iSi Vulkanus Countertop Knife Sharpener, Stainless Steel



Greatest little knife sharpener ever!!!
This sharpener is fantastic. IF you use it as directed, it will give your knives a perfectly sharp edge. Be prepared that it does take some metal off your knife, but we have found nothing that does the job better than this little tool. For best results, use a steel right after and in between sharpenings. The only drawback is that I have not found a way to order replacement blades for it, which the directions state you can do. As far as keeping your knives razor sharp, this is the item to have. They also make a great gift for anyone that cares about their knives.

Best, easiest sharpener I've had - Going on 5 years
I bought a Vulkanus knife sharpener (black plastic) out of curiosity about 5 years ago from a knife website. I have never had anything do a better, easier job of sharpening knifes. It's a little awkward holding onto the sharpener while moving the blade, but it does such a beautiful job, I don't worry about it.

I've tried about a half dozen other types and gave them away, including the motorized type (which heated the blade and also shortened the life of my knives by grinding off too much of the steel, even using low pressure).

Anyway, I don't usually write reviews, but this is one company I'd like to see stay in business. This sharpener is a smart piece of German engineering.

SIMPLE, but...
This works well; I think my 4star is a result of my own lack of knowledge on how to properly pull my knives thru smoothly.
