I bought this sharpener mainly for use on kitchen knives, axes, and pruners, and I can say that it offers a fairly good result, but after quite a bit of effort.... It requires continuous rubbing to achieve the desired result, which makes it more time-consuming than I expected. Although its performance is satisfactory for simple uses, its size is not as shown in the pictures. It is much smaller, about the size of an average person's palm, which may disappoint some. For those who need something more effective, I believe they should invest more money. However, for simple and technical uses, such as sharpening kitchen tools, it is an economical and acceptable solution.

Although I wanted to get the Lansky sharpening set (I will get that too), I ended up with this tool for now. It does what it promises. Yes, the result is not as good (compared to the Lansky system), but it restores and maintains knives in minimal time.
