Coarse grinding begins the process by creating the proper sharpening angle. |
Medium grinding continues the sharpening by giving the blade a precision edge. |
Fine honing completes the process. An extra-fine grit ceramic wheel polishes the blade to a razor-sharp edge. |

Update: after 2 weeks of ownership and 30+ knives sharpened, I am completely satisfied with this product. I have sharpened all of my knives, slicing and serrated, and am compiling a nice set for each of my two sons who are moving out and need basic kitchen tools. My new hobby is to rescue unwanted quality knives at yard sales, and give them new lives as high performance tools. The results are truly awsome and it is such a pleasure to work with sharp tools again.
Update after approximately 1 month of use. I have sharpened close to 100 knives for friends and family with fantastic results. Some of the negative comments mention the motor to be underpowered. Either the motor is faulty on their unit, or they are pushing down too hard. A very light pressure works best. I would again recommend using one old knife to practice on, which will also break in the stones and perhaps reduce any over aggressive grinding. It is important to position yourself so that you are pulling the knife in a straight line towards yourself to keep the knife along the guide and at a consistent angle to the wheel. Since this is done at a slight angle to the unit, I move my body left or right accordingly. When I am using one of the sharpening slots, I angle my body so that my shoulder and arm are in line with the direction of knife motion. I also count the number of seconds that it takes me to complete the motion to make sure that I am not going too slow or too fast. So for an 8" blade, it should take me about 4 seconds to do one pass. For knives which have a curved tip, you have to raise the handle as you are pulling the tip across the stone to get the proper grind. On a long knife, I often will steady the tip with my other hand until it reaches the back of the unit.
It also helps to have a good high intensity light to see the edge for inspection and to see the wheel that you are using so that you can locate the knife precisely. I work in the medical device industry where we sharpen surgical needles which penetrate human tissue, so I am very familiar with what a good edge looks like. I also have a 10x loupe which makes edge inspection very easy. A dull edge will reflect light while a sharp one will not. So if you have a light directly over the edge, if you see specs of light reflecting back at you, that means that those areas are not yet sharp. If you can get a hold of a magnifier, hold it close to your eye, steady your hand by resting it against your cheek, and move the knife towards the magnifier until it comes into focus. Most people hold the object to magnify at arm's length, and move the magnifier until it is in focus, which is incorrect. If used properly, you will have a larger image to inspect.
Under magnification, the edge has micro serrations which make it very sharp. My company used to polish our needles so that they were very shiny with a smooth edge, but after developing a test for sharpness, we realized that a dull surface with a micro serrated edge is much sharper. We now use a process which keeps those micro serrations. When I am done sharpening a knife, I pull it very lightly across a finger and can feel it "biting" into the skin. Scary sharp!
I have also read on some knife forums that grinding an edge can de-temper the steel and make it weak. I reached out to one of my Metallurgists and was told that unless I can see visual heat lines, which I do not, de-tempering is not occurring. Although when sharpening stainless steel I do not get any sparks, carbon steel does spark a little, which is also a good test to see what type of steel it is if you are not sure. I recently bought a Vintage 10" Chef's Knife which was advertised as "stainless" but it had some light staining on the blade so I suspected that it was made from carbon steel. It did spark during sharpening so this confirmed that I got a carbon steel knife and a real find!
Now, some purists will argue that hand honing gives the best results. Perhaps, but I am not collecting priceless knives, but merely buying great knives and turning them into fabulous kitchen tools in a fraction of the time that it takes to hand tone. This sharpener is one of my favorite tools.
the (3rd) fine sharpening stone seems to be uneven on the right side.
As i draw the knife through that slot it tends to wobble.
While this sharpener isn't a substitution for professional sharpening by Cutco or others, it does a great job between the yearly pro sharpening. My vintage knives and favorites are sharp each time I use them throughout the year. Definitely recommend the 3 stage electronic knife sharpener by Presto.

J'apprecie qu'il aiguise les couteaux a dents aussi.
Pas encore essayé les couteaux céramique.
It is shocking that this is advertised on the Amazon UK website and priced in Pounds sterling.
Returned for a full refund.
¡Super fácil de usar!
Nunca había podido obtener ese filo en nuestros cuchillos de cocina. 🔪
Sólo la primera vez hay que pasarlo varias veces en el primer paso para obtener el ángulo adecuado en el filo.
No ocupa nada de espacio, es ligero (por si se quiere guardar) y muy silencioso.
Perfecto para nuestros cuchillos de cocina.
Excelente relación calidad precio.
Pará rebanar esos tomates 🍅 sin nada de esfuerzo y picar muy fino ese perejil 🌿
