Product Description
The fine-edge Santoku can be one of the most useful knives in the kitchen. Be sure you stay on the cutting edge with this specialized sharpener, honing knives at the perfect angle for razor-sharp results every time. Lifetime warranty.

Amazon.com Review
The Asian-style santoku knife has a narrower blade angle than most kitchen knives, so a special sharpener is required. This handy two-stage sharpener from W�sthof uses coarse carbide heads to reset an edge on a dull knife, and fine-tunes one that's already fairly sharp with ceramic rods. Clearly labeled Coarse and Fine, the two slots on the sharpener let you know which to use. Set the knife blade vertically on the notch and apply gentle pressure while pulling the knife through. A large flange-style handle with a rubberized grip, along with a non-slip bottom, allows the sharpener to be held steady during use on a counter or table. Usually a well-cared-for santoku just requires a swipe or two through the Fine slot to keep it in razor-sharp condition. The sharpener measures 8 by 3 by 1-1/4 inches. --Ann Bieri

Excellent Sarpener - only for santoku September 13, 2008
As the other reviewers have commented this is one of the fastest and easiest santoku knife sharpeners available.

For those of you that this is your first santoku remember you do not need to use the course side every time. Use the fine side on a regular basis and the course side only when you have noticed a diminished edge on the knife. This will maximize the life of your santoku.

Also I suspect I will have to purchase on of these every year or so. At less than 10% the cost of my santoku it is a small price to pay.

Keep your Santoku factory sharp. May 30, 2008
Santoku knives are very sharp, mainly due to the angle of the edge. Other knife sharpeners will ruin that edge. If you want an easy way to keep your Santokus sharp this does the job without dragging out the a complete set of sharpening stones.

Destroyed 2 santoku knife edges with this March 30, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

This was received as a gift from my wife. I have 3 expensive santoku - two are Ken Onion. One of the Ken Onion and another less expensive had their blade edges badly, irreparably, chipped by this sharpener. Maybe it is some fluke defect as it appears ok when using it, but on the third or forth draw it chipped the blades. I am seeking recourse but not sure who will make good on a $200 knife for a $20 product. BE CAREFUL !!! I have been buying fine knives for 30 years-- not a novice.

I really like this - was pretty skeptical March 2, 2008
This is the first knife sharpener that has actually worked for me. The only reason that I bought is that my Mom raved about it. My Wusthof santoku chef's knife was almost a year old and had never been sharpened. I only made a few swipes on the fine side and the difference was noticeable. My santoku knife is my favorite, so this is a small investment to keep it performing well.
