Date: 2006-06-09 | Rating: 5 I cut meat for our local grocery store and know the importance of having a really sharp knife. I was told about the Diamond sharpening steel by a coworker that had gotten his at "Kiss The Cook" he paid $30 plus for his. Being on a tight budget right now due to rising gas prices I wasn't able to go and buy the one he was telling me about so I searched amazon. I found this sharpener/steel and decided to try it. This item arrived today and immediately got out my work knives. The were super sharp in no time and it didn't take much effort on my part at all. My arms will not get as sore now that I have the ability to keep my knives sharp. This sharpener is highly recommended. Excellent Sharpening Device Date: 2007-06-13 | Rating: 5 I have used these for years in the kitchen and also for elk and deer hunting. The sharpener is small enough that you can carry it in the field when hunting and it also stores easily in the kitchen. I use only high quality knives and this sharpener keeps them razor sharp. I would recommend this to anyone who knows how to use a sharpening steel. The diamond works faster and better than any regular steel sharpener.

Customer Reviews Lives up to its hype Date: 2010-01-31 | Rating: 5 Cook's Illustrated rated this sharpening steel as the best, and I think they're absolutely correct! I have used this steel regularly for the past year or two, and my knives have never come close to staying this sharp before... It's awesome! Finally, I have sharp knives again. Date: 2008-01-02 | Rating: 4 After months upon months of researching reviews and articles on every knife sharpener and method to keep kitchen knives sharp, I happened upon a review for diamond steels that made sense to me. Again, more research to determine any differences among diamond steels -- other than price. I chose this Ultimate Edge Model 10W . . . and I'm very happy with my selection. My Wusthof knives have an easily-achieved, very sharp edge again. Since I was already comfortable using a steel, switching to a diamond steel was easy. Albeit, I do use the diamond steel more slowly, keeping my knife blade at the recommended angle, and I use it only when necessary. I still use my regular steel whenever I pick up a knife to do a cutting task. The only -- minor -- concern I have is that this diamond steel has a plastic handle that may not last for many years, although it seems sturdy. Bottom line, this is a relatively inexpensive way to sharpen my knives without the damage that a bad electric sharpener can do. I'm pleased and would recommend using a diamond steel to anyone with expensive knives and concerns about keeping them sharp.

This one is my favorite. A few swipes really defines the edge of my knives and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to keep their knives razor sharp. Great product Date: 2007-03-04 | Rating: 5 Inexpensive and easy to use. All my kitchen knives are now sharp as razors. Simple and effective Date: 2009-05-07 | Rating: 5 This sharpening steel is well worth the money. Beware your knives will get very sharp with this tool. Works Date: 2009-11-24 | Rating: 4 After years of using my Chicago Cutlery sharpening steel I just couldn't keep a good edge on the knives any more. This sharpener quickly got the knives back in shape to where I can just dress them with the steel again. The abrasive is adhered to a ferrous material so I can hang it on my magnetic knife holder. I wouldn't use this as my only sharpener - you really want to finish with a finer grit.

Amazon.com Review Although steels often are touted as sharpening tools, few actually sharpen knife blades, but they do perform the vital task of realigning, or resetting, edges, which bend when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object. Because this tool's rod contains microcrystalline diamonds bonded with nickel to an oval steel shaft, it's hard enough to somewhat sharpen a blade. Using this steel won't replace a professional sharpening job, which proceeds from coarse grinding to ever-finer grinding at tightly controlled angles. However, it will lengthen intervals between sharpenings better than a steel without diamonds because it accomplishes the final task of a professional sharpening, which is polishing the edge with its 600-grit mesh to a fine point. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steel's 10-inch rod is long enough for most household knives. (Overall the tool is 15-1/4 inches long.) Lightweight and durable, the tool has a rugged plastic handle with a hanging hole, can be used for serrated knives as well as straight-edge blades, and also is useful for filing glass, crystal, and china. --Fred Brack Customer Reviews Not pretty, but works well Date: 2004-02-27 | Rating: 5 There isn't much you can say about a sharpening steel. It sharpens well, and is extremely fine for keeping already sharp blades at their sharpest. The handle is ugly gray plastic, but it seems solidly put together, and is easy to work with. A good sharpener Date: 2008-07-31 | Rating: 5 My son is apprenticing under the tutelage of a butcher, and his mentor recommended an oval sharpener. My son says it works well for sharpening the knives he uses during his workday. Keeps your knives sharp Date: 2009-01-14 | Rating: 5 This steel is terrific for keeping a keen edge on my knives. I have a really good electric sharpener, but find I only have to use it about once a year. It's not only the diamond finish on this steel, but the oval shape that is so important. Unlike a regular steel that is only good for realigning an edge, this one actually sharpens. I don't use it every time--maybe once a month and 15 passes on each side is generally enough to give me a razor sharp edge. I can't imagine that the vastly more expensive steels offered could do a better job than this one. Highly recommended. Just as sharp as you start with Date: 2009-01-20 | Rating: 4 This is an excellent tool. However you need to start with a nearly perfect blade. If you start with an unsharp blade this fine tool will be unable to help. You should use a regular steel or even better a more coarse sharpening stone/steel then follow by this for final honing. It does give a really fine edge to knives and the few that are sharp enough to take it in my house really show a difference in use against typically difficult items like mincing really fine onion. works well but poorly built Date: 2009-03-20 | Rating: 3 First the good....this rod keeps my edges like razors. The bad.... I was somewhat disappointed with the quality of the materials used in construction....everything from the plastic used in the handle to the grit itself. The entire piece just feels flimsy in your hand and i feel like if it slipped away from me and hit a hard floor it might break. The abrasive surface does an excellent job on my blades but for what little I use this piece, I already feel like it is wearing out and don't expect this tool to last long. And no...I don't abuse it when I use it. I don't want to be too negative. This rod does do a good job, there just might be better out there. It looks a little out of place in a block of high quality blades and will probably wear out sooner than you wish.

[Model 115] Customer Reviews Knife DULLER Date: 2010-01-07 | Rating: 1 This "knife sharpener" does not sharpen knives. After reading and following the instructions, I tried it on several knives. It leaves the knives much less sharp than they were before being "sharpened". The product is completely unacceptable. It creates a "burr" on the edge, which then folds over immediately the first time it touches anything. The product description is plainly false. I owned an old Chef's Choice sharpener, a model 110. That unit wore out after ten or so years of infrequent use. This unit was to replace that one. I will instead just keep a pair of Crock Sticks that I have had since I was a Boy Scout, and an old-fashioned grinding wheel.
