VERY NICE
By KRASSEL
This is a very nice unit. Compact, yet fairly heavy and very stable while in use. It is primarily meant for use with the Shun knives, but will sharpen any knife, while changing the blade angle to 16 degrees. You cannot use it to sharpen serrated edge knives. It pops apart for cleaning and is fairly easy to use.It will take a little practice to get the "stroke" down pat. You don't want any down pressure and a steady,staight pull thru the machine. I find that two passes usually do the trick.This machine will not restore your knife to that factory edge that Shun is famous for. This machine is meant to get you close. You must hone the knife to get that finished edge. I use a water stone to finish with, but there are other methods.This sharpener is not meant to replace using the steel either. I steel my blades each time I use them. I only resort to the sharpener when the steel will not restore the edge. Sharpening too often is as bad as not often enough.I find this machine is very good at restoring the factory angle and getting the knife very close to sharp. I don't mind the extra few minutes it takes to put that "razor" edge on with a stone. I think it is well worth the price and recommend it.

By Doc p30
I've had a set of Shun knives for 3 years now and hadn't had them sharpened. You are supposed to have them sharpened once a year. Shun used to provide sharpening service for free if you mailed your knives too them, but they have discontinued this service. I found this out just as I was getting sick of my knives been dull. The electric sharpener worked well, it took two passes on my 9" chef knife to get it perfectly sharp, it was 90% of the way there after one pass. The sharpener is very loud, but I guess that is to be expected. The unit is fairly compact, which is good since I don't plan on using it more often than once a year. Overall I would say it is a good investment especially since you can't get the knives sharpened for free anymore.

Excellent
By Alex P.
Compact but heavy enough to be stable when in use. It's design specifically for Shun knives.It will give the blade 16 degree angle which is unique for Shun.Most of my knives are Shun so it's great for me. Occasionally I use it also for knives of other manufacturers.The sharpener will give any blade 16 degree angle but quality blades of other brands able to handle it.
