Took a little bit of getting used to and researching on YouTube. 😊

I’m still learning on how to position our knives, as they become somewhat sharp, then dull up about 4 to 6 days later.

The Haroki sharpener is an excellent device and works great, however there is one, in my opinion, draw back! The sharpener 15deg/20deg base is .... too narrow, causing the health hazard while using it. The sharpened knife may, and it happened to me, dislocate while using the diamond sharpener! When diamond sharpener is push too strong against the knife it may occasionally dislodge the knife from its position thus creating health hazard. Solution: To widen the sharpener 15deg/20deg base by some 2, maybe 3 cm. Thank you. Regards, Waldemar Kruk

The magnet needs to be stronger. The actual file should have a bigger diameter. It’s too small for my bigger knives. It works fine on my smaller blades and does get them very sharp.

The sharpener works. As a previous owner of a set of stone sharpeners that no longer has the ability to maintain a correct angle my knives were not retaining their edges. Your product works! The order and delivery process became tedious since following confirmation of the order I was receiving multiple emails suggesting that the product was on its way. I appreciate your contact as a way of assuring me that the process was being implemented however I didn’t need to know this everyday. If you developed a modification on the knife holder to accommodate smaller paring or boning knives that would further enhance the sharpening device. Otherwise, I’m happy to have made the purchase. By the way, following receipt of the sharpener I was participating in prep work for our Buddhist Temples annual fund raising dinner and had occasion to use the sharpener frequently. Many of my fellow volunteers involved in the vegetable prep work were grateful to have their knives sharpened with the tool. I’ve since shared your most recent offering on Meta with a few of my friends.

Used 20 degree angle on my Wusthof steak knives and the blades feel a little ragged. Must I keep working with the 1000 grit?

Product is quality built and manufactured. I found smaller boning and pairing knives hard to sharpen. My larger knife needs some more work however, the cutting edge is significantly better.

It's taken a few tries to get my knives as sharp as you advertise
