User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be turned around for a left handed person to use? Or do the blades only go one way
Answer:	From what I understand there is no difference whatsoever in specs from the HD 25 to the original HD 25-1 II. This article may help (http://djworx.com/sennheiser-classic-hd-25-headphone-gets-range-tweak). It seems like they just streamlined it to make it easier for customers to tell that those are "the" HD 25's. There is a "light" version now with one headband, the regular version is the equivalent to the HD 25-1 II, and the "plus version" comes with extra ear pads, extra straight 1.5 mm cord, and a pouch.
Question:	Can you use his for scissors
Answer:	I certainly hope they have the velour that you swap on. I love the velour. Yes, for just a few weeks they hurt while breaking in, but only for a very short time when they are brand new. They have a break-in period, so your ears hurt if you have them on for hours when they are new. And then they mould to your ears, and they are the MOST comfortable. For YEARS of heavy, heavy wear. I bought mine in 2011. It is now 2017. And I have accidentally: sat on them, stepped on them, got them stuck in the metal parts of a recliner chair! They have been accidentally crushed under heavy books, sweat-soaked during exercise, and almost anything else you can probably imagine. Almost every day something dire would happen because I used them for hours and hours and hours. And 6 years is a very long time!! I may get the protective case, because I would have gotten more years from them! These are the best and most durable, and that's not just my opinion. And there is no phony bass. If you want to change that, there are easy ways to get add-on bass. The mid-range is beyond awesome. Anyone who lives and works with music should have a pair of these. And if you treat them more kindly than I did, they will outlive your new puppy! They are STRONG. In every way.
Question:	Will this work on my Japanese Shun knives
Answer:	You can go opt the HD-25 or HD-25 Plus to get the same product as the HD-25 1-II with many updates.
Question:	Can it sharpen serrated knives
Answer:	I purchased a pair about a month ago and have used them almost daily ever since. Ideal for both monitoring and the casual listener.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used to sharpen ice skates
Answer:	Yes, it can be turned around. It also has marks on the second side for a left handed person.
Question:	What degree does it sharpen to
Answer:	There are two styles. One has a slot on the bottom for scissors. It looks entirely different than the pic. in the ad. You have to click where it gives you a choice of 3 or 4 slots. I don't think many or anyone apparently saw that part. Look and see. I am not saying that its good. I am just saying the other model claims to sharpen scissors. I don't know which sharpener I am going to buy. I would be nice to be able sharpen my scissors though. ciao
Question:	Will this sharpen an 8 in. blade with an angle of 15 degrees
Answer:	Do NOT use this on Japanese or Asian style knives. They require a steeper angle for sharpening that this sharpener cannot provide. At best, you'd be taking off the entire edge and replacing it with a non-hardened western-style edge. At worst, you'd be destroying your knife.
Question:	sirve para cuchillos dentados
Answer:	I would not put a serrated knife in any sharpener. A sharpener is designed to smooth a blade to the point of being sharp.

PriorityChef Diamond Coated Knife Sharpener For Straight and Serrated Knives

At PriorityChef, we don’t believe that you have to be a professional chef to use the best-made tools. You want to make dinner quickly, easily, and safely and you need the proper kitchen implements to do that.

After years of chopping with dull-edged knives and chucking more than a few in the trash prematurely, we decided that something needed to change. Good knives don’t come cheap and most of us can’t afford to buy a new collection every couple of years––and why should we? That’s why knife sharpeners exist.

Except that many of them don’t actually perform very well. Some are prone to rusting. Others provide only straight sharpening action, leaving your blade only slightly than it was before.

PriorityChef Diamond-Coated Professional Knife Sharpening System

What makes our knife sharpener one of the most innovative kitchen tools you’ll ever own? First, and unlike other knife sharpeners, it has a two-slot system that both files and polishes all blade sizes and types. This means you can use it for every knife you own. It maintains the sharpness of your knives for much longer than your average sharpener.

How Does it Work?

