Stylish stainless steel. Hard sharpen is easy and effective to use. 2 module positions will restore even the dullest knife edge. Full instructions included in box.

ReviewHenckels 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 firstborn 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 throughout and 3 inches tall, so you may store it in a drawer or display it in a little space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down more or less 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 introductory module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the initial module to fetch back the firstborn sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.

Have reasonable expectations
By Harry Haller
I own a set of Henckels knives that are various years old. They are used each day and in spite of regular honing they were getting dull. Keeping knives razor sharp is a skill that requires some exercise and the right kind of sharpener, and so I was skeptical that one of these quick sharpeners would do a good occupation at sharpening them, but I decisive to give it a try.

Does the sharpener make dull knives sharper? It surely does, in just a few minutes. Does it make them sharp sufficient for routine use? I would say yes; I am not a professional chef, but I find that I am much happier with the performance of my knives after sharpening. Does it return them to their factory degree of razor sharpness? Unfortunatley, no. I think there is no question that my knives were sharper out of the box than I may achieve with this hand sharpener. But that does not mean that this was a bad purchase. It has restored my knives from being a bit dull to being utterly adequate for the use they get in my kitchen.

If you want to achieve like-brand-new razor sharpness, this sharpener will not do that for you. If you want to fetch your dull knives back to a degree of sharpness that will be adequate for 99% of home cooks, this would be a good item to have.

Finally a sharpener that works
By H. D. Hoinkes
I am the proud owner of 25 Henckels knives, for the most part due to a consolidation of two households. I was never competent to get a genuinely sharp edge on these knives, no matter of the sharpeners employed and I tried numerous dissimilar gizmos using dissimilar sharpening techniques. The latest was the motorized "Chef's Choice" using diamond encrusted wheels and magnetized knife guides for the proper sharpening angle. Doing 25 knives took with regards to two hours at least and the result was commonly unremarkable. Actually, the knives remained outstandingly dull no matter of the effort expended with this noisy gadget. And then I stumbled all over the Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. Somewhat encouraged by the for the most part positive client feedback, I purchased one and have never looked back. The routine is silent, it takes less than one third of the time equated with the "Chef's Choice" and the results are remarkable. The knives slice through the edge of a sheet of paper with no difficulty, tomato skin is no longer a challenge and carving a side of beef or a turkey is a joy. Pulling the knives through the sharpening ports of the Sharpener at firstborn seems to yield nothing, but after the third or fourth pass the steel or ceramic plates engage the knife and impart an astounding edge. Maybe I am over-reacting because all my former attempts with other sharpeners were overly time consuming and did not yield good results. This one, however, is different. It genuinely works! Some have said that the gadget does not impart the same edge as a professional sharpening would and that may be true. However, I don't intend to shave with my knives and for demanding kitchen work they are when it comes to as sharp as one would need. I think Henckels has done it this time. This is a outstanding sharpener!

A Great Sharpener
By Acomp42
This was a gift for my wife who is going to Culinary School and uses Henckel Four Star knives. The two step sharpener works outstanding and is very easy to use. A few strokes in slot 1, then when it comes to the same amount of strokes in slot II and the knife is new sharp again. The body of the sharpener is easy to perceive and in truth feels secure on the table with it is rubber feet keeping it steady as you run the knife in each of the slots. This sharpener not only works great but likewise looks great with it is stainless steel body and frame.
