great little sharpenerAugust 7, 2008 Eva D. Wehrle This little sharpener works great on my Furi knife. I have had my knife for some time but hadn't realized until I got my daughter one, how dull it had become. Even with sharpening with other sharpeners. The Furi sharpener is compact and easy to use. On top of that, it really works.
It sharpens the KnivesAugust 5, 2008 Bxmedic(NYC) Easy to use. About 5 or 6 quick swipes and my RR knives are good as new.
Furi Diamond Knife SharpnerJuly 31, 2008 Castner R. Waddell(FL USA) Superb instrument for sharpening. Gives an excellent edge and is very easy to use. Very safe and super product. Out performs many electric sharpners and gives a much better edge.
As advertised--so farJuly 21, 2008 count_zero(US-Florida) They need to lose the "Rachel Ray" connection... what a waste of their money. This is a very good sharpener for the money. I have been looking for something that does not use steel and ceramic rods and discs. This clever spring steel with diamond coating is great for 20-degree angle knives. We use a different sharpener for santoku- by wustof. If you break this opening it or can't figure out how to use it, you REALLY have a problem and need to get something else and lighten up your grip-- it is a piece of cake and takes very little storage space when closed again.
Every person should have one of theseJune 19, 2008 Michelle L. White My husband saw this on television and wanted to try it. He was a mid-level restaurant chef in his younger years and definitely knows his knives and HATES a dull knife. HE LOVES THIS PRODUCT. He loves it so much that he took it to work (the White House) to show the chefs there and suggest that they get them. He also gave his first one to his best friend who is the head chef at a high end French restaurant who also loves it and for some reason had never seen it before. Its sharpening ability equals or betters the intricate and difficult "professional" sharpening tools and its safe and easy for the least knowledgeable of chefs. I've used ours to sharpen scissors as well and it worked perfectly. I recommend this to anyone who is sick of dull knives and even more sick of trying to sharpen them with all the complicated tools out there or who doesn't want to pay someone to sharpen their knives for them. This works wonderfully. We plan to buy several more and give them as gifts to people we know who like to cook or hunt.
