MK2 Professional Electric Knife and Tool Sharpener - Adjustable Tool and Knife Sharpening System

I bought the very first version of the electric sharpener when they were new to the market and used it for over a decade. I had to replace the bands obviously due to use and had to replace the guards once time due to wear from the thousands of times a knife blade was pulled through them. That being said, over 10 years later, I still have that device and it runs like the day I got it. This week I upgraded to the MK2 design finally and what a change that was. I had no clue just how much easier it would be to use and how much better it would sharpen my knives in the kitchen. With the MK2 I don't need to have any skill really, no special knowledge of knife sharpening, nothing more than being able to pull a knife across a belt at a similar speed. I was able to sharpen knives that have been beaten to death in just a few minutes to literally shave my arm. I was shocked. I think one of the biggest factors is the accuracy of the blade guide vs the old model. The Mk2 does a great job at putting the blade exactly where it needs to be to get that perfect burr and then again to get that laser sharp edge we usually only see on high dollar knives or knives the first time we use them. Even my old cleaver is razer sharp now after just a few minutes. I think it took maybe 10 pulls on the grinder belt, then 10 more on the fine finishing belt and I was done. I had to warn the family to be careful with the knives as they are sharp again. Being so easy to set up means it only takes me a moment to get the device on the table and ready for action. This means I will use it more often to maintain my sharp knives. If its a pain to set up and becomes a task I am not going to resharpen as often. This tool removes all that worry. I find myself even taking it our just to put a fresh edge on my finer knives before I cut a nice meat or carve a bird. Sure there are way to get even sharper knives but that is for people who enjoy the art of knife sharpening. A lot of folks really do enjoy the satisfaction of a wet stone and metal and years of skill producing an amazing edge. If you are that person, this isn't your tool. But if you are like most folks and want to be able to make chef sharp kitchen knives with no skill, no learning time, no practice, and minimal effort, this is your tool for sure. I really love this MK2 and can't wait to use it for years to come.

Definitely better than stupid rolling tumbler or whatever. Sharpens good, easy and quick. Please take time to go through videos explaining how to sharpen. There is a lot of room for rookie mistakes.

This little;e machine does exactly what it says and then some. If you want to put a professional edge on your various cutting implements, look no further. The belt system this sharpener uses is similar to what many knife manufacturers use. Wth just a minimal amount of practice, you will have the sharpest knives in town. Very highly recommend.

The sharpener does well in getting your knives very sharp - Sharp enough to cut ordinary printer paper. However, if you want to get your knife sharper, you will have to at least go with a finer grit (ceramic stone in my case) and strop it with a leather strop. I've heard that the progression from the coarse grit to the fine grit may be a little much of a jump, but I don't know for sure. If you don't have any sharpening skills, I think this is a good investment. It will not get your knives shaving sharp without further edge refinement. Also, after sharpening only three knives, the leather lining on the downward angle guide has started to come off. It may be because I was sharpening a Damascus Steel blade that caused this by virtue of the texture of the steel layers in the blade. That being said, I don't think you will get a better knife sharpening device at this price point and the extra measures you need to take to get your knives really sharp apply when using sharpening stones equally as well (Ceramic, wet, or diamond).

Works great, better than any other knife sharpener I have used. Reasonable price as well. I sharpened 10 dull knives in about 20-25 minutes.

I just finished sharpening all our kitchen knives, scissors, and pocket knives. Wow, this thing make sharpening blades so freaking easy. It's soooo nice actully cutting with a sharp knife!

Very impressive sharpener!! Simple to use and very effective. I will buy another one when this one wears out. I was able to quickly bring back a knife with a questionable edge to very sharp incredibly fast. Very easy to use. I would definitely recommend this. Great gift for any knife enthusiast!

I am no expert in knife sharpening but I had a whetstone that I used from time to time. Using the whetstone is supposed to be the best method but, at least for me, it took a long time to achieve a decent edge. Did my research and decided to go for this sweet machine. I have 3 knifes that I use exclusively to fillet the fish I catch, a hunting bowie knife, a couple of Swiss knifes, and a full kitchen set (15 knifes). Brief peek a the instructions and go! just gently placed each blade against the angle guide and then sharpen, sharpen, sharpen. Just used the regular red band, no honing band necessary. Machine is well built, feels solid. Absolutely amazing

I've tried all kinds of knife sharpening tools in my life, but this one is a complete game-changer. It got all my dull knives razor-sharp in minutes, whereas previously it would take hours. I like my knives sharp, but I don't have time to sharpen them every time they lose their edge. This tool now allows me to bring my knife back to life in under two minutes, and that's including taking it out of the box and plugging it into the socket.

Let me get the negative out the way, Amazon state this is 110v it isn’t it’s 230v 50hz eu standard. Now this didn’t harm me I’m just glad I read some of the comments where 1 individual stated it was 230v and was the sole reason I bought it as I live in the UK. Now to what should have been the only thing I was going to type this tool is absolutely awesome it does exactly what it should I have no prior experience with this tool or anything like it the instructions are easy to follow and precise and my knifes are now razor sharp if you have been pondering just buy it.
