Title: Disappointed After Reading the Cook's Illustrated Review
Product review: I bought this product after reading the Nov 2006 Cook's illustrated Review of manual sharpeners. I was looking for an affordable option to sharpen very dull knives, as electric sharpeners are not in the budget right now. Perhaps it is because my knives were very dull, but the sharpener did not return my knives to the desirable sharpened state, even after about 5 minutes of passing the sharpener over the knife. In fact, the sharpener left grooves in my blade! Now I will have to buy an electric sharpener or find someone who can professionally grind my knives into the proper sharpness. That being said, the knives are a little sharper than when they started, but I have returned the device and asked for my money back.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
