Yaxell 3 Stage Water Stone Knife Sharpener

Works as described does a beautiful job, just like everything else from this company.

Great item to sharp your knives

This sharpener works well and is simple to use. I wish it had some finer stones to get a nicer finished edge but it is still very effective the way it is

Western knives with thick heel bolsters are limited to how far back on the knife the blade will be sharpened

I love the ease of use of the Yaxell Water Stone knife sharpener and the results have been better than I expected. Some of my older Japanese two bevel knives were sharpened to a razor’s edge.

I have electric and manual water stones for my 12 degree bevel Japanese knives and I think I will be using this much more frequently. It is quick to fill with water and let the stones get wet, then with a few pulls it puts a good edge back on it and I don't have to worry about scarring it up or taking too much off too quickly like some electric ones do. It's pretty easy to tell which stone is coarse, medium and fine, as the lid did have the markings on it (1,2,3), though they were clear also and a little hard to see in some lights. Overall, as long as the stones hold up well ongoing, I am glad I chose to invest in this time saver.
