Amazon.com Review: Henckels Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won't skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.

Rating: - Good maintenance sharpener
This product allows almost anybody to greatly improve the condition of their knives. Used regularly, it greatly lengthens the interval between real sharpenings. And if your knives have been used against glass "cutting" boards or counter tops, then you can get some edge back with a bit of work.
There are two sets of of overlapping discs, through which the knife blade is pulled. This process actually deforms the cutting edge and raises a burr that becomes the new cutting edge. After ... Read More
Rating: - Great idea for us amateurs!
While I have been cooking for many years, I consider myself an amateur at sharpening knives. Perhaps I am intimidated by the use of a steel or ceramic, since I am never quite sure if I am doing it right. This new sharpener takes the guesswork out of sharpening. They tell you to use the steel first, then the ceramic, and you just pull the knive blade through, the angle of the sharpener to the blade is pre-set, and so no intimidation!

This product worked better than I thought it would. I was staying at a friends house at Lake tahoe for the month of September and while he had good Henckel knives they were all very dull. I went shopping on amazon.com for knive sharpener and ran across this one that was from Henckel and was only $20.00 or so. I ordered it and it came quickly and works very well. One of my better buys on amazon.
Rating: - Henckel Twin Sharp Knife Sharpener Works Great!
After we received our sharpener, I came home at lunch a few days later and went to cut a tomato. The knife slid through the skin like it was a hot knife going through butter. I asked my husband if he had sharpened the knives and he said yes. He said it was really easy to use. All our knives are good quality Henckels so we were particular as to what sharpener we bought. We had originally looked at the Henckel one slot sharpener until I found this model. We were afraid an electric sharpener would ... Read More
Rating: - So glad I bought this!
I never knew how much I would appreciate this little sharpener until I started using it. It has become an important part of my kitchen routine in just a few short weeks. Quickly puts a nice edge on all those knives I was thinking needed professional sharpening. Comfortable to grasp and nice enough to leave out on the counter for instant access. I'll think I'll buy one for my daughter--it's such a pleasure to have sharp knives.
