Title: Overhyped
Product review: I think you will find this item an overhyped item. It is incredible that 203 reviewers average 4.5 stars on this item. It works but the end result is not a blade that is super sharp. I have worked in the restaurant business for the last twenty years of my life. I have not tested the results of this on a serrated knife. However, the angle at which it sharpens at is not the sharpest that it will leave a blade and I find myself sharpening as I have always done with a sharpening rod or a sharpening stone. That said, I believe that if you are skilled at either of the above then I would not recommend purchasing this item - however, if you are not, then this item should work. I don't find that it works that well on my molybedenum/vanadium knives, and a little better on the pure steel knives (most people don't have them because they rust a little easier). That is my thoguht.