Step One: The first slot houses a diamond-coated wheel to shape the angle of the knife’s blade. Pull your straight knives through approximately 10 times.

Step Two: The second ceramic honing wheel polishes your knife revealing a smooth, clean blade from spine to edge. Pull your straight and serrated knives through approximately 10 times.

Your Most Effective and Useful Kitchen Tool From Our Family to Yours

We have experience with our product. In fact, we designed it specifically to meet our demands for a better quality knife sharpener and to end the frustration of cutting with lifeless blades. We feel that everyone should have access to kitchen tools that are of professional quality but are also simple and safe to use.

Diamond and Ceramic Dual-Sharpening Power

Engineered to Sharpen Straight and Serrated Blades

Sleek, Innovative Design

Have you ever purchased a great kitchen appliance that checked all the boxes, except that it was an unattractive, clunky box that sat upon your kitchen countertop?

PriorityChef takes pride in all their products, designing them with style, versatility in appearance, and attention to size.

Your PriorityChef Knife Sharpener lends your kitchen an elegant edge that complements every style.

Your Safety is Covered

Our no-slip, cushioned base grips the surface of your countertop to prevent any movement while you’re sharpening your knives, ensuring your safety and protecting your countertop from scratches.

Simply grasp the rounded handle as you pull your knife through the first and/or second wheels and notice how it stays firmly in place.

Don’t risk buying a knife sharpener that doesn’t make safety a priority - with us it’s our priority.

Sharpens to Perfection

A knife with a double-beveled edge has symmetrical angles on either side of the blade’s edge, making it effective for cutting, slicing, and chopping a variety of foods and materials.

Most multi-purpose knives have this design so we engineered our sharpening wheels to a specific angle to allow for a perfectly symmetrical chiseled and polished blade, reducing the number of times you’ll have to sharpen your knives.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this sharpen scissors
Answer:	I am not sure where to find replacement parts. I didn't keep my knife sharpener. I returned mine. I wasn't at all impressed with the product.
Question:	Does this sharpener only sharpen to a 15 degree edge? Or can it do 20 also
Answer:	You can buy ruixin stones on Amazon or eBay. You can buy aluminum backing plates on eBay. Use an epoxy to glue stones to backing plate.
Question:	Will this knife sharpener sharpen small paring knife
Answer:	I got fair results. Try it. Take your time. My knife has a very small recurve & I'm new to sharpening with a clamp in system since I got arthritis. I could not sharpen with this sharpener & slice paper so I got the KME with diamond stones & I'm very happy. Sold & sent all the chinese knock offs back. You can pick up a Lansky or Gatco system with diamond stones with a serrated stone about $80 almost as good as KME. Whatever you get Amazon has a pretty good return policy.
Question:	Can I get replacement grinding stones for this sharpener
Answer:	All are wet stones. Only issue is those mounted to the retention block. I soak the bare stones but only do a quick rinse with the mounted stones. The comments for dry use are usually just when doing the quick magic marker test. The residual water tends to wash away the color.

Protect Your Investment

Since all knives dull with use, it's important to protect your cutlery investments with the right maintenance tools. A knife's long-term performance depends on how it is resharpened.

Knives made of the finest steel will hold an edge longer, but even the best of knives dull with use- and the initial factory edge only lasts for the first few days or weeks of use.

Than for more than 99% of a knife's useful life, it's edge performance depends on how it is resharpened. Replicating the initial factory edge is not particularly relevant, especially since today's modern sharpeners can apply a better factory edge on every knife.

