Precision Adjust™ Knife Sharpener

I have had one of these for a year now and it does a great job of keeping my Japanese cooking knives very sharp. It is easy to use and great vaue and just works really well. What I particually like is how easy it is to swap between grit plates and to flip the knife over. It is not without a few minor faults; it does not work that well with narrow blades, the grit plates are also quite narrow which can make getting an even edge on the blade a challenge. I have also lost one of the rubber feet on the device which causes it to wobble a bit. These are minor faults though and I would definitely recomend this to anyone wanting to try a knife sharpening system. You would have to spend hundres more to get a better system than this!

I have mixed feelings about this unit. I agree that it is difficult to sharpen fillet knives or narrow blades. If you put the knife back into the “V” notch the stones will not clear the front of the clamp. I’ve clamped out on the end to be able to do the entire blade but sometimes the blade moves. I also did half a blade at a time just takes awhile. I also noticed after continuous use the screw that adjusts the angle seems to be looser than it was new and seen it move on me. Wish it had a locking mechanism. I do get better edges on the knives I did than by hand on a whet stone or with the pull through sharpeners but I still haven’t got a razor sharp edge. Would I buy it again or recommend? Probably not depending on what knives you’re trying to sharpen. Just my 2 cents.
