LavaRose Rolling Knife Sharpener kit, Diamond Steel, Easy Edge Magnetic Angle with Rolling Sharpening Discs, Professional 5 in 1 Sharpener for All Knives, Includes Japanese Magnetic Angle

This roller sharpener is not cheap - but it is compared to the Horl version. Having not used a Horl sharpener, I cannot compare the two; however, I can say that I am quite impressed with the results produced using this one. It looks like a good chunk of the money saving comes from the base, which is lightweight and made of plastic, and, as some have said, would benefit from stronger magnets. But, it does the job - and it has a basic pull-through sharpener and honer on the top and a sharpener for scissors. The roller is weighty, runs smoothly and feels like a high quality product.For the last 18 months I have been using a set of Knifeplanet wet stones that I purchased on Amazon, and I have become quite good with them. However, it is not possible to quickly sharpen a knife with wet stones because the stones need soaking. And then there is the mess to clear up afterwards. With this, I can very quickly and easily sharpen a knife, and the result is not far off what I am getting with the wet stones.I put the sharpener to test as soon as it arrived by using it to sharpen a number of different knives.I found that sharpening larger knives was straightforward; although, a couple needed longer than 5 minutes per side. This was probably because the angle I had ground them to using the whetstone was not 20 degrees.Sharpening small, flexible and narrow-bladed knives was not so straightforward and required a bit of experimentation - some will say 'messing about'. I settled on supporting the blades at the top of the magnet using boards or by putting the tip of my finger underneath.Ultimately, I managed to sharpen all of the blades bar one, my fishing knife. After working on the fishing knife for more than 20 minutes, I gave up and used the pull-through sharpener on top. It worked a treat and put a very nice sharp edge on it.Finally, I am sure there are those out there that want a razor-sharp finish that they can shave with and who might not be so impressed with this product. Me, I want knives sharp enough to cut my ripe tomatoes and grapes without squashing them and to fillet the fish I catch, and this product definitely achieves that.

I’ve been loving this sharpener, I use the roller to get my knives sharp and its easier than wet stones, in between sharpening sessions I’ve been using the quick ceramic honing on top if I need a quick touch-up, I just run my knife over it a few times and it’s ready to go. The whole thing is super handy and well-built. I’ve restored old knives that I haven’t used for ages, it takes a while when first doing it but I’ve found once they are sharp then it’s easy to keep on top of it with the blue stone, I’ve had no scratching issues with any of my knives and the 6000 grit is a great way to polish the knife too, makes the tomatoes slice like butter.

This is mostly an excellent product which brought my knives to a new level of sharpness. My only criticism would be that, for knives with a shallow blade, the magnet isn't strong enough so the blade drops below the level of the block, and the wheel rubs on the block, not the knife.

The roller is nice and heavy, it glides really smoothly over the knife and does most of the work for you. I work in a resturant and Ive had no issues with the magnets, they easily hold all of my knives. Ive used wet stones but this one makes the whole process feel effortless. It’s so much easier at work having this to quickly sharpener my knives . It’s amazing

I’ve had really nice knives for years and used to send them away for sharpening, but after using this knife sharpener for a while now, I’m absolutely thrilled with the results! It’s incredibly easy to use, and I love how fast it sharpens my knives. The rolling discs provide a perfect edge every time. Whether I’m using it wet or dry, it works flawlessly. Highly recommend

It provide adequate sharpening but nothing special. Leaves swirly scratches along the knife blade and a bit of a gimmick. So disappointed I'd wanted one for ages but sent it back - not impressed.

Not realy worth the 69.99 can't sharpen smaller knives welltakes a long time to get the angle right , the gide is definitely not the same angle as my £150 damsacan lardger knive, i hade to reshape the blade to the angle of the holder wasn't happy at all , you only get the course and the 3000 grid that's on it and have to buy others on top of the price.Wish I had tried the cheaper one

I have some Global knives and an approved sharpener was making the cutting edge look like a saw, i received this yesterday and got to work on two knives. The magnet is very strong and the base lets you choose the angle you need, set them on a sturdy base; then listen to music or a podcast while you sharpen your knives in accordance with the provided instructions. Great product.
