"Every person should have one of these"
My husband saw this on television and wanted to try it. He was a mid-level restaurant chef in his younger years and definitely knows his knives and HATES a dull knife. HE LOVES THIS PRODUCT. He loves it so much that he took it to work (the White House) to show the chefs there and suggest that they get them. He also gave his first one to his best friend who is the head chef at a high end French restaurant who also loves it and for some reason had never seen it before. Its sharpening ability equals or betters the intricate and difficult "professional" sharpening tools and its safe and easy for the least knowledgeable of chefs. I've used ours to sharpen scissors as well and it worked perfectly. I recommend this to anyone who is sick of dull knives and even more sick of trying to sharpen them with all the complicated tools out there or who doesn't want to pay someone to sharpen their knives for them. This works wonderfully. We plan to buy several more and give them as gifts to people we know who like to cook or hunt.

"Works well, easy to use"
Easy to use, does a good job. Would give it 5 stars if it did serrated knives.

"Excelente afilador para mis cuchillos"
Una herramienta que no debe faltar en la cocina. No requiere la destreza que sí exigen otras, como la chaira, y los cuchillos quedan tan bien como si hubiesen sido afilados por un experto afilador. Lo he recomendado a mis amigos y todos ya cuentan con uno en sus casas.

"Knife Sharpener, works great!"
This sharpener works very well. It does what is says it does. You can't mess up the knife. The knife gets super sharp and I am happy. I have one complaint though. When I was opening the shell, the plastic guard (case) broke off, so I have to place it over my hand to protect it from a slip. This sharpener won't work forever, as it the "sand" will eventually wear away. I have had it for about two years and it still has some life left into it. It is worth it to keep my rachael ray knifes sharp-which are nice as well.

"AWESOME!"
I needed a sharpener for my kitchen knives which had grown very dull over the years. Since they didn't have any nicks or chips in the blades, I decided to try this sharpener. It sure looked easier than using a stone! It took several passes before my knives were sharp enough to cut a tomato instead of squishing it, but I wasn't surprised. They haven't been sharpened for years! I didn't count the passes through the fingers, but I was able to sharpen 4 knives in under 5 minutes. They all work like new! I'm glad that I took the gamble and decided to try the Ozitech Sharpener. Regarding complaints on the plastic guards breaking, I just took my time and gently followed the instructions. I didn't have any problems at all. As long as it is treated respectfully, I expect that it will last for a good, long time! I'd recommend this sharpener to anyone who wants nice, sharp knives in their kitchen!
