Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener
Customer Review: Pretty decent but use as intended
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this sharpener about two years ago. I cook every day, and, while not a professional chef, I am an avid cook. I have the following sets of knives:
Henckels Pro S Series (German Ice Hardened Steel) - 3 years
Henckels International (Spanish Carbon Steel) - 10 years
Oxford Hall Stainless (Japanese High Carbon Steel) Chef's Knife - >40 years
These knives have seen a lot of use. The Oxford Hall is practically an heirloom. In any case, I used the standard sharpening steel for years, which did little to get the knives sharper - just re-orient the edge it seems. I bought this after reading reviews and was pleased with the results. A couple of things:
1) Hardened knives need more pulls than 5 to get them to sharpness. I use "1" until I hear and feel no more drag on the blade. I then repeat with "2." This may take 10-25 pulls the first time, but I only have to do this once a week with hardened steel blades cooking every day, and it takes 3-5 pulls now.
2) Check your knives first. Do not use this if your knives have chips in it; it will only make it worse. At that point, either send it to the manufacturer or a knife sharpening service or get a whetstone. You have to grind it down and re-hone the blade. This is not the use for this or any other sharpener.
3) It would be difficult to get the knives to factory honed sharpness (many use lasers to get the edge that sharp - just as a reference). It would take a Master Knife Sharpener to do this, or many passes on different whetstones of varying grit, so $19 to get a useful edge back on your knife is pretty good...
4) If you want your edges to last, cut on wood rather than plastic, ceramic, or glass (shudder).
5) See #2!!!!! If you have a Japanese Santoku or other japanese manufactured knife, read about it carefully. Many are not honed to the same angle as european knives. Also some japanese knives have two angles on the edge making it right or left handed and not both. You will need to get a "japanese sharpener" or send it back to the manufacturer for sharpening.
Cheers!
Description of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener
Stylish stainless steel. Hard sharpen is easy and efficient to use. 2 module positions will restore even the dullest knife edge. Full instructions included in box.Henckels Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won't skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.
