ARCCI Diamond Knife Sharpener Portable Retractable Sharpening Steel Multifunction Sharpening Rod for Outdoor Activity

Bin your steels , this works really well , I love a sharp knife ! And spend ages getting them sharp , if you use this ( lightly ) its instant gratification , its very course and can remove a lot of material very quickly , go steady and you can hear and feel it working , I love this tool

If you don't have time for a whet stone sharpen, this is very good. It is excellent at reaching the grooves in a serrated blade. On a straight blade, you can "feel" the friction, so you know the blade is getting sharpened.

Good sharpening blade. Build quality not great - had to glue the top ring back on. Also very slippy base, nit to be held on a tea towel or so.ethibg similar, it slips on the kitchen counter or if placed on a chopping board. Easy enough to fix and use appropriately. Good value for money relative to many other buying options.

Mine is at least 400-grit and you'll need that if not more. Have had mine for ages. I love how t reverses to slot back inside its handle and screw-secure. There's a handy groove for sharpening darts or similar. This is a very good tool, but keep the diamond taper lightly oiled to guard against rust.

It works well enough, but I don't know how long it will last. It puts a good edge on my japanese kitchen knives

A chief at cooking school recommended this to me and then showed me how to sharpen my knife. It works. I must admit it might not have done had the chief not shown me how to use it properly but it was easy to learn with and really makes my knife sharp. If I can use it, then most people would be able to. Just be careful not to drop it. Apparently these steels shatter if dropped.

Best sharpener in the market. I use to use it in big professional industrial kitchen, have been looking for same one. Glad I found it. Just learn how to use and it changes your work in the kitchen.

Arrived on time and in good condition. I used it on a couple of different edges and it really surprised me with what I got from it. I used it on a machete, a large kitch knife, smaller kitch knifes and two different axes. I believe it can quickly give you a good edge on a lot of different blade edges. It has certainly given me a restart on blades that I have had problems with before. Found something smaller to go camping with! Good Kit.

Nach kurzem Gebrauch Diamantbelag weg. Schärft nicht mehr.

4 gentle swipes & WOW! I could loose a finger. Amazing sharpener. Bought another for my son - adult son. Nothing more dangerous than a blunt knife. This sharpener is a must have

I went back and forth on whether I should get a sharpening steel or a knife sharpener. I decided on this because I like sharpening my knives in a way that I can see. This rod has a really fine grit that you can feel when you touch it and the only way to describe it is like a super-fine emery board. You could file your nails on this thing - but don't do that. As for sharpening? Works like a charm. Right now, I have a cheap Farberware set that I bought from Target, and it doesn't take long for a set like that to go dull, but this sharpener just woke them right up and now I'm slicing through tomatoes like it's no big deal. This is a solid purchase. Recommend.

Prima di entrare nel merito del prodotto mi pare necessario spendere una parola sulla serietà del venditore che, dopo che gli ho fatto rilevare un difetto nel primo affilatore spedito, ha proceduto immediatamente ad inviarmene un altro, senza alcun problema e neppure richiesta di reso del precedente (la cui confezione avevo rotto per aprirla e che avevo anche utilizzato per provarlo, rendendomi conto del difetto). Ho comprato l'affilatore in questione perché già ne possiedo uno "simile"(vale a dire con abrasivo a base di polvere di diamante). Quello in mio possesso mi è stato regalato tempo addietro da un amico. Soddisfatto del suo funzionamento e sapendo che quello regalato aveva un costo notevole, ho deciso di approfittare del prezzo veramente molto basso di quello ARCCI. Bene, complice anche il difetto del primo esemplare arrivato, ho compreso il motivo del costo abbordabile. Il modello ARCCI non ha l'abrasivo al diamante "integrato" alla barra di metallo ma - più economicamente - si tratta di un film adesivo che copre la barra. Di questo mi sono reso conto in quanto il primo prodotto aveva il film "rotto" da cui si intravvedeva il ferro sottostante. Detto questo, l'affilatore svolge la sua funzione e risulta in grado di ravvivare il filo dei coltelli da cucina ma è chiaro che la sua durata sarà limitata perché, passando e ripassando i coltelli, la pellicola si consumerà ed alla fine si romperà. In definitiva il prezzo pagato è in linea con la qualità ordinaria dell'affilatore.

Bought it to sharpen a knife and keep it sharp during a trip. Though it probably works great can never keep my knife super sharp. Still kept my knife sharper than not using anything or using the v shapped sharpeners so worth it
