Totally Awesome!!

Reviews: FISKARS 40127097 RollSharp Knife Sharpener

I tried the Fiskars axe sharpener on my axes and it worked so well, I decided to try the knife sharpener, too. I wasn't disappointed! I've had a Marttiini knife for 15 years that I've used for everything from whittling to slicing tomatoes, and I'd never sharpened it in all that time because it was still sharper than most -- then I swiped it through the Fiskars knife sharpener ten, twenty times, and now it's razor sharp! I have yet to see how long the super-sharp edge lasts, but I expect it to last a lot of cutting, since the axes I sharpened with the Fiskars axe sharpener stayed razor sharp after a full day of chopping!

Helps to restore an edge

Reviews: FISKARS 40127097 RollSharp Knife Sharpener

The Fiskars "roll sharp" is very inexpensive and well made given the plastics used in its constructions. My unit is Made in Finland as many Fiskars products use to be before they opened their Chinese factories.

I think I prefer tools that you run over an upside down knife (Accusharp, Norton) rather than push into the sharpener. One exception to this view would be the Chef's Choice motorized sharpeners. However, the Accusharp creates a 20 deg. edge which is problematic for Japanese cutlery.
