Excellent for steeling any knife
This product is listed as a knife sharpener but that isnt what it really does. Its similiar to a butcher's steel. Its purpose is to take a knife that is already sharp and put a stright edge on it. You should only have to sharpen your knife once a year or so but should steel it frequently. When you use your knife the sharp edge gets bent over at the microscopic level and it no longer feels sharp. Using a steel realigns the edge and restores its sharpness.
The photo looks more imposing that it is. Its actually small and lightweight, made out of plastic. Its composed of two steel wheels. Draw the knife between them a few times and your edge will be restored at the proper angle. Its a good buy and recommended for any knife.
Works well on thin blades
This works great on thin bladed knives but falls a bit short on heavy blades. Its very well made and easy to operate. My Wife, who tends to ruin blades with a chef's steel, can use this without problems, this was the reason it was bought
Rada knife sharpener
Everyone loves my Rada knives. I have given several sets as gifts and always include a sharpener. It it a MUST have for any Rada knife owner. Easy to use, easy to store and works great! Usually 4 to 5 pulls through the sharpener gives it a "like new" edge. Great product and wouldn't be without one.
