Reviews

Absolutely amazing!!! I had recently

"Absolutely amazing!!! I had recently purchased an electric sharpener that was top rated but I thought my cheaper handheld sharpeners worked just as well. Then I got this hornet and it’s a complete game changer!! My 3 dalstrong knifes and all my JA Henkel knifes are razor sharp!! Great product!!"

— Mike B. (5/5)

So Far So Good!

"I bought this because I was not pleased with the electric sharpener I've been using for years so the 1st time I used it the knives seem to be sharper than what I'm used to. Simple to use with great results."

Best pull sharpener ever

"Will bring any knife edge just might take alot more pulls per level but did bring my old quantum 1 chefs knife back from dull to quite sharp and if I spent more time one it pretty sure it would be like new but the sharpener does scuff the finish near the blade edge definitely worth the money for a pull sharpener"

— Marco C. (5/5)

I watched a ton of

"I watched a ton of reviews on this sharpener and they were all basically the same. It just works. I went ahead and ordered one and first used an older inexpensive chefs knife and after running it through 2 complete cycles of the recommended it came out sharp as heck. Granite this is a little cheapie chefs knife. I then went ahead and brought my good knives back to life. I don’t know how long the 3 wet stone wheels will last or if there are replacements for it or not. I do recommend this sharpener if you have trouble with a traditional wet stone. The traditional wet stone is far superior but when you can’t work them properly like myself haha this is the next best thing."

— James H. (5/5)

Quite impressive

"The Review I cook at home every day and for a long time just lived with knives that were dull enough to be annoying but not enough to make me act. When I finally did, I didn't want to learn how to use a whetstone — I just wanted sharp knives. The cheap pull-through sharpeners I'd tried before never delivered. The Hornet uses water instead of dry grinding, which makes the whole process feel more controlled. Three stages, a couple minutes, and my knives come out sharper every time. It just works."

— Rick K. (5/5)