Product description

The Presto electric knife sharpener provides an easy, automatic way to sharpen most non-serrated kitchen and sport knives to a razor sharp edge. With a special two stage system, it precision grinds a perfect sharpening angle, then fine hones and polishes the edge for professional results at home, anytime. 120 volts AC. Features: Nonslip Base, Electric Sharpening, Preset Angles for Correct Sharpening, Sharpening Levels: Coarse and Fine

All kitchen and sporting knives, whether professional quality or inexpensive, need a blade tune-up now and then. This electric sharpener produces razor-sharp edges using the same rapidly rotating Sapphirite grinding wheels used by professional shops. A two-stage system allows knives to be ground and sharpened on the Stage 1 half of the machine, and then honed on the Stage 2 half. Blade guides hold the knife at the ideal sharpening angle for each side of the blade, as it is drawn slowly towards the user and kept parallel to the countertop. The sharpener is suitable for knives made of alloy, carbon, or stainless steel; it is perfectly normal for sparks to fly when knives of high carbon steel come in contact with the Sapphirite wheels. Non-electric serrated knives that are only serrated on one side can also be sharpened with this machine. Three suction cups on the bottom hold the sharpener securely on a table or countertop, and two receptacles underneath catch metal filings for disposal. The sharpener measures 8-1/4 by 5-3/4 by 4 inches, and is covered by a 1-year limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the angle adjustable
Answer:	It can, but I would only use the fine point sharpener to touch up the blade. You will eventually have to use a round file type sharpener to bring out the serrations again.
Question:	I ruined my knife. Cutting edge looks bent? no longer sharp. what did I do wrong? did I put it too far into the sharpening space-- It got stuck twice.tx
Answer:	Probably, but I would use a sharpener made specifically for ceramic knives.

Question:	Will it sharpen scissors

Question:	Can it sharpen scissors
Answer:	The Presto Knife Sharpener was not designed to sharpen scissors.

You can call (1-800-877-0441) or e-mail ([email protected]). We are here to help.
Question:	Will this work on a large bread knife with long serrations
Answer:	i beg to differ on using the pesto 08810 to sharpen serrated knives .... the only way to sharpen a serrated knife long or short is by using a round rat tail sharpening tool then each serration must be sharpened individually .... by turning the knife sideways (bevels showing directed away from you ) placing the small end on the tail in the bevel and pushing gently through each serration bevel .... its a timely process but its the really only way
Question:	At what angle does this unit sharpen
Answer:	The angle is adjustable to three different positions but the exact angle is difficult to measure without an optical comparator. Lowest angle is for thin knives like a fillet, and the highest angle is for things like cleavers. However, there is nothing to prevent you from sharpening a cleaver to the angle normally used for a fillet knife. I work in the medical device industry where we sharpen surgical needles. I inspected the sharpened edge using a 10x eye loupe, and the results are fantastic. A little bit of micro serrations on the edge creates a very sharp cutting surface. I have sharpened knives for many friends and they were all amazed at the quality and sharpness of their knives.Update: After 2 years of use, it is still going strong and one of my favorite tools. Very easy to use once you get the "smooth pulling the knife towards you" technique down.
Question:	How does this compare to Presto's 2 stage electric sharpener
Answer:	The 3-stage sharpener has an adjustment for the thickness(thin, medium, wide) of the blade to be sharpened which allows for better positioning of the knife blade to the sharpening wheel. The 2-stage sharpener does not have this feature.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where can I buy replacement stones
Answer:	Amazon
Question:	What stones are included with this kit? Picture and description don’t match
Answer:	6 stones are glued to a plastic piece that fits into the handle... ( gadget that holds the angle) ... they fit nicely... they are marked 3000, 2000, 1500, 800, 400... four do not have the plastic piece... I am guessing is for Manuel use . They are marked 1500, 600, 320, 120. They are the same size and shape as the others so you might take off one of the others and glue one of these on...
Question:	What replacement stones fit this
Answer:	It looks like most of the others will work. Her is a link to the ones I’m using. They are great! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B089NBVB1K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Question:	Is there an app to use to set the angle
Answer:	You can install and use a protractor app on your phone to help determine the bevel angle of the knife and also to set the stones to the correct angle.

