Knife Sharpener Reviews

I have used a number of steels in my life, and though there may be some that are better, this steel is as good as any I have used, and is priced right. The diamond steels are a tease, but they do not seem to last very long. Also, the main job of a steel is to "allign" a blade. In practise, they will improve the sharpness of a blade, but that is just a small bonus. When a blade gets dull, you hone it on a stone (get a good one). If you use a steel for it's intended purpose, this one will do the job well.

The title is a more accurate description of this item. It worked fine for a short time then got noisier and had to be backed up with a hand operated opener. The knife sharpener is simply a fixed stone. The bottle opener must be operated by first tilting entire unit backward as it won't accommodate tall bottles. Cheap and ineffective.

I bought this a while ago and it worked great for a couple of months. After that it has totally stopped working. the can gripping mechanism has some what come loose and it can no longer grip the can to open it. Currently, its a worthless piece of junk in my kitchen.

This can opener works well, is quieter than previous can openers I have owned. I haven't used the knife sharpener so I can't rate that aspect. It looks good. Worth the price.
