RapalaCeramic Sharpener Two Stage

This is a great filet knife hone, simple and quick and can keep your filet knife shaving sharp. love sharpening knives with my expensive sharpening system, but when you’re in the field trying to keep your butchery clean this thing is a god send.

Enough with these fancy sharpeners. This is all you need in your kitchen. Use the metal side lightly and do several passes. I say lightly because it's pretty aggressive, and you don't want to ruin the edge. Don't use too much force, you want to be smooth. Once you've done that, only use the ceramic side from then on, and you'll be good to go. You really shouldn't need to use the metal sharpener again. I also run a slight trickle of water with the faucet right over top the knife and sharpener while I'm sharpening with the ceramic. It does a tremendous job and my knives are always super sharp. Now you know.

It definitely seems to work, makes knives sharper. Is compact if you want to take it camping.I sometimes get nervous, and nervous about whether or not it is getting the Tip of the knife sharpened as you try to rotated the knive at the tip as you are pulling it through. It is extra work to try and do smoothly in one pass. this would be a "problem" of all knife sharpeners with the design of holding the sharpener down on a base and then pulling the knive through. But it is not expensive, is light weight and compact and my knives cut better after being pulled through both sides several times. You need to hold it firmly. Its size demands that.

Sharpened my filet knives in a jiff.

I purchased a dozen assorted ceramic knives 3-4 months and they were dangerously sharp when new. Now a few are just sharp, so I decided to buy a sharpener and picked this item. It really doesn’t sharpen them very well, a regular steel knife good job, but not the ceramic knives.

Easy to use, great value

Just don't drop them on concrete, tile or pavers.

The media could not be loaded.  I understand that some people prefer to sharpen their knives and other cutting tools with a sharpening stone, and that's great. But my problem is that I can seldom get a very sharp edge with a stone. I'm just not good at it. In addition, a stone is something that's hard to carry with you.I've found that while it may be considered cheating by some purists, when compared to the method of using a traditional sharpening stone, this lightweight sharpener puts a great edge on my knives every single time. Plus, it's light and can be easily carried in my pocket. So for me, what's not to like about it?SIMPLE 2-STEP DIRECTIONS➙ start with the carbide side of the sharpener; hold it upright and pull your blade back through 3-6 times, depending on how dull and scuffed up your blade is➙ then flip the sharpener over and finish it up with the ceramic side of the toolThat's all there is to it. Be very careful not to place your finger under the blade as it goes through, as it will slip down at the end of each pass. Note that fat axe blades may not fit through here, and it can be hard to sharpen some tools like clippers with one of these. However, most blades can go right through the gap. I've used it on tactical knives, hunting knives, and kitchen knives..................This product was NOT given to me as part of any promotion. I bought it after doing some comparison shopping and this review is entirely the result of my own opinions and use of the product.

Seems to work fine.

Antes no me daba cuenta de lo mal afilados que estaban mis cuchillos hasta que comencé a afilarlos regularmente con este afilador.Es muy fácil de usar, la hoja del cuchillo se pone en la cuña que se forma con 2 cilindros cerámicos y se pasa por ahí con firmeza 3 o 4 veces. Primero se usa la parte más rugosa (negra) y luego la más lisa (blanca). Por el precio no pensé que funcionaría tan bien.Todos deberían tener uno.

Lo compre para probarlo, y resulto muy bueno y practico.Rápidamente puedes sacar filo a un cuchillo, y cortar carne y hueso muy fácil.Debes de tener cuidado ya que si no lo agarras de la forma correcta puedes cortarte, aclaro que no me corte, pero estuve muy cerca.Muy portátil, e incluso puedes ponerlo en algún lugar fijo para sacar filo mas rápido y con confianza.

cumple a la perfección lo que promete, da muy buen filo en pocas pasadas, lo he utilizado con cuchillos normales, y para mi sorpresa tambien los afila!!!!

Cabe destacar que por su tamaño es especial para traerlo en la caja de pesca o simplemente tenerlo guarado en la alacena o en un cajón de la cocina, tiene 2 estaciones de afilado ceramico que permiten dejar los cuchillos afilados sin mucho esfuerzo