User questions & answers

Question:	What type of sharpener would you use for regular blades as well as serrated knives
Answer:	I am very happy with the performance of the Wusthof Edge 2 sharpener. It does a great job on both serrated and standard blades. The price is very competitive as well.
Question:	Does this work for serrated knives
Answer:	To repeat the information on the packaging for my sharpener, which was posted on another answer : The instructions say that it "can be used for serrated and scalloped edges (ceramic fine stage only)" which means only pull the knife through the slot labeled "fine" for finishing the edge. Bear in mind often what Wusthof calls 'serrated' knives actually have a beveled and scalloped edge, and are not like the traditional pointy sharp serrated knives of other brands. So perhaps the answer is "maybe" it can be used on a certain type of serrated knives
Question:	How do I purchase replacement stones for the sharpener
Answer:	You do not replace the "carbide" inserts. You buy a whole new sharpener, at a 19.95 price point - the thing is a throw-away. I have not had to replace ours yet. Lots of life from a 20 buck purchase.
Question:	What is the edge angle? (ex.) 20 degrees
Answer:	According to the Amazon product description of the "Wusthof Precision Edge 4 Stage Knife Sharpener":The standard sharpener uses carbide blades set at 28 degrees or 14 degrees per side to sharpenersic your standard kitchen knives. Stage 2 of the standard side uses ceramic rods to hone a fine edge on your blade. Simply slide the cover over to Asian knives to sharpen your Asian knives to a 20 degree angle or 10 degrees per side". So if this one is the standard part of the above, the angle is 14 deg according to Amazon.On the booklet that came with it, Wusthof says "Designed to handle all new knives with PEtec edge". Various sources on the web claim that with PEtec marketing Wusthof has reduced their edge angle from the former 19 deg to 14 deg (per side). Other web sources claim (old) German knives are 22 deg per side.I took an aligned macro photograph and measured the ratio of the coarse carbide blade separation vs perpendicular height, and using trigonometry got 18.4 deg per side (est error: +/- 0.4 deg ). Same measurement on the fine ceramic rods got 18.5 deg. It is possible the angle changes slightly when one actually puts a knife in the slots and applies some pressure.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this Wusthof knife sharpener be used by either a left or right handed person
Answer:	Yes. This can be used by left of right hand. It is a wonderful sharpener.. I highly recommend it.
Question:	Why do you need 2 slots? Why not only provide one slot? In other words, what is the role of each slot
Answer:	This is a 2 stage sharpener. One is coarse and one is fine. For knives that are really dull you would use both. Fist the coarse and then the fine. To touch up you would just need to use the fine. Thanks Lee
Question:	Will this item sharpen ceramic knives
Answer:	This will not sharpen Ceramic Knives.
Question:	Whats the difference between the Wusthof 2 stage and 4 stage sharpeners
Answer:	You really need to know the knives you have and their blade angles before buying any of these sharpeners because with more expensive blades it's best to keep them at or near the factory angle. The description says these provide two angles (both coarse and fine), 14 and 10 degree. If you have older knifes, these angles are a bit fine, as most the older knives are closer to 20 degrees. These provide the proper angles for the Classic Series Wusthof knives. Most of those are 14 degrees, but the Japanese style knives have a 10 degree angle for really fine cutting, when you want the blade to go through something with very little effort, such as cutting vegetables. Many other blade don't use these angles, including different series of Wusthof blades. Know the blade angles of your knives and it's best to sharpen close to those angles.

Product description

The Original Knife & Tool Sharpener is the first knife sharpener designed to sharpen every knife you own. Using flexible abrasive belts, the sharpener is able to sharpen not just straight bladed knives, but also curved knives, tanto blades, filet knives, serrated knives, gut hooks and virtually any other shape of knife blade. The Knife & Tool Sharpener uses precision angle sharpening guides to ensure that you get the proper angle every time. Two guides are included: a 50° guide for hunting and outdoor knives (25° per bevel) and a 40° guide for thinner blades and kitchen knives (20° per bevel). Professional knife makers use flexible belts to put a razor sharp edge on their blades, and now you can have the same technology at home to use any time your knives get dull. You may already have other sharpening methods, but never before has a knife sharpener been able to quickly and easily sharpen this broad range of knives to such extremely sharp results. Sharpening scissors requires the use of the scissor guide. Freehand sharpening cannot create the consistent edge necessary for scissors to cut. The scissor guide is set at 65° based on the most common scissor edge angles. The guide is designed for common "household" size scissors, including kitchen and shop shears. A 60° angled scissor guide is available on the optional 40° Outdoor Knife Guide. It is possible to regrind damaged scissor blades to 65° or 60° angle regardless of the original angle of the edge

