Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of The Ultimate Edge Model 10W Gourmet 10-Inch Oval Diamond Sharpening SteelCustomer Review: The Ultimate Edge Sharpener Summary: 5 Stars
This simply a wonderful tool for sharpening knives. The 600 grit duplicates a Soft Arkansas stone results. I can tell this by examining the sharpened edge with a 10X power watchmakers loupe. The secret to achieving the good results is LIGHT STROKES and consistent angle. Think of using the weight of the blade and just enough pressure to make contact with the steel.....let the diamond particles do the work. Cleaning is a snap with a damp dish rag and dry off immediately. Don't soak or put in dishwasher as the body is hollow and made of steel(nickel plated) which has has lasted in perfect condition for past 2o years. Be sure to use LIGHT strokes and avoid the common tendency to bare down on the sharpener surface.
Finally, this tool should be thought of as a sharpening stone because it removes material from the blade. It is not for everyday use or you will grind your kitchen knives up in short order. Once the blade is sharpened, the user should shift over to using a good quality steel that realigns the edge for best results. Most of the time I use the steel, but when I need to bring the edge up, the Ultimate Edge sharpener takes the place of a Soft Arkansas stone and oil. Really saves time and mess. I also use it on my pocket knife when ever it needs sharpening and if just the tip needs to be sharpened, it works just like a good oil stone, but without the mess. This a very good quality product that has consistently produces great results over the years.
They also produce a narrow versions as well as 5 inch versions. They marked "10N" and "5N" and work just fine. Personally I use the "5W" for the kitchen most of the time, but the "10W" is better for sharpening the longer blades.
