Wusthof 8861 9-inch Diamond Steel Sharpener



works great!
The only drawback, is that it doesn't last longer. It does a terrific job bringing the edge back on my knives, but it needs replacing more often than expected (perhaps they are only meant to last a year or two with regular use?).

Very sharp and very simple
This Wusthof is the best sharpener I have used for large knives. Just run the blade at the angle you want then just swipe the blade on the rod about 5 times per side and you are done. This aligns the edge and sharpens at the same time. What a time saver. Of course, you will expect nothing less from Wusthof. I have used these on my folding knives as well and it does sharpen my hard steel knives as well. But I prefer to use my Smith's Adjustable Angle sharpener for those small knives because it has a Ceramic finishing stone as well. I will probably buy the Wusthof Ceramic sharpener as well, but it is not a must. I just use this to sharpen once in a while and a Wusthof Steel Sharpener that came with my Wusthof Set for daily use.

I love Wusthof knives and sharpeners. They are really the best there is.

Great product so far.
I can put an edge on a knife very quickly. If it still is keeping knives sharp a year from now, it will be a super product.
