Its a basic sharpener but with a large enough hole to sharpen the larger pencil type lipliners.

It's like cutting on glass or marble, almost.  Also has an unpleasant fingernails-on-chalkboard texture under my knife.

I did not bring my professional knife kit into the kitchen to see the edges knocked askew by a woodlike cutting board;  I had to fully re-edge a nearly new Wusthof chef knife because it was beyond the point where steeling would correct the edge, after a few months on this.

This is one awesome sharpener! Follow the directions and your knives will be razors! Sharpened my aunts kitchen knives, which were so dull they were practically butter knives, forgot I sharpened them, and promptly cut myself. Bad. So believe me, this little guy does a great job!!

Suggestion: put medium pressure 6-10 times on sharpening side, then lighter pressure 10-15 times on polishing side. Knife will be sharp enough to do surgery!!

Did you buy the fantastic Work Sharp Knife Sharpener? I know it comes with extra belts which ARE very long lasting, but pick up this pack so you always have a set of fresh belts for when you run across a really dull knife.

I used to break all of my color pencils while sharpening, but no longer! This was honestly the best thing ever! The plate slides out and hold the pencil in place so you don't have to worry about bending it accidentally while sharpening and it comes with a clamp so that you can secure it the table and make sure it won't slide anywhere. I followed through and sharpened all of my pencils after the first one! It was like experiencing a sugar high! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product and will recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Smart little sharpener that works really well! My knives and scissors are razor sharp after a quick sharpening. Easy and comfortable to hold in place while using.

This knife sharpener is easy to use after you get the hang of it.  The directions are not detailed enough for a novice like me to read, especially since I have a slight phobia about following directions correctly!  I'm glad I bought the best knife sharpener I could afford.  Highly recommended for beginners as well as accomplished cooks.  We eat a lot of fresh veggies and salads, and I got tired of dull knives cutting me.  Glad I bought this!

I bought this knife sharpener to compare to my AnySharp, another reasonably priced sharpener that I've used for a few years.  The AnySharp is beginning to show some wear and tear so I was eager to try both out on some dull Chicago Cutlery knives we have.  The AnySharp comes mounted on a small circular base that has a mechanism to make it adhere to your counter top--of course there is also a release lever so that you can free it up and move it to wherever is convenient. There is no need to hold onto it while sharpening a knife, thus "no worries" about cutting your free hand.  The Priority Chef has a much longer base with a rubber backing.  It has a handle that allows you to hold it pressed to the counter during use, again placing your hand out of harm's way.

Both sharpeners function the same way, although the Priority Chef requires a two-step process and a bit more pressure.  On the AnySharp you simply draw the blade of the knife through the guide until you see metal shavings and determine that you have the edge on it you want.  The Priority Chef starts out the same way but then has a second finishing stroke to hone and finish the edge. In both cases you should thoroughly wipe off the blades to remove any stubborn metal particles.  Heavy metals are not good for your digestive system.

Virtually identical results were obtained from both sharpeners, although it took a little more time and effort with the Priority Chef. Part of that could be my familiarity with the AnySharp since I have been using it so long.  Another nice feature inlcuded with the Priority Chef package is a free e-book that shows you how to replace unhealthy snacks with better choices, several knife safety tips, and 30 quick recipes that you can prepare and cook in under 30 minutes.  Not a bad package deal for the price!

Oh my days. I am absolutely in LOVE with this knife sharpener! I've tried sharpening stones but they take a lot of time and effort to do properly and I have a busy lifestyle and like my cooking to be easy, swift, efficient and beautiful, just like my knives.... and now just like my knife sharpener!!! :)

I love the handle, it's perfect to give you grip and stability while sharpening, and if you want pin point precision every time then this is the knife sharpener for you. Forget the rest. Everything is satisfying about it, from the weight to the sound, to the action itself when you're sharpening, and that is what you want from a good knife sharpener, a good sense of feedback. You will not be disappointed with this sharpener, especially if you love and care about your tools. Go ahead and treat yourself and give your culinary experience the sharp edge it deserves!!! :) :) :)

Oh My Goodness this product is a LIFE SAVER! The Salad Cutter Bowl by SHiCHENG saves your fingers (definitely) and time too. One just throws all they want in their salad into the bowl, place the bowl onto the pedestal and use a chef knife (not a steak knife) to cut your salad. Once you have sliced through each slot once, turn the bowl 90 degrees and repeat the slicing once again to make sure the salad is chopped nicely. This product can be used for fruit too. The Salad Cutter Bowl is easy to clean and is dishwasher safe. I am truly impressed with this product! :-)

Sliced my thumb before I sliced the watermelon! Edges are too sharp on the side where you grip it.

LOOKS LIKE I STRUCK GOLD!  CANNOT WAIT TO GIVE THIS TO MY SON, THE CHEF.  HE HAS TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE KNIFES AND THIS IS JUST WHAT HE NEEDS TO KEEP THEM RAZOR SHARP!  I REC'D THIS AT A DISCOUNT IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW

In my opinion, this works so much better than those rotary sharpeners. I could not get the hang of one of those. Every time I tried to turn the lead to sharpen it, they lead would break. But with the uni sharpener, you simply insert the lead and twist the pencil. So simple. This can make a really, really sharp point. I found that I have to be careful or this thing will eat your lead fast. You only need a couple twists and that's it! Convenient, great size, keeps the shavings away from your drawing unlike using the cap of your 2mm pencil. I'm glad I found this product and highly recommend.

Excellent knife Sharpener!  Simple, light weight and doesn't take up much room in the kitchen drawer or sitting next to the butcher block! Simple, easy to use. Made my cooking prep time a time saver! Already received a compliment on the style and ease of use. On my list for upcoming Christmas gifts!

This little device transformed the way I sharpen knives. After sharpening for many months on whet stones and only reaching decent but not excellent results, I saw a knife sharpening instructional video by chef Mino Tsuchida who recommended using a guide - at least until you learn how to keep a steady angle. I immediately ordered these guides, and boy have they helped me! Using this device allows me to reach a level of sharpness I have not been able to achieve prior to this, keeping a perfectly consistent angle along the entire blade. Consistency is at least as important, if not more important, than the angle. This allows me to sharpen my knife (8.5" chef's) sharp enough to shave hair off my arm at ease.

I suspect that those who are giving this guide low ratings don't really know how to use it. The key is not to place it snug along the spine of the knife, but, rather, place it such that it's perpendicular to the blade, somewhat protruding outwards off the spine. This little distinction is critical. I learned this from chef Tsuchida, in a clip called "Knife Sharpening With Mino Tsuchida". You might want to watch it, as it will provide you with a wealth of information in a clear and concise manner.

This knife was an essential addition with my Global chef knife!
