Pre-set, 2 stage sharpener for optimum results
Perfect for all types of Global, Porsche and Asian knives
Wheels are lubricated with water to aid the sharpening process and minimise fiction

I have been dithering for some time about purchasing a knife sharpener, after reading the comments of others on this particular model decided to buy.
A good decision, plus a drawer full of sharp knives!

I bought this when I couldnt find anywhere that sharpens knives anymore and saw all the good reviews. It turned out to be a very good decision as the reviews are correct. This sharpens all knives brilliantly even cheap ones. I dont have global knives but this sharpener has easily and quickly sharpened ever knife that I own. Brilliant.
Ideal for a quick, razor-sharp knife - a must for Global users May 30, 2008

I bought one of these because I was tired with dragging out the whetstones each time my knives needed sharpening. I was surprised that this actually produced a far sharper blade than I could with a big whetstone set.
This version will take a knife from completely blunt to razor sharp with very little effort. You could probably do the classic Samurai silk scarf test on a Minosharp sharpened Global knife but it is a little impractical in the kitchen. A reasonable-sized global knife sharpened on one of these should drop through a tomato under its own weight easily.
One slight niggle (too small to dent the five star rating) - it does make a few small scratches on the knife blade. These are no worse than the general wear-and-tear marks they'll pick up with any moderate use and it shouldn't put you off.
If you use Global knives this is a must. Because it is so little effort, you'll keep your knives sharper and thus safer. Worth every penny.
It works! May 26, 2008

In under a minute a nasty old blunt knife is transformed into a razor sharp tool.
Apparently little and often is the best way to look after your knives, it's such a pleasure to use that this is no problem.
