Professional Grade VG2 Knife Sharpener for Sharpening Both Serrated and Non-Serrated Knives | Effortless and Precise Knife Sharpening | Brod & Taylor

Came fast and as described

Very easy to use and versatile sharpener. Well built and instructions printed on botton is a nice touch!

Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. Works well too.

Easy to use and now all my knives are super sharp. Absolutely the best knife sharpener I've ever owned and no more guessing or getting the angle wrong. I'm gifting them to other friends.

I am seriously impressed with the ease of use and super sharp blade I am able to get in a very short time! Other motorized sharpeners are not even close!

Started using the sharpener as soon as it arrived. So far this is the best sharpener I have owned. Has brought back knives that I had stopped using. I also own a tungston knife that now is as sharp as when I bought it. Would definitely recommend this sharpener.

The Classic VG2 knife sharpener is well designed and seems as though it will last a long time. The scissor-action is an ingenious way of keeping the cut angle properly aligned and even on both sides. One factor you need to pay attention to is make sure the knife is centered in the slot as much as possible when drawing it through the cutters, or the angles will not be fully symmetrical. It takes a little usage to get the feel of the sharpener and how much pressure to push down on the scissor action while drawing the knife through it depending on the angle of the cutting edge of the knife. I have a Santoku knife that needs an 11° edge and a light pressure, a chef's knife that needs a 15° edge and medium pressure, and others that need closer to a 20° edge and a heavy pressure. The ability to sharpen serrated knives, and be able to hone and polish the edges without removing any metal is a plus. The polishing procedure may be a bit tough for those with weak or arthritic fingers, but isn't completely required to get a sharp edge. I have small to large kitchen knives along with smaller pocket knives, and the Brod %26 Taylor VG2 sharpens them all. I keep my sharpener next to the knife block for a quick hone before using any knives. I recommend this sharpening tool.

I bought this for friend (Christmas gift ). He really likes it. easy to use.

I used an earlier version of the sharpener for years with good success. However, my knives were becoming more dull, and I realize that my sharpener had worn out so I purchased this new model with superior tungsten sharpening blades. I have drawn my knives through this new device multiple times to a little effect. My question is how many drawers do I need to make in order to make these knives sharp. I am disappointed because I expected quicker results.

Not really happy with item. As another reviewer noted, it doesn't seem to sharpen. My knife steel works so much better. I would recommend buying another type of sharpener.