• Sharpen every knife you own like a pro quickly, easily and with repeatable, consistent results. Creates the sharpest blades you've ever had!
• Easily Replaceable Abrasive Grit Belts. Comes with premium abrasive belts to meet all your sharpening needs: Coarse (P80), Medium (P220) and Fine (6000). Abrasive belts won't burn or damage blade steel during sharpening.
• Precision sharpening guides provide fast, easy, repeatable and consistent results. Kitchen Knife guide sharpens blades to a 40° angle – Outdoor Knife Guide sharpens to a 50° angle.
• Can also be used to sharpen a wide range of bladed shop tools and lawn and garden tools such as Lawn Mower Blades, Garden Pruners, Shears, Shovels, Scrapers and more. Also makes the ideal hand held detail grinder
• 1-year warranty – warranty only valid for North American 110v power source applications. Use of power converters for 220V not recommended. Can be run with 12V power inverter (min. 150 watt) from car, truck, RV, boat, etc.

User questions & answers

Question:	how about sharpening gut hooks on hunting knives...how hard is this to sharpen
Answer:	Its very flat I use the coarse and extra coarse to flatten water stones all the time. I would recommend them to anyone for just water stone flattening it works great but in also use it to sharpen with great results
Question:	Will this sharpen Japanese chef's knives that have a 30° (15° per side) angle
Answer:	You only get one but they show the 3 different grits. These aren't stones but rather diamond embedded steel plates.
Question:	Anyone know how this model differs from the ken onion edition for $130? is this model nearly as good at
Answer:	Here's the "what for" on this item You absolutely can sharpen any metal on this stone, but you will be limited to the actual sharpness and bevel width. This stone is made with larger diamonds than most coarse stones. Because of this, as well as its length and width (and skid-free bottom), it can take nicked and out-of-true edges and get them back on track very quickly (use water only, no oils). It is a 2X coarse blade, and awesome doing what it is intended to do (this includes grinding down chisels, whittling tools, whetstones, iron, steel, etc). It could be used to put a decent edge on your blade, but it really is limited to coarse work needed to prepare it for the proper stone; I recommend soft stones from Arkansas, they make great whetstones for fine honing, but any quality soft stone is the next step. To make this long answer longer, the reason the DMT is mentioned and recommended to flatten whetstones is that, again, the large diamonds go to work quickly and grind down uneven, pocked, or dipped anomalies on the much softer soft stones which makes plumbing a straight edge on a fine blade much more effective. So, basically, you keep the DMT to grind the soft stone to level, use it to work the blade to rid it of abnormalities, and then let that rejuvenated hard and straight blade make woo with that fine Arkansas (or personal choice of) whetstone (water, spit, and oil are optional). Sorry for the long story, take care of the ones you love, thank a vet, prepare, prepare, prepare, and have a great September; especially those of you who have the privilege of experiencing the changing of the colors! Also, it's the time of year we wait for; muleys, white tail, wapiti, antelope, and turkey (plus whatever else ya'll get to hunt and stock in your territory). Prep them blades, clean and sleep with them guns, shake them cartridges to loosen up and distribute the powder, and keep field stones handy for quick edges for the cold, morning, field dressing...And thanks for the question!
Question:	How well does this work on mower blades
Answer:	Allene is correct re coarse, fine and extra fine. However, grit sizes can be confusing because of the different grading systems of the particles. Abrasives with the same grit number can actually have different particle sizes. It all depends upon the grading system. For example a 2,000 grit water stone would not have the same particle size as a 2000 grit wet dry paper. There is even a difference among the paper abrasives. The Europeans use the FEPA system. Their abrasive sizes are preceded by a P (e.g. P220). Americans use the CAMI system. CAMI just has the number (e.g. 220). Again identical numbers might have different size particles when measured in microns. Therefore, I always try to get a reading on the particle size in microns. A micron is 1/1,000th of a mm. DMT also makes Extra Extra Coarse which is a 120 mesh (thats 120 little openings per sq. in.) and particle size of 120 microns. Extra Coarse is 220 mesh and a particle size of 60 microns. The coarse grit is 45 microns. Fine is 25 microns. Extra Fine is 9 microns. There is also an Extra Extra Fine which is 8000 mesh that is a 3 micron particle size. > 50 microns is considered grinding material. 15 - 50 microns is honing material and less than 15 microns is considered polishing material. I hope this helps.

