Summary: This rocks - especially for the price (i'd pay double)
Comment: I highly recommend this sharpener! I checked around (a lot) and after reading many reviews I gave it a try. Wow! Super easy, fast and really sharp knives!! Honestly, I can't believe it is so affordable and does this good of a job. This thing goes to town grinding so I don't think I'd want to do it all the time. I have expensive J.A. Henckels knives and they are like new again! Follow the directions exactly because it doesn't take much to really grind these things. I did manage to take out a bit of the beginning of my blade (closest to handle) on one of my knives but this was user error. Just do what the instructions say and you'll be fine. If you have a few older knives that you don't care about as much, I would practice on them first.
I will never have dull knives again and slicing tomatoes is a whole new experience - amazing!
I am really picky and research everything before buying so if I'm pleased you can feel confident in ordering this.

Summary: wish I bought this earlier
Comment: This knife sharpener works really good, especially for the money. I've bought a hand held knife sharpener from Chefmate a number of years ago -- worthless. I also tried buying a sharpening stone, couldn't get a good edge on any of my knives that way. I've also tried a two stage manual knife sharpener used with filet knives, with sharpening rods, not very good for my kitchen knives.
Nothing has worked for me, except for this Presto. It's easy to use. The only downside is that the stones rotate in one direction. When the sharpener faces you as I draw the knife through the left slots of each of the two stages, it catches a little, even with light pressure. That's why its not a five star from me. On the right slots of each of the two stages, I haven't noticed it catching. After sharpening, if I look closely, it looks like micro serrations.
