Description
Fast and Simple | Patented spring-action bars invented in Austria by a master knife maker make sharpening easy and foolproof. Sharpen dull and damaged blades in seconds, or hone a razor sharp edge on even the finest knife blades. Get professional results easier and faster.
3-Action | 1: Sharpen by removing metal and cutting a new edge. 2: Hone by realigning the blade without removing metal. 3: For serrated knives, sharpen the complete edge by pulling through at an angle. More stable sharpening bars give superior results.
Auto-Adjusting | Precision tungsten-carbide sharpeners on patented spring-action bars automatically adjust to the angle of the knife blade. Control the angle from 11 degrees (super-sharp fillet knives) to 21 degrees (rugged chopping blades), including serrated and high-quality Damascus knives.
Safe for All Knives | Realign edges before they roll over and dull without the fear of damaging your blade. The honing function will keep knives razor sharp without removing any metal.
Solid 18/10 Stainless Steel base. One-piece cartridge design makes changing sharpeners fast and easy.

Love it!
Easy to use and now all my knives are super sharp. Absolutely the best knife sharpener I've ever owned and no more guessing or getting the angle wrong. I'm gifting them to other friends.

The only one that works
I've owned every "knife sharpener available. Besides paying a professional to expertly sharpen them, this device is the only thing I've ever owned that does the job properly. This should be a fixture in every restaurant. Well done.

Finally
The day I received it, I sharpened all my kitchen knives in just a few minutes and everything is now very sharp, As recommended by BT videos, I will do a quick honing pass before each use. This is the first sharpener I've used this quick and good.

VG2 sharpener
Started using the sharpener as soon as it arrived. So far this is the best sharpener I have owned. Has brought back knives that I had stopped using. I also own a tungston knife that now is as sharp as when I bought it. Would definitely recommend this sharpener.

Ease of Use
One tool with all the necessary functions that can restore both Asian and Western knives to their factory sharpness. Unlike many manual knife sharpeners out there my VG2 trumps every other sharpener I have used in a fraction of the time.

Solidly built tool
I ordered the stainless steel version, and this thing probably weighs a couple of pounds! I've purchased quite a few sharpeners over the years, but none have been as solidly put together, as this one. It sharpens very well also!!

My view
This sharpener was way beyond my expectations. I feel I can quickly sharpen our knives like an expert. And I never expected that the sharpening process could have been made to be so uncomplicated.

Stainless Steel Looks Great
Bought the stainless steel version and glad I did. The weight of the product makes sharpening much easier. The sharpeners work great and it looks great with our stainless steel looking appliances in the kitchen.

So Easy!
Bought this after using something similar to this that a friend had brought to our house for a meat chicken harvest. Since then I had been looking for something more affordable and just as easy to use. This fit the bill and it is awesome. We no longer have dull knives in the kitchen!

With minimal practice works extremely well
We first used the professional VG2 to sharpen and hone our 15 year old knives. We were amazed at the ease at which it brought them from being dull and barely usable to perfectly functional. Now our old blades have sharp, smooth edges that cut through tomatoes like a hot knife through butter. We love its low, handsome profile perfect for keeping it on countertop for ready use. The professional VG2 would be a perfect for gift for anyone who spends time in the kitchen prepping foods.
