Title: Surprisingly Good Sharpener with magnified images of edges
Review: Many of the reviews for this product are negative, but my suspicion is that people may have used very dull knives that have never been sharpened or have been sharpened badly. If a blade is not sharpened properly, it will not have a good bevel on the edge, and using this sharpener as recommended will not overcome a badly beveled edge It may be necessary to use many more swipes than the recommended ones to restore a good bevel.Once a good bevel has been achieved, the recommended number of passes using the "Fine" instructions, followed by the recommended honing passes can leave a very nice, serviceable edge.In the pictures, you see two knife edges under a 10x magnifying loupe. The edge on the right is a "reference" edge, which is the edge of a Wusthof paring knife that has been well cared for but this knife was reasonably sharp to start with, and I used the recommended number of passes to get the edge you see in the picture.The knife on the left is an inexpensive paring knife that has seen hard service with little care. When I first sharpened it, because the edge was in bad shape and the bevel was kind of thick, the initial edge was simply to fat to be able to put a good bevel on with the six or seven passes the instructions recommend. In fact, it took me maybe 25 or 30 passes with inspection under the loupe before I felt like a new bevel had been created. From here, I did about 10 passes using the "Fine" edge instructions, then about the same number using the hone directions (knife level to the ground with back and forth strokes rather than just the draw strokes used for coarse and fine edging. The result is actually quite good! The primary difference here between this job and a professional sharpening is in the polish. The Wusthof shows that it has a much smoother edge, but the angle and the bevel on the cheap knife is now quite identical and while it lacks the mirror finish one could achieve with an 8000 grit whetstone, it is very questionable to me if this would be worth doing. I mean if it was a professional, at the prices charged, I would expect a mirror finish, but now that the cheap knife has been re-beveled and honed, it is cutting like new again. This is a cheap knife and will likely not hold a sharp edge for long, but now that it has a good bevel on it again, just a few moments of time when it is starting to loose the fine edge should quickly and easily make it serviceable again.I am not a professional knife sharpener, but I do use a whetstone on my knives and I have to say that it is a lot of work and it requires patience and skill to get a superior edge, but of the home sharpenters I have used (including electric), I have to say that the Bavarian Edge really surprised me. While it did not sharpen this badly blunted knife with the minimal effort that would be needed to maintain a good blade, I was still able to relatively easily bring this knife back to a very sharp edge and this sharpener seems like it will make it very easy to maintain that edge.I think it is an excellent value and better than that, for someone that does not have the skill and time to use a stone to get a mirror finish, this is maybe as good as you are going to do sharpening knives at home. I am very impressed with this because it is easy to use, and in my opinion, if you take the time to make sure you have put on a good bevel, this device will give you a very sharp and serviceable edge.

Title: It really works... READ MY REVIEW!
Review: I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS... but this one deserves it. Before I purchased this knife sharpener I read many reviews. Most of those reviews were not very favorable but I read some that say it worked great. I figured its amazon and if I'm not happy I can return it. I got the sharpener and was excited to try it out on many knives that were in dire need of sharpening. I read the instructions and gave it a shot. I made sure the knife I was sharpening was super dull. Wouldnt slice a tomato. I started the sharpening as per the instructions. To my dismay I fell for the gimmick! The knife was no sharper than when I began. Basically crushed the tomato instead of slicing it. But.... I thought to myself this knife was ridiculously dull, even on my whetstone it would take at least 10 min to sharpen it. So I continued. I made approximately 25 strokes, with a good amount of pressure against what the instructions say to do, and then very lightly performed the polishing step. Wouldnt you know it. It was now razor sharp. This sharpener may not last as long as a whetstone but for the price and ease of use you can buy a replacement when it wears out. The convenience is hands down unbelievable. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Buy it, follow the directions as a guideline only and you will be happy. If the knife is extremely dull perform many more strokes than the directions say. If you know about knife sharpening you have to form a burr and then move on. Once you get it razor sharp you can then maintain the edge daily or every few days as the directions say. Happy sharpening!!!

Title: It works, and fast
Review: I have been sharpening knives and tools over 40 years, and have experimented with many different methods and gadgets. I’m pretty good at it, if I say so myself. I have never liked carbide sharpeners because they remove a lot of metal from the blade rather quickly, and leave a crude edge. I bought this for one of my adult kids who probably isn’t going to devote a lot of time to learning to sharpen with stones. Naturally, I had to try it myself.Bottom line: it works, and fast. It can take a blade from “how did that get so dull?” to what I’d call a very serviceable edge in a matter of seconds. Not what I would consider razor sharp, but sharp enough for most routine tasks in the kitchen. Just follow the instructions in the package. if you find that the recommended number of strokes at the “coarse” angle of approach doesn’t produce an edge that feels sharp (albeit unrefined), do a few more. The manufacturer really has no way of knowing how sharp or dull your knife or tool was to start, so the recommendation is pretty arbitrary; don’t take it as gospel.It does seem to work on coarsely serrated blades, although I suspect that over time (a long time) it will wear away the points of the serrations. (By coarsely serrated I mean serrations of ~1/8” diameter or more, like a decent bread knife. It won’t help you on cheap knives with tiny, sharply pointed serrations. Those are effectively unsharpenable.)I have used it on kitchen shears with reasonable success as well. Sharpen them like a single-bevel knife, per the instructions. It can be a little awkward; the handles tend to get in the way. You may not be able to sharpen the full length of the blade.I don’t like the fact that you cannot consistently control the bevel angle; you just sort of have to eyeball it. (But that’s true of freehand sharpening on stones, too.) That could easily be fixed if the manufacturer would inscribe angle gauges on the arced channels in which the two pivoting arms move.I am still concerned that it may remove excessive amounts of steel. But it works, it works fast, and there’s very little learning curve. It’s a decent option for the average person who isn’t interested in spending the time and money to buy and learn to use more traditional sharpening tools, but who wants functionally sharp knives and other edged tools with minimal fuss.
