Good, but not for use with high-end knives

Date:April 29, 2011

"I've owned this for about 4-5 years, I think.

It has served me quite well and contrary to a few other reviewers, I feel the build quality is good and it feels quite solid.

I would agree that the adjustment dials are too small and quite a pain to use, but since I've owned it I don't think I've used them more than 5-6 times. Although perhaps if they were easier to use, I might have used them more.

The key thing to note about this product, other than it works quite well, is that it really strips a lot of metal off your knife. This is exactly why a previous reviewer indicated that this sharpener is fine for your less expensive knives.

If you have knives worth over $100 DO NOT ruin them with this product. Knives of high quality need to be gently sharpened with a stone. Never use anything that remove strips of metal on your quality knives.

I myself don't own anything of very high quality so I don't mind stripping away with this sharpener.

In summary, if you're buying your knives from Canadian Tire, then this is the product to sharpen them."

Works great...but didn't last

Date:September 5, 2010

"This is a terrific tool for keeping your kitchen knives their sharpest. It functions on the same principle as the stay-sharp knives that are sharpened each time they are slid into their case. If you like razor-sharp kitchen knives, this is the tool for you. Unfortunately, mine fell apart after about 6-months of use. I am probably going to buy another, but if that one also falls apart I will look for something else."

Recommended for sharpening knifes, etc.

Date:January 25, 2010

"This product is very good at restoring dull knifes, scissors, etc. back to their original sharpness.

If a can opener is a necessary item in any household, then the Samurai Shark Knife Sharpener is an essential tool for the kitchen or tool room."

An interesting tool.

Date:August 14, 2009

"This was purchased mainly for the purpose of sharpening/honing gardening tools: i.e. pruners etc. Tools with a single edge such as pruners don't really open up wide enough to use the "delta" blade properly, it would have helped if there was a little less plastic around the edge of this product.

The idea of this sharpener is quite sound but over generalized in many cases. For your average $20 kitchen knives I wouldn't hesitate to use this to bring back an edge, but for those with more expensive knives, the angle used to re-profile may not be akin to that found on your own blade. The V shaped blade doesn't seem to have an adjustable angle, but does have an adjustable width for tools with a thicker blade.

It's no substitute for a proper stone + oil sharpening block, but it is okay for your "rougher" more aggressively used edged products. May require extra patience when using for gardening tools.

It's build leaves something to be desired, but when considering the price to performance ratio, it's really not bad. However in absolute terms, there's too much plastic, and the knobs you need to turn are a bit small.

For those of you who are wondering whether this is really a sharpener, and not an edge honer, the manual inside says it does take off a thin film of the edge, so with that description it does qualify as a proper sharpener, but its method of sharpening reflects that of a honer.

Overall = OKAY, for your cheaper tools."

Works great. a must have

Date:July 25, 2009

"I bought this to sharpen some kitchen knives that have gone dull and it works. It works well. I also brought my old Swiss Army Knife back to life with it.

Also worked well sharpening scissors.

I've had it for about 2yrs."

Question:

Samurai shatk knife sharpener

Answer:

There are two ends to this sharpener. The "Delta blade" which is the singular one that slides out like an Exacto knife is used for sharpening single edged tools like a pruner or a pair of scissors. The "V-shaped" blades are used for sharpening tools with an edge on both sides, such as most knives. The V-shaped end has adjustable width, but no adjustable angle. So sliding that middle piece around is purely to accommodate thicker blades.

For single edged bladed tools, bring either side of the delta blade flush against the angle of the blade and slide along while applying pressure downwards onto the blade angle. Repeat a few times. Maybe several if your blade is very blunt.

For tools with an edge on both sides, bring the edge to meet with the bottom of the V-shaped slot and pull through a few times.
