Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof 2-Stage Knife Sharpener

Customer Review: Sharpens really well, but I've got a few concerns
Summary: 4 Stars

This device sharpens knives and scissors. It is suitable for both left- and right-handed users. It is well made and convenient to use. It has nice little non-slip pads.

The slot closer to the handle is for very coarse sharpening. It has two sharp carbide blades. It really takes the metal off. After a couple of minutes on an old dull knife there are little chips on the table top. (In machinist jargon, a "chips" are little pieces of curly metal that have been removed by a cutting tool.) This is really great for old dull knives that haven't been sharpened in years. But I wouldn't use it on a $100 Henckels or Wusthof knife. This could ruin it real fast.

The outer slot has two small ceramic rods, about the diameter of matchsticks. These are set at a steeper angle then the carbide blades in the other slot. It was brand new and right out of the box, and worked very well. But after a while those little ceramic rods got thoroughly coated with metal. Note: I was doing this on very cheap knives at a friend's house. Presumably these cheap knives were made of quite soft metal. Perhaps the rods would not have gotten quite so coated had I been sharpening high-quality knives.

My main concern, and why I only gave it 4 stars, is because I'm concerned that after a while it will sharpen more slowly because of all the metal coating the rods. And there appears to be no way to remove and clean the rods.

Description of Wusthof 2-Stage Knife Sharpener

Safe and easy to use, this two-stage knife sharpener requires nothing but a few easy strokes to keep blades sharp. Its V-shaped cutting head with two crossed carbide blades puts a quick edge on knives. Simply place the gadget on a flat work surface and hold the E-Z grip handle with one hand and the knife handle with the other. Insert the knife blade fully into the slot at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener and pull down and back three or four times to sharpen. After setting the knife's edge with the carbide side, use the unit's ceramic side to nicely finish the edge. The gadget also comes equipped with a built-in scissors sharpener. To use, stand the sharpener on end with the non-skid rubber pad on the work surface and repeat the same process as if sharpening a knife. A "floating" round sharpening rod conforms to the exact angle of right- or left-handed scissors, sharpening both blades at the same time. The two-stage knife-and-scissor sharpener measures 8 by 3 by 1-1/2 inches.
