Absolutely pleased with this steel. Many others on the market much dearer than this. However it does not disappoint and gives a great edge to knives.

Good value and great quality

This is a really good tool to have a to sharpen your kitchen knives

effective cutting edge restorer, hones a cutting edge to original sharpness

A little time practicing the easy to master technique and you need never put up with blunt kitchen knives again. Very effective with great results in around 10 to 20 seconds of use. Durable and great value.

I was surprised to find that the base metal appears to be aluminium, rather than steel. So it remains to be seen how long such a relatively softer metal will retain the diamond grit. I may be wrong, but I have a certain sense of foreboding...

So good so far, all kitchen knives sharpened quickly. The base of the sharpener should be soft rubber, not hard, as it slips at angle when using on worktop to sharpen knives. Always wash an clean sharpener after r use.

It’s good but I’ve had it less than a week and the rough sharpening area is already wearing off.
