Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MinoSharp Water Knife Sharpener, Gray/Black
Customer Review: Works surprisingly well
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this product for 2 years and it works very well for me - surprisingly, in that I've never before had great luck with DIY "sharpeners".
It brings back the sharpness of my large Global chef's knife very well. Also, it works on some of my other knives (such as a low-cost Oxo that has a thin blade) - even though these other knives do not have the same angle as the Global. On my more traditional knives with thicker blades (and which I had had professionally reground), the results are only OK, but still helpful. (Besides actual food cutting, I judge my results using the "paper test".)
All this said, I do run the blades through the rollers maybe 3X the number of times recommended in the instructions in order to get the best results. Of course, if I used this thing more often, maybe the recommended number would be enough.
Description of MinoSharp Water Knife Sharpener, Gray/Black
f ease of use is your primary consideration, one of these hand held sharpeners is the correct sharpening tool for you. They are suitable for all brands of knives. However, they cannot be used for serrated knives or knives sharpened on one side like the Bunmei knives. All of the MinoSharps have two ceramic wheels, a rough grit and a medium grit. Please note: the MinoSharp is only recommended for Global knivesRecommended for sharpening Global knives but not necessarily those from other manufacturers, this device employs two ceramic wheels--one coarse, the other fine--to return a dull knife to working order. Using the sharpener is simple and easy. Fill the wheels' compartment with water so your blade is continuously washed while it's being sharpened. Then draw a knife seven or eight times through the coarse (white) wheel. Then draw your blade seven or eight times through the fine (pink) wheel to bring it back to life. The sharpener's plastic handle is shaped so it can be gripped firmly and safely and has a soft, rubber-like insert for comfort. --Fred Brack