Its unique, ergonomic design guards your fingers while a dependable, diamond-honed tungsten carbide blade puts a precision edge on your tools.

Versatile, User-Friendly Design

A sharp blade makes it easier to get work done quickly and safely. The innovative AccuSharp Knife Sharpener lets you sharpen most blades in around ten seconds. Sharpening is oil- and mess-free, and it doesn't require guessing at angles or handling rough, awkward stones. This sharpener's easy-to-use design makes it a great tool to have on hand in professional and personal kitchens, as well as an easy choice for hunters, fishermen and women, gardeners, and craftspeople.

Featuring a unique, ergonomic handle, the AccuSharp fits neatly in either hand to accommodate both right- and left-handed users, and it includes a full-length guard that protects your fingers throughout the sharpening process.

Fast, Effective Sharpening

To get started sharpening, you simply place your knife on a table or counter top with the cutting edge up. Hold the knife handle securely with one hand. Then let the "V" notch on the sharpener straddle the blade, and use your thumb to apply light pressure as you draw the AccuSharp down past the point of the blade.

When you first use the AccuSharp on a blade, several passes may be required to make sure that your knife's cutting angle conforms to the AccuSharp angle. But once that angle is achieved the first time, it should take just two or three brief passes to put a sharp edge back on your knife--which means that sharpening fits into your busy schedule instead of interfering with it.

Dependable, Long-Lasting Construction

To deliver years of reliable use, AccuSharp sharpening blades are crafted from diamond-honed tungsten carbide, one of the hardest known materials. And because even the toughest industrial-quality blades eventually begin to show wear, AccuSharp's unique design allows you to reverse the blade to double its life span. Most users report an average of five to 10 years between blade replacements, which means that it's easy to ensure that your sharpener will be ready to go when you need it.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the sharpening angle of the accusharp knife sharpener
Answer:	A 20 degree angle.
Question:	Will this sharpen serrated edge knives
Answer:	I have used this on my serrates knives but I do it very gently. It works wonderful on all the other knives. One mistake that people make is they think that the honing tool is to sharpen the knives it only is to straighten the edge of the knives. I hope that this answers your question. Have a glorious Thanksgiving and a Blessed Christmas.
Question:	Does this work on cheap knives bought from the dollar store or would it damage the AccuSharp
Answer:	The directions say it works on kitchen knives. AccuSharp has a lifetime warranty.
Question:	How do I reverse the blades? Lower to upper or front to back? Instructions say to keep "dot" on blades facing the handle
Answer:	All you need to do is place the sharpener on a flat surface with the screw-heads on top, unscrew the top half and lift it up making sure that both blades are left on the bottom half. Now just lift one blade and put it in the slot of the second without rotating or flipping and the second blade in the first. When you do this, the dots on the blades will continue to point in their original direction i.e. facing toward the tail end of the handle. Its just that the position of one blade behind the other is reversed.
