Henckels Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won't skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.

I thought this was great when I got it. Now, after several years it doesn't do a darn thing.

Good for home use June 30, 2008
Good product for the home. You are not going to get razor sharp knifes lke a professional sharpening but not bad.

Awesome at honing / touching up an edge March 19, 2008
To get a really first rate edge, I use a Lansky system with the guide rods and different angles. However, that is a pain for a quick touch up because it requires clamping the blade down and setting up the rods. This Henckel's model is awesome for touching up an edge or honing as it is also called. I do not use it for re-setting an edge or sharpening. The difference...honing is that last step that gets it really sharp. Sharpening can be thought of as re-setting an edge that has been really dulled. The carbide wheels are really supposed to sharpen, but I don't get very good results. The ceramic wheels are simply the best way I know to get a good quick hone.

Try another sharpener March 13, 2008
We have Henckels knives, so figured the match would be a good idea. Didn't seem to matter. They shreaded one of the blades, and the others are just not really sharpening. The metal/ceramic sharpeners are a good idea, but not from this company. You can also invest in a sharpening stone, that will do just fine, just a little more work.

Does the job quickly, easily and on the cheap January 24, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

After seeing that it costs hundreds of dollars to get a set of knives sharpened by a "professional" and being too lazy to learn how to do it manually myself, I decided to give this a whirl. I figured, as long as it didn't ruin the knives, my wife would be happy. She used it once night after washing some knives, it only took a few minutes, put them away and then we went on vacation a few days later. After we returned, having forgotten that she had sharpened them, she was perplexed as to why the knives seemed quite a bit sharper than she remembered. It took her a few minutes to recall she had used this sharpener before we left. Granted we're not chefs, but you'll certainly notice the (positive) difference with your knives after using this sharpener.
