Robert Welch Hand-Held Knife Sharpener. MULTI AWARD WINNING DESIGN - The Ceramic Wheel Sharpens Blades To Exact 15° Angle. 10 Year Guarantee.

Having recently bought a high quality (very expensive) Robert Welch (RW) knife, I wanted a sharpener to match.As many will know there's quite a choice of sharpeners out there.In the end, I chose RW's own as, logically, it should match the quality of their knives.Yes, I had taken note of some of the negative reviews. However, I'm pretty sure that some of these are, as is often the case, user error.I've read & applied the instructions carefully. The RW sharpener does a great job, used properly, and I've even managed to sharpen some scissors.You get what you pay for, usually, and this product isn't overpriced for its ease of use & performance.

very easy to use and sharpens knifes well, just run it through a couple of times before use

A great sharpener light and easy to use and knives super sharp in no time thank you

Unlike the sharpeners which strip the metal from the blade this is a more sensible approach which mimics stone hand sharpening. The safety guard interferes with the knife travel at the handle end but it's no worse than the wear pattern from using a sharpening steel. Blunt knifes cause accidents so keeping yours sharp is a must. If you're not especially handy with a sharpening steel then this is an excellent alternative. In fact I now use my steels infrequently.

My husband used this for the first time the other day and thinks it is tremendous. All our knives are sharpened and wow how sharp they are. Having the opportunity to purchase spare for this makes it a really great machine.woukd highly recommend

I had my reservations, that this wouldn’t work, because I don’t have any Robert Welsh knives. However it works surprisingly well and feels extremely solid wile using it. It’s a little bit on the expensive side, but it’s well worth the money. My other sharpener lasted a few months but started to look and feel tired until it was no longer fit for purpose. This sharpener is very different in its exclusive design and won’t wear out like other sharpeners. When the sharpener stones wears out, you can buy a replacement stone.

I've been through lots of different sharpeners in my life and they've all proved absolutely useless - I always end up having to take my knives to the local cutlers. Now, first the first time I have a sharpener that's easy to use, very quick and produces fantastic results. I really highly recommend this product - if you need a sharpener don't wait get this one! You won't regret it.

Running a Robert Welch knife through the ceramic wheels of this device keeps the knife sharp and in good nick.I love my Robert Welch knives, and this sharpener keeps them in good shape. I don't get it out after every use of a knife, but when you're trying to slice a tomato and the skin doesn't give way immediately, this sharpener comes out of the drawer.A few gentle strokes through the ceramic wheel - after you've added water to the little reservoir - brings the blade back up to spec. I wouldn't be without it.
