Miyabi 2-stage Diamond/Ceramic Handheld Knife Sharpener

I bought this sharpener with little belief that it would actually work. I was totally wrong. It works great! My knife had become very dull after many hours of use daily for month with no sharpening. It was wrong not to sharpen or at the least refresh the edge each day since I use the knife so much (like 2 hours a day!). I was pretty sure I would need to start from scratch on the blade and this sharpener get the basic angle back and then the finishing put the fine sharpening on well. Now I run it through the 2nd step after each day and I am good to go! Great product. Fast shipping! PS - remember that this sharpener is for Asian angled knives, not an American blade so be sure you are using the correct angled sharpener for your knife! This sharpener actually matches my knife.

This is a must have for Miyabi knife owners/chefs that own miyabi knives in my opinion. The best way to sharpen a miyabi for beginners and people in a rush. Have used mine for quite a few years and still sharpens my knives extremely well.

Being new to a japanese knife, i did not want to learn how to sharpen. I also did not want to buy another sharpening rod. This was so highly rated by many I gave it a shot. I mostly using the honing wheel and have no issues. .The knife is plenty sharp already.

Easy to use, all of the technique you need to sharpen your knife is built in. Very happy with the blade profile and sharpness.

This sharpener has worked well for me. Just follow the instructions included with the sharpener and it should work fine for you as well. My Miyagi knife has kept an edge and works as well as it did when I first purchased it. No problems with the product at all to date.

Lasted for 1 1/2 years, the fine grit side, ceramic, split in half. Cannnot hone.

I ran my Miyabi and other Asian knives through this sharpener 5 times and they are as sharp as a barber's razor now, Excellent piece of kitchenware equipment. Thumbs up!

Pro: Sharpens thin blade precision Japanese knives at correct degree Cons: Weak construction, very light, doesn't feel well made. My fine wheel kept popping out of it's plastic yolke - on the inside of unit. Chipped one of my good knives as one wheel was out of alignment when it arrived and blade inserted on metal top of sharpening wheel. This did somehow correct after I put a sturdier cheap knife in for a few spins. In my opinion it's a $8 sharpener with a $50 price tag. Unfortunately it's impossible to find another fast system to polish up your fine edges. Luckily most quality Japanese knives don't require frequent sharpening. I wish someone made a fast affordable touch up option. I loathe using the stones.

As expected, works well on the brand matching knives. Easy to keep them very sharp with minimal effort.
