Waste of money
I actually didn't buy this off of Amazon but the website directly. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! It doesn't sharpen knives at all. It's a plastic piece of junk. I had big hopes that this would be the answer for all my dull kitchen knives. Instead, when I tried to sharpen my scissors on it, they turned out worse and now the scissors won't even cut anything. Additionally, the guarantee claims if you're not 100% satisfied you can send it back but that's less than the shipping and processing fee (again - from the original website - not Amazon) so basically by the time I ship it back to them (which would cost me $5-10) I'm netting $10.00 for a product I spent $30.00 of which $15.00 is shipping and processing fees. (I also got the "free" Chef's knife but there was an additional ship and processing charge on top of the other ship and proc. charge for the sharpener) It's a good reminder to me why I never buy anything from the infomercials.
