About Smith's CCKS 2 Step Knife Sharpener
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
95% found it easy to clean, althrough 5% struggled
I have found that the ceramic rods are difficult to clean and accumulate steel residue from the knife edge, which may reduce the effectiveness of the sharpener over time. I will try some other methods of cleaning them and update the review.
94% found the knife guard edeges helpful, while 6% encountered issues
The knife edge guard hones my kitchen knives to true them up between proper sharpening, and it does it quicker and easier than the old-fashioned steel.
The knife edge guards can handle curved blades easily, even a reverse curve blade which is challenging to sharpen with a stone.
I advise against using the sharpener on scissors, garden sheers, grafting blades, or any other blades sharpened on only one side.
92% appreciated the handle comfort, yet 8% found it uncomfortable
The design of the sharpener is straightforward and user-friendly. Even those new to knife sharpening will find the process simple and hassle-free.
I find the tool too small for comfortable holding and operation with larger hands.
The handle of this kitchen-knife-accessory is small and can only be held in place with two fingers, which can be uncomfortable.
92% were satisfied with the blade quality, but 8% weren't impressed
I have found that the sharpener effectively revitalizes dull blades. The coarse slot brings dull edges back to life, while the fine slot hones and polishes, resulting in remarkably sharp knives.
I advise against using the carbide side of the sharpener on chefs knives or other fine blades, as it takes off too much metal and can ruin the blade. Instead, grind off the very edge of the blade, which is treated to be hard enough to hold a sharp edge.
