Product Description:
f ease of use is your primary consideration, one of these hand held sharpeners is the correct sharpening tool for you. They are suitable for all brands of knives. However, they cannot be used for serrated knives or knives sharpened on one side like the Bunmei knives. All of the MinoSharps have two ceramic wheels, a rough grit and a medium grit. Please note: the MinoSharp is only recommended for Global knives
Amazon.com Review:
Recommended for sharpening Global knives but not necessarilythose from other manufacturers, this device employs two ceramicwheels--one coarse, the other fine--to return a dull knife to workingorder. Using the sharpener is simple and easy. Fill the wheels'compartment with water so your blade is continuously washed while it'sbeing sharpened. Then draw a knife seven or eight times through thecoarse (white) wheel. Then draw your blade seven or eight times throughthe fine (pink) wheel to bring it back to life. The sharpener's plastichandle is shaped so it can be gripped firmly and safely and has a soft,rubber-like insert for comfort. --Fred Brack

- Saved My global Knives!
I love my Global knives but was not getting good results with traditional sharpening method.This product has gotten my knives back to factory sharpness.It is also very easy to use...I highly recommend it.
Rating: - Excellent tool
I bought the MinoSharp for my son, a chef, to use with his Global chef's knife. He raved about it, so I bought the same knife and sharpener for my wife, who does NOT do a good job with stones, and she loves it.
Rating: - works well
It does work well and does put on a sharp edge, but not close to the sharpness out of the box.I expect I will learn the trick if there is one.
Rating: - Works surprisingly well
I have had this product for 2 years and it works very well for me - surprisingly, in that I've never before had great luck with DIY "sharpeners".
It brings back the sharpness of my large Global chef's knife very well.Also, it works on some of my other knives (such as a low-cost Oxo that has a thin blade) - even though these other knives do not have the same angle as the Global.On my more traditional knives with thicker blades (and which I had had professionally reground), the results ...

- Yoshikin makes two similar sharpeners...
I'm posting this as a comment, not as a review. Yoshikin makes two sharpeners that look almost identical, model numbers GS-220 and GS-440.

The 440 goes for ~$50 whereas the 220 goes for ~$35. To be honest, I don't know how the two differ technically. Yoshikin claims the 440 is a heavy duty version of the 220 and is designed to work on German knives ... Read More
