Title: Not as good as hoped
Product review: I have had this sharpener for a little over a year. I was hoping that I would get better at using it or that it would "break in" so to speak, because I could never get the great edge I wanted with this. I hate sitting around sharpening my knives on a stone or using leather just to get the cheap kitchen knives sharp again, so I thought this would be faster.Perhaps the grinding wheels on my machine are not matched up to the right angle or something but my knives never get that sharp no matter how careful I am.The basic premise of this type of sharpener is that you use slot 1 to get a good coarse sharpness and then you move over to side 2 to really touch it up. When I use side 1, I get a pretty decent "file type" edge on the blade but then when I move it to side 2 it seems to clean up the edge a bit but also leaves it duller than side 1.I'm going to order the accusharp hand sharpener and see if it works better. It's alot cheaper.
