Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof Precision Edge 4 Stage Knife Sharpener
Customer Review: Great Product For The Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an Anolon knife block set which I have never been all that impressed with. While they have a great grip and weight, they were never all that sharp. In fact, from the time I brought the set home, the Santoku was considerably less sharp than the others. An older model Chef's Choice electric sharpener I bought a long time ago helped some, but not near enough.
After reading a million reviews and not wanting to mortgage the house to buy a knife sharpener, I finally settled on this Wusthof manual sharpener and can not be more pleased. Just 8-10 draws through the course side and 4-5 draws through the fine side put a really sharp edge on all the knives. Since all the knives had dulled considerably, It is likely that they will not need so many draws in the future. All the knives easily sliced through paper and, with no effort, I sliced a clove of garlic literally paper thin... something I had never been able to do before.
The Asian side also did an extremely good job on the Santoku, which is much sharper now than it was when I bought it. Hopefully the knives will keep their edge for a while.
Additionally I always had to have my husband sharpen the knives with the old Chef's Choice as I could never get the angle right. This one requires you to hold the blade straight up and down, which makes it very easy.
By the way the specialty kitchen stores (at least in my area) have this knife sharpener priced at about $50.
Description of Wusthof Precision Edge 4 Stage Knife Sharpener
Sharpen both your Standard knives and your Asian style knives with the Wusthof 4 stage knife sharpener. The standard sharpener uses carbide blades set at 28 degrees or 14 degrees per side to sharpener your standard kitchen knives. Stage 2 of the standard side uses ceramic rods to hone a fine edge on your blade. Simply slide the cover over to Asian knives to sharpen your Asian knives to a 20 degree angle or 10 degrees per side. The V-shaped cutting head with two crossed carbide blades puts a quick edge on knives. Stage 2 uses ceramic rods to hone the fine edge of your Santoku or Nakiri 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 four-stage knife sharpener measures 9 by 3 by 1-1/2-inches.Knife Sharpeners
