It is sharpening very well. I feel it "grab" when I run the knife across it, much moreso than the two previous sharpeners I had. The handle is a beautiful medium dark wood color. So much nicer looking than the standard black handles. This sharpener is a great value for the money. It's fairly heavy so it feels like a good quality. The length is perfect. ## Frequently Bought Together - TUO Honing Steel, Sharpening Rod for Kitchen Knives Daily Sharpening Maintenance, High Carbon German Stainless Steel with Pakkawood Handle, 8 inch - Fiery Phoenix Series - Kota Japan 12 in.
