial setup was fairly easy, although setting the honing angle took a bit of thinking.

While it takes a bit to get it set up (watch the video and search online for the other questions you will have), it works pretty well and you can create a sharp edge with the included wet stones. I bought some of the higher grit stones as well, but didn't have oil on hand to further hone the blades. They are very sharp now and should become scary sharp once I use the additional stones.The table I have it installed on doesn't have a lip on the bottom and I do worry it might slide off when rotating the knife. As such, I hold the base with one hand and rotate with the other. Can be a bit tricky with a chef's knife or larger, but isn't an issue with the smaller blades.Overall, this puts an edge on the knives which is better than when they were new. Just sorry I wasted ... MoreWhile it takes a bit to get it set up (watch the video and search online for the other questions you will have), it works pretty well and you can create a sharp edge with the included wet stones.

The first time I used this set I used it on the edge of my desk. It had a rounded top edge and it was not steady. I only did one knife and was impressed with the results. The second time I used it was on a table with a 3/4 inch square edge; much more stable and the results were much better. It took a few tries to get used to changing the stones but by the second knife it was like I had been doing it forever! I did all four of the knives we use daily and was more than satisfied. Could not be happier with the results!

Quite a creative approach to sharpening. I sharpen much more than standard kitchen knives, so I found the versatility of angle adjustment very advantageous. As a test of both the device and me I chose a "wall hanger" that was gifted to me by my father. It is a northern European designed hunting/fishing knife, so the angles are NOTHING like a kitchen knife. This knife was extremely well worn with rolls, chips, just plain YEARS of wear and tear. Did Wasabi restore the condition to new . . . no. Did it make this old knife useable again? ABSOLUTELY! I also tested one of my EDC folding knives that was also well worn. Although I had semi-retired this particular EDC knife due to wear, I'm proud to say it is back in regular rotation. Just like everything in life you want to ... MoreQuite a creative approach to sharpening.

Made of high quality materials. Love the flipping action of the knife holder. Clamp for the base holds it securely to the counter top. The directions are a bit confusing but after 2 or 3 reads you will understand how it all works. I am very pleased with how easy it is to get a very sharp edge. I was even able to use it on small pocket knives with 1.5 inch blades.. I was amazed at how quickly the stones removed metal from the knife edge. Just a few passes and on to the next grit. The printing on the face of the stone showing the grit number will disappear with use so remember to mark the grit on the back of the stone holder. There is no list of common desired angles for different knives included in the directions. You need to do a little extra research to learn what ... MoreMade of high quality materials.

The device was easily assembled and easy to operate, so high marks there. I did have trouble following the instructions for setting up a sharpening angle, and I'm still not sure I have it right since the author of the instruction booklet changes terminology as the instructions progress. To compound the problem I can find nothing in the booklet that tells me what sharpening angle to use. Two suggestions: 1) improve the instruction manual; and 2) don't send inferior whetstones. I was dismayed that the 320 grit whetstone that came with the device disintegrated after about 20 strokes. The grit came off the plastic backing. Before using it, I wet it as instructed. The other three whetstones are fine. I am sending you a picture by e-mail of what's left of the 320 grit ... MoreThe device was easily assembled and easy to operate, so high marks there.

I was able to quickly set this unit up for sharpening larger carving/prep knives. Be sure to have as much blade exposed as possible while still ensuring a firm grip on the blade. If you set the knife too far into the clamp, you will not be able to touch the blade with the stones. I have a digital angle gage for setting up my table saw that I used to set the blade angle. I sharpened a U.S. made knife to the Japanese knife angle of 15º. It took a while with the course stone to get it to that angle but the final result was an edge that has lasted longer and cuts finer.My one suggestion for improvement would be to make the ball joint out of Delrin (TM) to make lubrication unnecessary and improve the smoothness of operation.
