The stand works as a storage case and tucks neatly in a drawer. (I love the wooden stand/case. It's such a clever design.) The sharpener only takes a minute to set up. You can sharpen everything from long carving knives to meat cleavers to your smallest paring knife. The stand holds the ceramic sharpeners at the correct angle. You don’t have to guess. If you use the fine ceramic rods frequently, your knives will be extremely sharp. The price point is excellent for the quality you’re getting. Bad Points: I can’t think of anything I would change. Other Points: Learning to hold the knife blade vertically as you gently draw it down and across the sharpeners might take a little practice, but we’re not talking painting the Sistine Chapel. There are NO magnets in this sharpening system. You won't end up with a sharpener clogged with metal filings. I can’t begin to tell you how much I hate sharpeners that use magnets. It is nearly impossible to remove metal filings. Pick up a couple of the Superaser Fibrous Cleaning Blocks for Ceramic Sharpeners. They quickly remove any tiny metal bits and keep your sharpeners in top shape. I can’t emphasize enough that it doesn’t take twenty minutes to set up the sharpener. It is super fast and easy to set up.

( not super expensive thanks to Chefs Knives to Go )These are great! I'll sharpen my knives maybe once ever other month on the water stones and take a down swipe or 2 on each side ( blade up ) daily before starting a big meal. And my knives cut great.... ## Frequently Bought Together - Idahone V-Type Ceramic Knife Sharpener with Four Rods, Model CS-4 - Superaser Fibrous Cleaning Block for Ceramic Sharpeners (2) - Ceramic Replacement Honing Rods/Crock Sticks for Idahone and other Knife Sharpeners (White Fine Grit, 2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/28853436-idahone-v-type-ceramic-knife-sharpener-with-four-rods-model](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/28853436-idahone-v-type-ceramic-knife-sharpener-with-four-rods-model) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
