Cutco Knife Sharpener #80 - Professional Knife Sharpening Tool for Kitchen, Hunting & Outdoor Use - Keep Blades Razor Sharp for Cooking, Camping & Survival

Did you know that knives have a defined angle to the cutting edge? And that this is important to consider when honing a knife? I didn't. Cutco knives need a 15 degree cutter to hone them and not damage the edge. This Cutco sharpener is designed for Cutco knives. It works very well, is easy to use and clean but it is expensive. I'll recommend it for Cutco knives but wish it was more reasonably priced.I keep my knives sharp easilyNo guess workJust swipe and goThis sharpener works fairly well however, don't expect to get the knife razor sharp with this tool alone. It will take a really dull knife to a an okay edge very quickly but that the best it will do. I sharpen a lot of knifes for other people and usually the knifes I get are in really bad shape. I start with this tool first to straighten the blade back out then go to a wet stone then finish up on a steel. When I'm finished sharping a knife you can shave with it.Finally found one that works. You can feel the friction on the blade when you pull it through. Generally, for a knife that's somewhat sharp, pull it through the Cutco 6-9 times and cut a tomato with no problem. It's a bit expensive for a knife sharpener but you'll definitely throw your old ones away.My cutco knives were becoming very dull and seriously needed sharpening. Just a few swipes of the knives in the sharpener chamber and my knives are as good as new! Great product!Works OK on straight edged knives but not on scissors or any serrated blades.A couple of swipes & Cutco knife is sharp again.This is my second. Sending out your Cutco knives for lifetime sharpening is a great deal, but the 10 day turnaround is not always convenient. This is the best thing to give this edge a quick tune-up. I use it for my Cutco hunting knife. If it gets a little dull when removing the pigs hide, two or three swipes and you are ready to keep going.
